Airway clearance w/ #bronchiectasis improves quality of life. It’s like brushing your teeth—you may not see results right away, but consistent practice keeps your lungs clean and slows disease progression, even if you don’t produce much mucus.

Did you know that #NTM (nontuberculous mycobacterial) lung infections are more common in the U.S. than in many other countries? Here in the U.S., it’s estimated that approximately 1 in 4 individuals with bronchiectasis will develop an NTM infection.

The Spoon Theory -is used to illustrate the limited energy available to individuals living w/ chronic illnesses.

In this concept, each unit of energy is represented by a “spoon,” & tasks-cooking, attending social events each require a spoon. tinyurl.com/82vh7nr5 #bronchiectasis

Brilliant talk!!

To focus on airway clearance skip to about the 29-min mark.

On Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease, however, the airway clearance principles apply equally to bronchiectasis.

Conference after conference reminds us—people w/ #bronchiectasis have different profiles.

Some have lots of mucus, some less.

Some gain weight easily, others struggle.

So, don’t compare yourself to other others.

Do what you can. Move forward.
