@haiku I too find all the coughing embarrassing That plus fatigue keeps me away for many social interactions. I hate the mucus, most especially when I get into bed, longing to sleep and I start coughing. I have to get up and bend over to help drain the mucus, sometimes 2or3 times. This happens most nights and takes the pleasure out of going to bed.I nebulizer twice a day, helps some. My cat scan regularly show very little progression of the MAC...I guess it's the bronchiectasis, in part that is causing the coughing. No body seems to really know..

I had same thing terrible cough and phelgm. Doctor put me on symbicort. Wonderful no more cough or phelgm

@flib Hi. Have you been tested for pseudomonas recently? Turns out, that is what caused me to cough for so long. Was put on tobramycin to get rid of it. Can't assume current antibiotics would have killed it; I caught mine while on cipro and doxycycline.
