@mariegrace It hasn’t worked for me though helpful initially. Nebulizing 7% also caused frequent hemoptysis episodes that have really set me back. 7% is NOT for everyone. Now for two months I have been unable to tolerate even 3%, which I could tolerate previously.

AND I never found a big difference in sputum production with nebulizing, though it helped me tolerate more solid foods. My hope is to get back to 3%, which many people find to be just as effective as 7%. I have a friend that doesn’t get anything up at all with 7%, so the point I am making is that we are all different and one size does NOT fit all.

I have often gotten more up doing my yoga practice with coordinated breathing and breath holds than my nebulizing. Even an Aerobika can be done too aggressively. Listen to how your lungs are reacting at every turn since our disease presents quite differently in each of us. Hope this helps.
