Hi, started bringing up so much more stuff when I started using the nebulizer with 7% saline. The only thing I dread is using the flutter for 10 minutes after. My doc didn’t recommend the aerobica that hooks up to a nebulzer.

On the topic of nebulizer/Aerobika use. I use the two attached to each other with 3% saline. I do this while simultaneously running my vest for 30 minutes. My pulmonologist recommended this approach. Mucus often comes up after the first 10 minutes and continues later in the vest/saline/Aerobika treatment. Sometimes there is nothing substantial until after the treatment or when I subsequently nebulize Perforomist. If I drink water or a citrus drink after the treatment, that seems to help bring up the mucus. With brochiectasis and a pseudomonas colonization, my lungs are producting a lot of mucus. I'm only taking azithromycin at this time. I've been off other antibiotics for the pseudomonas for at least 6 months. I'm convinced that keeping my lungs clear of a mucus breeding ground with this vest/saline/Aerobika treatment is the reason. Have others followed this or a similar approach and share my speculation about effects?

Thanks Glenda @glendamoseley1 -- that's really interesting. (I've wondered if mucus is just 'stuck' down in my lungs and not coming out}. I will talk to my pulm about this when I see her later in March.
