Hello Raven. Bronchiectasis won't kill you. There is loads of good advice on this forum and elsewhere about how to manage it and lead a good life. I'm sorry I can't comment on your other problems- I hope someone will be along soon who knows about them. The forum helpline might be a good place to start looking. xxx

Hi Raven1977 and welcome to the site. Sounds like you have quite a bit going on there. I have bronchiectasis but dont know anything about the other conditions you have, perhaps do a search to see previous posts. I wouldn't read anything on google according to them we should all be dead by now. I am sure there are other members who will advise x

hi and welcome Raven 1977. There are various degrees of bronchiectasis and it’s a case of managing it. I suspect I’ve had it since I was 5 but only diagnosed when 50. I’m not sure about your other conditions. X
