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
