Hi,
I’ve been living with the “ticking time bomb” for 6 yrs. I also have minimal symptoms & have never taken the “big 3”. My pulmonologist referred me to an ID Dr. several years ago, but he did not feel my condition warranted treatment (at the time I was regularly coughing up blood). I started nebulizing sodium chloride (3% initially, then 7%) & I really believe that has helped me stay healthy (no colds, flu, or Covid-fingers crossed). I would speak with the ID Dr. about what she would recommend. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, & 7-8 hrs of sleep are all part of my treatment plan! Take care, Linda
Thank you for your response. Initially he wanted me to take all 3 at once 3 days a week. Now that I am seeing an ID Dr. she isn't starting me on any meds right now because I have no symptoms. It's kinda like living with a bomb inside of you just waiting to go off and not knowing when that might happen. I believe I got this disease from volunteering to take care of the 4H Gardens. Oh well, it is what it is. Best wishes for good health for you.
