Hi Bon, I have BE and MAC and live in L.A. My pulmonologist takes samples every 6 mos or so. CT has been done every 6 mos to a year. My cough has improved considerably since I've been nebbing with the 7%. Over the past couple months, I have noticed a reduction in my cough which I suspect may be due to my consistent nebbing routine. In L.A. the weather is pretty warm year round so I can't really comment on seasonal changes.

I have started walking briskly for 20 minutes daily and it has lowered my bp and i hope is helping my lungs too......where the heck did we get this insidious lung thing anyway? it's so bazaar...never heard of it and I'm 73 years old..then suddenly, I have it. Go figure!
I neb religiously 2 x daily 7 percent saline......no matter what, I do it.......I'm lucky I get some up each time......I tried the antibiotics....couldn't handle the side effects. Do you take them?
