Camille,
I am sorry to hear about your doctor problems, I can sympathize since I live in Bridgton, Maine. I am lucky do have found out about my lung problems, bronchiectasis and infections. I was referred to the Chest Medicine Clinic in Portland, Maine. I did not think the first doctor that I saw was doing anything to prevent me from getting sick, again, so I asked the clinic manager for a second chest medicine doctor. The second was is great, referred me to Allergy and Asthma Associates, where test showed I had CVID-Common variable immune deficiency. So, this was the cause of many of my problems, I am now doing weekly infusions, this has prevented me from getting sick and kept my lung problem under control. I also use saline 7% nebulizer, Breo, reduce dose to 100. and musinex. If you can see the chest medicine doctors, I recommend Dr. David Cohen, he takes it seriously.

Thank you for your kind response.
I am hoping I can get all the care I need for this winter from NJH. They have me there for 8 days. They have 34 appointments scheduled for me already!!! Yikes!
After that I will hav to see where else I will be seen when in Maine. Thank you for the referral to Dr Cohen.
I spend 6 months in Az and 6 months in Maine.
Thank you,
Camille
