Thank you Sue for spending the time to explain.
I feel the Levalbuterol solutions help me to do a better job of airway clearance. Maybe they penetrate the small airways better. Do you need to use Breyna even if you use the solutions? I feel my airway clear after using the solutions. It makes me question long term use of solutions only because the doctors prescribe this when we have exacerbations. You are right we can't take asthma lightly.

I use the Breyna inhaler twice every day, only add levalbuterol nebs during an exacerbation.

My lungs are (currently) quite clear, so I use saline 1-2 week, do airway clearance daily after exercise. All that goes back to twice a day nebs/airway clearance at the first sign of a respiratory infection or other exacerbation. Fortunately that only happenned in 2024 when I had Covid, otherwise I have been doing very well. My pulmonologist called me a "poster child" on how to pay close attention and change up my routine as needed.
