Ksmiles123 Check-In 01/07/2026
We will continue with goal setting throughout this week.
Education &
Self-Management
Purpose: Increase
confidence and independence.
- Understand BNTM and treatments
- Know when to contact the care team
- Learn infection-prevention strategies
- Prepare for travel, school, or work needs
Example goal:
Be able to explain my treatment plan and flare
signs to a caregiver or teacher. For bronchiectasis and NTM, stability is success. Not getting
worse, avoiding flares, and maintaining daily life are meaningful achievements.
Do you have a self-management goal that you would like to share with the community?
It is not our intention to serve as a substitute for medical advice and any content posted should not be used for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. We make every effort to support our members, our medical professionals cannot and will not provide a diagnosis or suggest a specific medication; those decisions should be left to your personal medical team. While we encourage individuals to share their personal experiences with COPD, please consult a physician before making changes to your own COPD management plan.
Community posts are monitored by the 360social Community Manager, as well as staff respiratory therapists, educators, and other medical professionals.
