Oh yes, Cila, coughing out the mucus from your lungs is a very good thing. The fact that it is dark indicates there is some infectious process (like MAC) going on. The mucus we all have in our lungs is a nice, warm, dark place for bacteria to grow. Getting rid of mucus takes away the comfy home. Bronchiectasis means our small airways are damaged and don't automatically do the job of moving mucus like a normal lung. So nebbing to thin the mucus and coughing to bring it up helps get rid of it.
What solution do you use in your nebulizer? Has anyone shown you how to cough out the gunk more efficiently, or do you use a device like Aerobika or Acapela to help you?
