Some thoughts after 10 months of nebbing saline

@scoop I can get hypertonic saline, and many nebulizers and compressors, without a prescription. But I did need a prescription for the Pari eRapid! For that I asked the pulmonary specialist I was assigned. It took a few weeks due to clerical snafus but I eventually got it.
I have to pay for all my lung stuff out of pocket but at least I could get an Rx from my health system.

@bronchiectasaurus if it’s any consolation, I also pay out-of-pocket for my hypertonic saline and every single nebulizer.

I think most of us, regardless of having insurance of some sort, have to pay out of pocket for our "lung stuff" because only the cheap stuff is covered and we really need better nebulizers etc to do us any good.
Have you checked to see if there is a Bronchiectasis/NTM specialist in a larger metropolitan area that is not too far out of travel distance for you? It would be worth your time even if you have to drive farther than your immediate locale.
