I mean, literally, NO nebs including saline at this point unless I sense an impending problem. I have no problem doing airway clearance after my daily (generic) Symbicort inhaler plus a quick walk or other exercise. I also use 600 mg Mucinex twice a day to keep my mucus thin.
Recently, we had very high humidity & some grass fires so I nebbed saline for a couple days as a precaution. I will also be nebbing 2-3 times a week for the next couple weeks because the mesquite and pine pollen are causing me to produce more mucus. When I return to MN in May, I will also neb because of pine pollen there.
@blm1007blm1007 Barbara - the above is what I mean by "living dangerously" - I am trying out the no neb/limited neb protocol. So far, so good - I have stayed healthy, but will shift back to nebs during these allergy times as a precaution.

Yes, I think with getting to a point where we did the nebulizing to get the built up mucus out, that originally sent us looking for answers from the medical professionals with what we were experiencing, of our lungs.... and keeping ourselves hydrated.... helps a great deal as long as we do air way clearance techniques and good movement/exercise. As we have been told hydration is so important for all the bodies systems and especially now for helping get the mucus out etc.
Sue, you are an inspiration. Hope the fires and pollen subside and calm down so you can limit the nebulizing routine.
Thanks for the explanation.
