Thank you Scoop. I can't use Albuterol because it make me trimble . Have been using Levalbuterol for a few years but I have to stop every now and then because of thrush. Recently I started using
Ipratropium Bromide 1 X a day. but has to stop that yesterday due to thrush...I have found that Nystatin oral rince works best for me to cure the thrush .
Also recently learned from a CT scan that there is a vertabtas out of alignment and a spur from it is pressing on my esophagus.
I know now that is the reason for the dysphagia but also wondering if that is the reason it takes so long to get the mucus up. I have not found out yet if the esophagus is compressing the trach.

raney. After reading your post I wanted to ask you about your experience with levalbuterol causing thrush. I've got an autommune condition (lichen planus) which causes problems with my gums--inflammed, very tender. I never experienced what I thought might be thrush. I've used levalbuterol (puffer) for over 5 years and last year my teeth have begun breaking off at the gumline--six so far. None of the doctors or dentists have any answers and to be honest I don't think they want to take the time of help figure things out. I'm 78 and have been told my bones or gums are not strong enough to have implants or even dentures. They've made a partial for the upper and the inflammation is so bad I can't eat with it or even wear it. They have done numerous "adjustments" but things are unbearably painful. I guess I'm just trying to grab at straws to attempt to find answers before all or most of my teeth are gone. If you prefer to pvt message me, that's fine. @fdixon63

Raney. Besides nystatin liquid there are Nystatin tablets and clotrimazole lozenges- might be easier to use. I did not know they exist. Besides rinse mouth with apple cider vinegar( one teaspoon for a glass of water) that helps too or tea tree oil- might help too. By the way I really think nystatin has terrible taste.
