Windwalker, isn't Flovent a steroid? My doctor has me on Ventolin as opposed to Flovent because of that reason. He said using any steroid is like throwing gasoline on a fire ( for the MAC ). I, also, am on the Big 3. I'm just curious. Additionally, I see y'all writing about saline solutions 7%..... can anyone tell me what that's all about? How do you use it and what is the purpose? Thank you all for your dedication to helping others ! Toni

@toni1132 Toni - I think it depends what you want to accomplish with the saline. If it is to create a productive cough and. 3% works, go for it. If you are trying to keep MACat bay, research seems to show you need 7%, so that's what you would choose. I had not heard of the negative connection between flovent and bronch, guess it's time for some reading.
