Wow...the Volara and a vest! You have quite the airway clearance toolbox!! I too, sometimes use 3 % in the evenings if I find myself getting hoarse and my throat is sore from the 7%. You said that you now have a wet cough, but are you able to cough stuff up now? For example, could you give a sputum sample?

I could at times give a sputum sample but it is difficult to be able to expectorate completely most of the time. And even now, it is not the huge amount of mucus some people talk about. My next appointment is in August. My doc was doing pulmonary function tests alternating with CT scans for 2 years and they both remained stable. Have had nothing since last August now due to those results and will see what he says this August . Being on this forum encourages me to keep up the airway clearance faithfully. Even though I don't have the diagnosis of MAC I have adopted some of the precautions on this forum for prevention purposes.
