Once daily while wearing my aflo vest
Gbooth54. I nebulize twice a day- am before breakfast and pm usually at 6-7 because later I am too tired. I don’t produce any sputum to cough up but I do all the things I need. I use 2 puffs of levalbuterol then after 15 minutes I nebulize 7% sodium chloride with the red pari nebulizing cup, then nebulize 3% sodium chloride with aerobica attached to aeroclipse and two three times a week together with a vest. This I stop from time to time to huff cough. And sometimes, rarely I feel I have mucus so I lay down and use the autogenic drainage app on my phone to expel what’s left. When I am dry I stop. I hope this will keep me from MAC coming back. Sputum tests have been free of Mac since last year august but my Ct is just about the same with small extra changes. It’s a relief to not take meds but I am aware I am more vulnerable without azithromycin which protects us. Unfortunately I started having a lot of gastric problems a few months ago and all doctors said it’s is from antibiotics so I only hope things will get better with time. I wish you all the best
