New PARI Nebulizer Options Coming Our Way?

@lilianna I use Symbicort (LABA combo) 2-3 times daily instead of levalbuterol. Rarely use levalbuterol - maybe 1-2 times a month.
I exert, huff and puff, push myself quite hard - it seldom stops me because shortness of breath has been my status quo for over half my life, so sometimes I don't even notice. For example, today after a bunch of other yard work, I started mowing - when I got short of breath, I just slowed down - way down - and realized my O2 must be a little low, but I finished the patch. Then I sat down, drank some water and rested until my respiration was normal - it took about 10 minutes.
I realize my way is not for everyone, but I'm a stubborn old lady.

@sueinmn good morning Sue. You are stubborn but you survive on this. Well the weather is perfect in the Chicago area so I rode a bike yesterday, for an hour. It did not improve my mucus but it made me feel better. I have in mind your words about small faster movements and hope one day something works for me because I really tried everything what I heard about or told to do. Anyway thank you for your kind words and I wish happy time in your garden.
