Are both flutter valve and nebulizer necessary?

I use the 7% saline as well. I have so much respect for my pulmonologist's expertise and this is what he's recommended. A previous pulmonologist had me use budesonide and Albuterol/IPRO with the nebulizer. It caused me to feel agitated and I my current doctor suggested that we discontinue it and just use the saline.

I discontinued salbuterol because it further weakened my LS muscle and neb simply with the hypertonic saline. My mucus is relatively loose anyway, so it seems to be working fine for me.

You could try it and see how you go.
