What type of lung clearance do you use? I am in the same boat as the person above. Did your Dr. prescribe the lung clearance or is it something you did on your own? Thank you

My Pulmonaligist prescribed compression vest, which I do 3x's a day, with albuterol inhaler or nebulized, depending on how thick I feel my mucus is. She also prescribed Flovent inhaler 2x's a day and 600 mg of an expectrant each day. My ENT prescribed Azelastin 1x a day and nasel rinse 2x's a day. I work closely with my Infectious Disease Specialist on the wait and see part. I had to be on some pretty serious antibiotics when I was first diagnosed, Tobramyicin. I was on that for about a year and a half with some pretty severe side-effects, both short-term and long-term. When I notice increased coughing and thickening of my mucus, I take zinc and D3 1x a day, everyday until I feel better. I also make an anti-inflammatory hot drink of water 1/4 c. of lemon juice, 2T. raw honey, 1/4 t. each of Tumuric, Cinnamon, and Ginger. I do yoga everyday. I walk as much as I can. I stopped eating refined sugar, and lost 40 lbs. Keep stress to a minimum and test to a maximum. I was having full-blown infections every 3 months for the past 3 yrs, until I've started on this regimen. I have been antibiotic-free for a year now. It's a lot of time and work, but it is so worth it. I think you just need to have a good team of doctor's to work with, and pay attention to your bodies warning signs, and don't delay or put off treatments. Praying for us all. 🙏
