Nabulizing time

Posted by lindenflower @lindenflower, 5 days ago

Guys, how much time do you spend on nabulizing?
It takes me 2 hours a day.
30 min - Albuterol, 30 min -saline. And it’s twice a day.
What kind of machine to use to make it shorter?
My throat is hurting from so much.
Plus, I’m noticing the compressor gets really hot, and there are water bubbles in the tubing by the end of the sessions.
Something seems not right.
Please advise.

@lindenflower Hello, lindenflower, I spend about 20 min nebulizing in morning and bf bed with prescription for sodium choride 3% in in vials that he prescribes for 90 days and sends to Vanderbilt's clinic pharmacy mail order (I plan ahead). Publix and Walgreens pharmacies often don't have enough saline, especially in large quantities. Personally, I don't trust meds from Amazon (plus I quit them 2 years ago).

I use the VIOS pari-pro for main nebulizer and had a Pari Trek S Portable Compressor until it broke down on a vacation and found a medical supply that sold an Omron compressor nebulizer that I still use for trips. (After Dr. Shane's presentation I wanted to learn more about her suggestion to use nebulizer solution before Aerobika. Can anyone who watched it please clarify).
Hope that's not TMI. Best, Jessed
