Bronchiectasis: Is nebulizing helpful?

Yes, time seems to pass much faster if I do Connect while I neb!
Don't you just hate wearing a mask outside? We wear them in the yard, and I also wear one anytime I'm working in my daughter's house when dust is being raised while rehabbing (I also have asthma & allergies.) At least when Covid came along it was no big deal for me - I had been wearing N95 masks for several years, as does my brother.
The thing I find encouraging is that life seems to have improved for many of us by following the simple (if annoying) steps of nebbing saline & doing lung clearance.

Yes, I agree. The mask outside, especially on the hot days, was a drag....
As much as nebulizing gets tiring at times, I try to keep telling myself I am keeping my lungs as healthy as can be and am protecting myself as much as possible against MAC with the 7% saline. My physician was so sure I had MAC and was surprised when everything returned negative. I was grateful. This forum has educated me on how much people suffer with this. I am a nurse by background and had never heard of MAC or had one chart I reviewed reflect a patient had MAC. I fit the profile for "Lady Windermere Syndrome", but was glad did no have it....so far. That is a fancy sounding name for a disease one would not wish for!
