That is a great discussion to have with your pulmonologist when they have a new CT and lab results to compare with the previous set. I too neb once a day & do clearance (no vest), only moving to twice for a tight feeling, increased cough, when ill, etc. I also only add a levalbuterol neb as needed. Also, if I have an inflammatory flare in my body, I do more to keep it from settling in my lungs. My pulmonologist is fully supportive of my variable schedule.

I also use singulair daily, flovent, Mucinex 600 LA & N acetyl cysteine 600 twice a day.

Caution: I tend to push the limits. Right now that is safe for me as my Bronchiectasis is stable and my general health is as good as it gets. If anything changes, I leap into action.

Sue, does NAC really helps with Bronchiectasis?

What causes the body to suddenly decide to "go crazy" and have an exacerbation or "flare up" with all the usual symptoms (nausea, weight loss, SOB, terrible lung sounds, weakness, etc) ? The disease is "slow" so I know it can't be a sudden overgrowth of the mycobacterium. I will be feeling normal and then it slaps me in the face out of nowhere.
