@californiazebra Thanks for your reply. I am so happy to hear your octreotide injections are doing the trick for you! That's amazing. I can't wait to see my new ID Dr. to get some answers and some kind of treatment. Also, learning about airway clearance techniques online shouldn't be what a person has to do . I'm going to let my pulmonologist know how disappointed I am with his ability to educate me about anything! (another giant frustration!)
