Newly diagnosed and can’t get a handle on my anxiety

@sueinmn That is good to know. I wonder why the recommendations to replace every so often. The same with the various nebulizer cups and the Aerobika. I use the eRapid only for Arikayce and they send new aerosol heads to change out weekly and new handsets monthly. It seems like a waste but that is their explicit instruction. I am really curious, would it be for sanitation, even though the parts are rinsed, soaked and sterilized after every use?

@mjb24 Arikayce is rather dense for an inhaled medication, so my guess would be that people have experienced clogging or reduced output. A few members here have mentioned that they save the old heads and use them to nebulize saline.
