If you don't ask your question, the others who have the same question won't get the answer they also need to read. We really want to share information and feel privileged to have good info that we have gathered over the years that we CAN share instead of having folks making the same mistakes we did.
It was really hard for me to re-train myself to let my docs know at the VERY FIRST sign of infection instead of toughing things out, as I had done all my life prior to my pulmo insisting that I HAD to let him know whenever I had ANY symptoms that I was getting an infection, including starting discolored mucous. It has made a WORLD of difference to work with my docs and have a written COPD Action Plan.
Please feel free to start new threads or post on existing ones. It is easier to start a new thread if you want a new topic and just add on to an existing thread if you're "continuing a conversation." At least that's how I prefer to do things.
