@sueinmn thank you Sue, very helpful & interesting advice. I do have my next Pulmonologist appointment in two days and will definitely inquire about different options of airway clearance medication and techniques. I know I am likely many of us, willing to do the work it takes, just so hard to find that right combination that’s best. Thank you all.

@spider109 Yes is is definitely "just so hard to find that right combination that’s best" - and it is different for each of us!
I am lucky to have a great pulmo team working together - we even have our appointments in a group! One specializes in Bronchiectasis and related infections, the other in Asthma and allergies. Under their care, my lungs have been so well cared for, and other issues like vocal chord dysfunction, sleep apnea, and choking have been addressed. I feel blessed.
It took 3 years to get me to the right inhaler and dosage, as well as the correct combo of allergy medications. That was not fun, but it did result in giving up (mostly) my levalbuterol nebs and inhaler, which is a blessing as they made my tremors much worse.
Good luck with your appointment this week.
