Sue I think it was you who one wrote that you had always had mucus plugs and I know from your posts that you are free of MAC. How did you deal with the mucus plugs? I had them on my Feb CTscan and I still have them on the last one. I am concerned because I do not cough up anything and never had but I still cough- becomes better after the morning routine (symbicort, 3% saline, aerobika, autogenic drainage app) and azythromycin and clofazimine at night. How bad your mucus plugs were and is there even a way to deal with them besides what i do?

I'm sorry, that was five years ago and the details have escaped me...
Maybe someone else is dealing with this now?

@lilianna mucous plugs seem to go with the territory. If you can tolerate 7% saline it might be helpful in getting the plugs out. When using the AD app try gently squeezing from the inside emptying out all the air from your lungs, like at the end of blowing up a balloon. Sadly, it's rinse and repeat everyday....!
