I am not a régular here but find encouragement in the last few posts I read on diet. I’m interested if people who have been dealing with this for some time would like to share info about finding medical providers or centers they have found most helpful in dealing with this condition. I have also have RA (and Parkinson’s) - also impacting my lungs- have had some progression on CT with small cavities have had recurrent weird “opportunistic” infections like pseudomonas and seem to have some background fungus. I take immune suppressants for my RA which has to be balanced with the lung issues. Seems that the goal is to maintain be best state of homeostasis to limit progression and live well and enjoy life. I love my doctor who is at retirement stage. He is wise and experienced and sees quality of life as the ultimate goal. It took me a while to find him. Best to you all.

As a person with a whole lot of other health issues going on, maybe you should consider a visit to Mayo Clinic, where they are accustomed to managing multiple issues and working in conjunction with your provider "back home" to coordinate care.

Here is a link you can use to get started: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Rochester and Jacksonville are centers for treating bronchiectasis, I ma not sure about Arizona.
Good luck in your journey - it sounds like you are keeping a positive attitude, which is a big part of living well with whatever life throws at us.
