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.

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
