Combining clearing with exercise is something I plan to try. Thanks for the suggestion. Before exercise do you neb or use Symbicort only? In my mind I spend too much time clearing. Sometimes clearing feels like a workout in itself! I'm trying to figure out if I can can get the most gunk out in the first 2 tries and then move on with my day. Do you stop during walking to huff cough? It would be great to decrease nebs to 4-5/week but that's not likely even bronch is mild. Too much gunk in the a.m. Do you mind sharing where your bronch is in your lungs? Mine appears to be diffuse.

I'm pretty flexible about my routine...usually inhaler, stretch & a cup of tea, neb and a few buffs, then walk or work in the garden - both help bring stuff up. I stop what I'm doing for a short time to huff and cough, when the urge hits again, repeat - usually 2-4 times over a half hour. The bending/standing sequence of pulling weeds or tending plants really seems to bring up the gunk.
You need to learn what works for you.
