Are all of you with MAC doing pulmonary hygiene?

Does anyone use anything less than 7%? I just started using the nebulizer and my Dr. Only prescribed .9% saline. I guess I’m going to ask for a higher % saline.
Thanks

@ginak Hi Gina. There are several members here on Connect that use 3% sodium chloride. It is less irritating for those with more gragile lungs. I know that @flib is on that dose.

@ginak I use 3.5% I tried 7% but it was too strong for my lungs. My doctor suggested the smaller dose and then I wanted to go higher. She was right.
