Helen, it varies. Sometimes I need to cough up mucus while deeply inhaling and holding when I nebulize. When I don’t inhale as deeply and hold it a bit, it usually comes up with the Aerobika. I find that sometimes after the Aerobika, I later am able to bring up more mucus. Yes, it can be time consuming, especially when nebulizing saline, then using Aerobika, then nebulizing Arikayce. Thank good that Arikayce is not twice daily!

Yes Vivien, that is true. I am happy Arikayce is not twice a day. It takes me 1.5 hours to finish saline, aerobika and amikacin every morning. But I am happy to switch it to the morning so I can sleep early. I takes a lot of patience. But it produces a good amount of mucus, same here! I understand how you feel to count it month by month. I am so happy for you that you only have single digits months left to be on medication! ! 🙂 What an achievement! 🙂
