I am curious Sue. My question is when did you decide to resume the 7% saline nebs? In July, I saw that you had stopped them, but can't see when you decided to restart? I am asking because I just concluded 14 months of ethambutol and azithromycin. My CT scan stays the same, but have no positive mac sputums the last 12 months. I still feel better after nebulizing 7% saline once a day with airway clearance. My infectious disease doctor said bronchiectasis will always be with me so this is important. (on another tack..still haven't found a good pulmonologist.)
Thanks, Cindy

In December when I got hit with a respiratory virus and began to build up mucus I resumed. I now neb with saline about 5 times a week, but not always 7%. I really do find I breather easier.
