Hi Susan-
Sounds like about two hours a day or more, if doing nebulizing two times a day, devoted to the routine. However, sounds about right for doing right by ourselves.
So, do you have time to do all your daily tasks including preparing food, cook. eat slow and by having small meal portions often throughout the day and clean up and help others on Mayo ? 🤣
Hope your Valentines Day in filled with smiles also,
Barbara

I only do it once a day per my doctors advice. I did it twice a day until about a year ago. It takes me between 30-40 minutes every morning. I’m finished by 6:15am with nebulizing and clearance. After that I move on to exercise at 7am and then to my normal, routine life. I eat three regular meals each day - mostly prepared at home except on weekends when we eat out more. I feel like my life is almost as normal as it was before diagnosis. I spend a lot of time with grandkids, family, friends and doing household chores.

I’ve always been a high energy person. For two years after I became sick my energy was extremely low and I felt like I was trudging through quick sand. Nothing was easy and I couldn’t keep up with normal life. Once I started nebulizing with saline ( thanks to this group), my health began to improve greatly and my energy returned.
