Update: one week complete.
Coughing has decreased (other than during the nebbing when i start but quickly goes away and at night because I suck on a cough drop lozenge before going to bed). Living here in S AZ with high 90’s low 100’s has been worrisome because of dehydration so I drink a lot of fluid including Liquid IV because I do not want to mess up my electrolytes and hopefully I am protecting my kidneys. I must use oxygen at night so with dryness increasing I will be buying a moisturizer for my nose that apparently is safe to use with the oxygen. I am walking more on our treadmill to exercise my lungs so Miracle of miracles, too, my pulse-ox is now reading 95 during the day. I have always had trouble expelling mucous but I seem to be more successful at that, too. One day at a time.

@desertdwellerjh Liquid IV has things in it that will definitely affect your kidneys! Please ask your doctor about using any kind of electrolytes. I have stage 3 kidney disease and I cannot use them!
