I'm never asymptomatic in that I always have a horrible sounding cough. sometimes it is worse than others but -- always there. It has never gone away since I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis and have been told I do have some MAC but it is not bad enough to be treated. But cough and phlegm is always with me and Mayo's just says I have to cough it up -- it's the only way to get it out of lungs and they try to not suppress it. Not fun, but I've lived with it for many years now. I'm not what I call "sick"...... but it does kind of make decisions for me about where to go, etc. Especially now, with the pandemic..... I could clear a room in 15 seconds.
