Hi….Liz, when you use the saline nebulizing….do you cough up clear phleghm? (Occasionally small little yellow stuff in it, not,often) Sometimes there is more phleghm than other times. Does this happen to you? I have MAC, is that what you have.? I’m waiting to hear from NJH for an appointment time….and will go to Denver…..I live in Georgia. Do you get scared? What do you tell yourself…to help yourself? Thanks Bon

I cough up all colors! Sometimes clear, sometimes yellow, sometimes green! It's usually thin watery but sometimes a little thicker. I don't have MAC but I do have pseudomonas and have recently recovered from pseudomonas double pneumonia. I'm 77. I could barely walk because of shortness of breath for quite a while but I am walking now 18 minutes 1/2 up a hill now. I do take xanax before doctor appointments because they cause me panic attacks. I got scared when I had heart failure left ventricle but it has resolved itself and my heart is back to normal.. I had difficulty sleeping because of worrying. Cardiologist was going to implant a defibrillator if my heart did not improve but Thank God it did. I don't know how to help the worrying. It hits me at night and is like a hamster on a wheel but I try every day to "focus on what I can do not on what I can't do". Sometimes I take a xanax to sleep.
