Dear All, I want to thank our Member 128128terry11t Terry for bringing back to us an answer to a question that many of us have had as we visit family or friends .. thank you Terry! Hugs to all! Katherine!
From Member 128128terry11t Terry after visiting NJH and getting answers to her questions: If you travel and don't want to bring a compressor, etc for Saline nebulizer, is it all right to use just the Aerobika while away for a weekend or about a week. Also if you can't do treatment twice a day, is it ok to use Aerobika and Saline nebulizer in morning and just Aerobika for second treatment in afternoon? Answer: Yes to both questions. Better than nothing but make sure that you clean Aerobika EACH time and while away.

@128128terry11t, Terry thanks for adding this good advice. Each of our medical situations are so different .. what MIGHT work for one may be detrimental to another. As always .. we must each be own own best advocate! But again, thank you Terry for bringing back this info for our Group! Hugs to all! Katherine

As Katherine always tells us, it is important to do your own due diligence. Because your medical professional may think differently, It is wise that you confirm with your own doctor whether or not it is appropriate for you to use an aerobika/nebulizer in morning and only the aerobika for second treatment if you find the use of a nebulizer/compressor burdensome later in the day. In addition ask if it is acceptable to only use an aerobika without a nebulizer/compressor when traveling for short periods of time. Just wanted to add this brief postscript. Terry
