@sueinmn Thanks so much for your detailed explanation - certainly far more than the doctor said! No suggestion was made re an inhaler or nebulizer. (Any further comment about that?) The doctor did ask the nurse to show me how to use the acapella and they had me use it with them, to make sure I was doing it correctly.

HI - If you are able to bring up mucus without a nebulizer or inhaler, you are probably doing OK. If not, I would ask about an Rx for one or the other. I started with using the inhaler, but it wasn't much help, but the advice on this group led me to using my neb (which I already owned) and finally, asking for 7% saline to use after or in place of levalbuterol, depending on how my lungs are doing.
