Airway clearance and how I feel throughout the day

Hi Ling,
I have had Bronchiectasis for 3 years. I have never taken any antibiotics. What I have been doing to nebulizing with 7% saline and .5 budesonide two times a day, mid morning and evening before sleep. I have had up and down days but so far have managed. What my routine is to walk for an hr in the morning and alternate and row on a rowing machine and some weights for strength. Then I do yoga for an hr and the inversions help to get the mucus out of me. that is the thicker greenish yellow stuff out. then I nebulize that takes me an hour and a half and that sort of keeps me clear for the day until evening. In the evening I just nebulize and that allows me to sleep without coughing.So far its worked and my ID doc and my pulmonologist say to keep doing this method. Wishing all of us good healthy breathing. Hal

Many thanks Hal for the detailed explanation of your daily routine practice. I am very impressed with what you are doing. How dedicated. Sounds like you do everything right to keep infections at bay. 3 years without infection is really great and hard to achieve. Do you use Aerobika to flutter? Do you think your condition stays stable? I also have a mild case, I was diagnosed last Nov. To keep the condition stable is my goal. But I am not sure I can achieve it. I already feel my symptoms are a little different from 3 months ago. I have a little more mucus than before. I even don't know what caused the change. Thank you again for being so generous to share your practice with me. It is a great help. I will ask my pulmonologist again to see if I should use saline. Keep up the good work and stay healthy and strong.
