I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis and MAC in 2017. The Doctors I went to said to do nothing. They did a CT every year and said do nothing until 2022. By then I had lost some pulmonary function. I wish I had know about airway clearance in 2017. If I had been doing it since 2017, I would not be having the problems I am having now. Go to NJH and get a baseline and start air way clearance and you won’t have to worry about it getting worse.

Best practice medicine would be a referal to a respitory therapist as soon as you get this diagnosis. Feel I'm trying to learn Chinese by braile in figuring out use of nebulizer, aerobika, airway clearance and proper sterilization techniques for all. Just diagnosed with Pseudomonas Oryzihabitans, I'm like what the hell did I do to get this on top of mycrobacterium lentiflavin...JNH in Dec.
