What are the stages and symptoms of Bronchiectasis?

I am so glad you have found the Chapel Hill Clinic, as well as local PCP and pulmonologist.
The medication regimen for MAI is definitely tough, so if you are well-controlled, the 7% saline may just be the thing for you (it has worked for me for 22 months now after I had to stop the antibiotics due to side effects.)
Sorry I cannot help with the Navage question - my ENT told me years ago that I wasn't a good candidate for nasal washes, which didn't hurt my feelings one bit! Putting liquid up my nose makes me feel like I am drowning.

Thank you Sue. I have so many questions and this group is a blessing. I have read about "flare ups" with fever, etc. But wondering if the thick clear mucus (large amounts) daily is to be expected forever or with right treatment will it eventually be less. That is another reason the airway clearance takes 3 hours each time. I never get all the mucus at any session.
