Bronchiectasis: A Look Back
Thinking reposting the Blog entry below might be timely. Why?

Christmas Wish-List, Part-6

Lung Update, or I Might Be a Hypochondriac
It’s been four years since I saw my Pulmonologist and I’ve had some ups and downs with my lungs and my coughing. I remember his words four years ago when he said, “you’ll always have this and it could get worse, but it probably… Continue Reading “Lung Update, or I Might Be a Hypochondriac”
Things I Have: Bronchiectasis and How I’ve Been Doing it All Wrong
When my Mom was alive, she was one step shy of being a medical doctor – and that “one step” was 6 short years of medical school and training. Other than that, she was our family doctor …well, a nurse practitioner, at least. If… Continue Reading “Things I Have: Bronchiectasis and How I’ve Been Doing it All Wrong”
Things I Have: Bronchiectasis (Mostly Gluten Free Experiment)
Since last we spoke of my Bronchiectasis, I’ve been experimenting a little. Mainly, I’m trying to avoid phlegm-inducing foods.
