Thanks Cris and Julie for your advise. I'll be more careful about not letting it drop below 90%. My docs don't believe that this happens, because tests in the hospital don't reproduce it. However, I definitely see it fairly regularly when I'm not feeling great even when there's no phlegm.

Hi Everybody, How low do your sats drop when you exercise? My PFTs are usually really good - 88-92% when I'm not sick. Last year I did pulmonary rehab (basically riding stationary bikes and walking on treadmills while having your sats monitored). My sats almost never went lower than 94% even...

Hi there! Thanks for posting this thread. Yes, I have mild bronchiectasis in my right middle lobe, right lower lobe, and left lingula. My FEV1 has been between 74% - 92%, usually on the higher end. Evidently I do not have CF, although the full Ambry testing has never been done. For years I...

<P><FONT size=1>I had a bad exacerbation in February and ever since then I have had a low grade fever on and off almost every day.  (Only rarely goes above 37.5)  Antibiotics lower it, some better than others, but a few days after I stop the fever appears again.  What's weird is that I don't...

Saw pulmo yesterday and was surprised to discover that the cultures for the mycobacteria actually aren't in yet.  Transbronchial biopsy showed: * Peribronchial cellular interstitial inflammation and non necrotizing granulomas * lympocytic aggregates without germinal center * Prominent...

About a month ago I had a bronchoscopy done because my pulmo suspects I have mycobacterium.  He is suspicious because I had a bad exacerbation at the end of February and ever since then I have had a recurring low grade fever.  (You can see more details about all of this in my blog posts via the...
