7% saline continues to deliver.

Hi -
I found Tobi to be immensely irritating to my throat. It was before my 7% days, but for a few weeks afterward, even cold air or drinks above lukewarm were intolerable. This healed after a couple months. Right now, allergies are making my throat miserable, so I had to drop to 3% saline - I'll ramp up by mixing 7% and 3% half and half for a few days before I jump back to full 7%.

New to this forum & need to ask what Tobi is.

I did the half 7% and half 3% for about 2-3 weeks and now back on 7% full strength twice a day. My voice is back to normal as well. I'm also using the vest once a day simultaneously with my nebbing. Feeling much like my old self again. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. The downside is that now about once a week for the last two weeks I have coughed up the dark brown sputum. Looks like Pseudomonas is trying to come back. We all have to stay strong and keep fighting. Faye

That sounds mighty rough. “An ammonia-soaked Brillo pad dropped down my throat.” That’s how I’d characterize my first encounter with 7% saline.
