@sueinmn Hi Sue,
I am doing ACTs twice a day and the productivity of sputum has dropped drastically in the past two months. My only symptom is some fatigue but I workout daily for an hour with weights and walk 3-5 miles plus cycle 20-30 miles 3 days a week.

@louis228 Excellent! I find exercise the most important aspect of my airway clearance. But your routine puts me to shame!
I stopped antibiotics over 6 years ago when some of my sputum cultures will still positive, relying on airway clearance with saline nebs (at mist daily, occasional now)and I have been MAC-free since 2020.
