In reply to @totty….. I have bronchiectasis but have never had MAC/NTM’s. I nebulize twice daily with albuterol and 7% saline solution while wearing a smart vest. I have a chronic dry cough and regular bouts of excessive fatigue. The fatigue I manage by breaking activities into small steps and taking breaks. I do not nap so I can sleep well at night. I have the advantage of being retired now, but when I was working, I pushed through my daily schedule and collapsed until the next day. Fortunately, I did not develop bronchiectasis until after my children were grown up. I had enough struggles with chronic migraines since childhood, but did everything I could to give my everything to my kids❤️ Good luck in your journey😊

Thank you so much for your openness and details. My husband is 83 and his Bronchiectasis was recently diagnosed following aspergillosis. Just when we thought we were making progress the chronic cough worsened and chronic fatigue also appeared out of no where!
What is the benefit of the vest?
Do you recommend a particular vest?
It is reassuring to know that you have weathered these issues for a long period of time
but unfortunate for you that you have suffered so long. At our ages we are thankful for every day and want to combat this Bronchiectasis every possible way. Again thank you!
