Hi…I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in December following an asthmatic episode. The diagnosis helped explain many of the symptoms I’ve been aware of for a long time and the symptoms seemed to worsen following the diagnosis! My pulmonologist suggested I try brinsupri and I have been taking it for about a week now. On a positive note I am having fewer coughing episodes and mucus is able to come out more easily. However, it is still a very dark color. I am also just so exhausted to the point that everything seems to be an effort! Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms shortly after beginning Brinsupri? Thank you 🙏

@turtlegals yes, bronchiectasis by itself can be exhausting! I’ve been on Brinsupri going six months and over the last several months there have been lots of steps forward, and lots backwards. My advice is to hang in there. In the meantime, if you have darkening sputum, perhaps it’s worth dropping off a sputum sample. Do you have an open order? I feel like Brinsupri helped me to clear out a lot of old gunk so that could be part of it, or perhaps you’re having an exacerbation.
