Thank you Katherine and Steve for the information as to how best to get the sputum up - lovely subject! - I will ask my doctor about adding the saline to my nebulizer. As to the Aerobika approach: can I purchase this device online or do I have to get a prescription? Pamela

@pamelasc1, Pamela, I wanted to get us back on our own MAC & Bronchiectasis Forum so am going to answer here.

I saw that actually Steve was adding Albuterol to his nebulizer ... which opens up the airways .. mention this to you doctor .. that could help also! In terms of he Aerobika .. you can just purchase it online.

I would love @decosmo and @maryjo2sell to jump in with their thoughts .. BECAUSE I took a chance and purchased mine on Ebay for half the price .. just $54 with shipping. BUT with my particular lung situation to get a forceful "flutter" I had to turn the "+" sign to maximum. SO my question to @decosmo and @maryjo2sell .. my Aerobika looked absolutely legit when I compared it to the website https://www.monaghanmed.com/Aerobika .. AND it came with full instruction booklet etc in a plastic bag .. AND it is getting up more sputum than I am able to get up with just my normal coughing .. BUT I am hesitant to recommend this particular Ebay sellar for half the price unless someone who purchased for full price tells me they have NEVER needed to go to the max "+" setting. So I am satisfied with it .. I cleaned it per the instructions .. I used antibacterial dishwash soap .. rinsing VERY carefully and air dry. But I just want to hear from @decosmo and @maryjo2sell and any other Aerobika users. Help! Hugs! Katherine
