It's really up to you what works. Most agree that morning first thing feels necessary. The only part of your routine I wonder about is drinking coffee before clearance. I would hesitate to do that as to not tempt reflux. Rule of thumb is limit fluids/food for 2 hours before clearing especially if PD is involved. I usually clear pretty much about an hour before sleep. What's optimal is twice a day and you are doing that! Kudos!
Are you on Brinsupri? I'm at week 3 and it already made a difference in reducing clearance time.

@scoop Great to hear "it already made a difference in reducing clearance time."
I will be talking to my pulmonologist the end of the month about starting the Brinsupri and hope getting it etc. etc. is seamless.
Another individual on Brinsupri said they had less of a need to clear the mucus, feeling of lump in the throat etc., in between therapy sessions of nebulizing. How I hope that will be the same for me when I start the Brinsupri.

@scoop great point about the coffee prior to the clearance. My schedule is very much like @spider109 - need my morning coffee (even if it is half caff with lots of steamed milk!). Maybe I need to move things around a bit and do AC first then do coffee as reflux has been an ongoing issue for me. Thanks for bringing that up.
