Anyone in the Encore Arikayce study?

My doctors advised to stop using a humidifier because they all, every kind, harbor bacteria and aerosolize it, so you breathe it in. The only kind of "humidifier" they think is acceptable is pans of water on the radiators (which must be cleaned & refilled every day). And that only works in the winter.

Everyone has to make their own decisions about how to stay as healthy as possible, maintain our protocols and have a life at the same time! I am finding it really challenging!!

Yes LVNL, I totally agree with you. 🙂 That is a very good point. But maybe we can use saline 0.9%, same as airway clearance. That helps with upper airway spasm and reduce the irritation to vocal cord, of course in my opinion, I am not a medical provider, just use my research skills to analyze it.

We use a humidifier in bedroom in the winter and have Blueair air purifyers in bedroom and living room.
