Toni - Every time I think "I don't need to neb" reality smacks me on the head with increased fatigue, coughing or other symptoms. I find that nebbing does a far better job of loosening secretions than the inhaler, and I bring up more "junk." This is obvious when I skip nebbing for a few days (still doing inhalers and airway clearance) and I cough up thick clots after each of the first few nebs, then the secretions thin again.

Hi Sue, was wondering if I should use two cups when I nebulize. Budesonide .5 milligrams and sodium chloride 3%. I nebulize one after the other and think will one cup work in that its going right into my lungs.
Thanks, Hauoli

Sue, here’s an “off-topic” question. I notice the terms “Mentor” and “Moderator” on the Forum. They’re not synonymous are they? Don
