I am glad things have improved so much for you. It gives me hope too. Is the 7% salt a prescription or over the counter?

7% saline is available by prescription or over the counter, but Rx is usually much cheaper. If you are on Medicare, it is covered by Part B because it is dispensed by a device (not Part D for prescriptions.) You often have to be assertive to get it - mine is between $7-14/for 60 vials, depending on where it is filled. I have paid a lot more, up to $50 - when I believed the pharmacy tech who told me it wasn't covered.
