@shayshay123 How long has she had BE.?
Was she diagnosed with BE early on or did the diagnosis come late after having symptoms of it that weren't recognized ASAP?
What does she do on a daily basis for herself? What is she able to do on a daily basis for herself?
All are important to understand for you, for her or any possible suggestions.
Barbara

@blm1007blm1007 hi Barbara hope you’re well
Mum was diagnosed relatively quickly. She’s now had it for 10 years. But we are told she has lung scarring even though her infections are under control. The main issue is her cough is not letting her sleep and her breathlessness is out of control. She doesn’t help herself either because she just seems like someone who has given up. She stopped work and is now mainly at home. Feels embarrassed to leave the house in case her cough episode begins. She can care for herself, but she’s clearly in discomfort because of the breathlessness and the coughing. Do you have any strategies that could help, anything that she can take? Your help is very much appreciated.
