Hardly any sputum today. Plus a question

@scoop Thanks, Scoop for your response. I'm not sure where my bronchiectasis is in my lungs. I hope nebulizing 3% saline and purchasing the Aerobika will make a difference, along with deep breathing and getting exercise. I'll also try postural drainage as you suggest. My pulmonologist also prescribed Spiriva inhaler which I've been doing each morning, and I'm wondering if this could be having a negative effect on me?

@phoenixrises
Spiriva has been discussed quite a bit. Here's a link to past discussions (found from entering spiriva in search bar).

It can be very drying and make lung clearance more challenging. Where are you getting your treatment? are you getting it at one of the 25 bronchiectasis centers?
