The Wages of a missed Neb session.

@rits....I agree with you. My neb and postural draining take 3 hours a day and I try never to miss them. I work on puzzles during nebulizing and listen to books on tape during draining. These activities make coughing tolerable.
I have been free of MAC for 6 years now and had only one or two bronciectasis exacerbations. Prior to treatment I had exacerbations every 6 weeks at least. The neb treatments keep my asthma under control unless I experience extraordinary triggers. I am content with the treatments, since I remember how horrible it was to cough 24 hours a day.

I have reduced my time to 4 hours a day not counting the time 2 clean and sterilize equipment. Question: How do you do postural drainage. I have GERD and osteoarthritis. After neb I gargle with warm salt water and do the active breathing routine and get and in the evenings I get a lot more mucus out than in the morning. Bending over the sink does bother my back and causes more back pain but I don't know any other way. Would appreciate knowing what others are doing.

Gayle, I noticed somewhere that you’re a “therapist.” Just curious; physical, psycho, or hybrid?
