I’m dripping with gratitude. I haven’t nebulized for months and haven’t had a flare-up either . Spontaneous remission rocks. May all you guys and gals have equally good luck!

Congratulations you lucky guy!
There’s great hope for tomorrow
for others!

@thumperguy - I am not quite so brave as you. I got a great report from my pulmonologist, and my new asthma meds, my lungs are more clear than ever, and even my all-day shortness of breath has been reduced to "when I'm chasing kids." She said I'm in remission, gave me a "just in case" Rx for antibiotics to have in my arsenal as we hit the road next week, so I don't have to try to convince an ER doc or PA if I have a flare. And said "See you in one year for imaging & spirometry unless you get sick" - Woohoo!
But, I'm afraid to stop my intermittent saline nebs and daily Aerobika. Maybe if I make it through the Fall, usually a tough season for my lungs, I'll be more brave...

Hello @thumperguy. You will notice I have moved your post into a previous discussion you stared on remission so that those following can more easily see your update. Happy to hear you are feeling well!

Great to hear Thumperguy! I am still quite hesitant like Sue to make any change to my routine. Twice daily neb with Aerobika after each. I believe the nebulizing with 7% sodium chloride has put an end to my hemoptysis which had become routine. A CT in Dec. & visit to my Pulmonologist in Jan. should let me know how I’m really doing but fortunately no symptoms now other than a small cough. So glad all your thumping, exercising & good eating have paid off! Take care Linda
