Bronchiectasis: Is nebulizing helpful?

I am new to this forum as of June. At that time I was diagnosed with my 3rd flare of MAC. I felt like I was on the brink of death. After reading Don's post about 7% saline I started twice daily and have not looked back. My lungs feel clear, cough is gone, and my chest pain has resolved. I will also say I am a health care provider and realize just how little is know about management of this disease in the medical community. I find that I am educating my colleagues. Thank you for this forum, Sue's great moderation to keep it scientifically based, and all the encouragement from others!

Careful Tampamac, feeding my outsized narcissism is likely a dubious thing to do. But nonetheless, thanks for your kind words and glad to hear your improving. Don
I just found out I have it.
I’m trying to Not take any antibiotics and work on my immune system. My infectious disease Dr seems ok with this right now.
I play tennis 4 times a week, golf and have a high energy level. So far, so good. Scary stuff.

Just curious, as a health care provider are you a physician? My general practitioner defers most of my questions/care/treatment to my pulmonologist. As an RN I knew nothing about MAC. Is that your case? None of my co-workers were familiar with it either. You are right, we are educating others!
