Jane, please, don’t give up. Most of us struggled initially, but we persevered. Airway clearance used to take me 2 hours/session doing 2 sessions daily. Now, it takes 30 minutes/session. It was one of the most difficult life style changes I had to make.
Are you nebulizing with 7% saline? How often do you do it?
Is it possible to ask your pulmonologist to prescribe The Vest?

Thank you sue102. Since I wrote last my cultures are looking better. Actually, 2 out if 3 grew nothing and the 3rd wasnt usable. I am waiting for the newest 3 to come back and if good I may have only a year to go with the big 3 antibiotics if the cultures remain good. I know that could change but keeping my fingers crossed. I was using sodium chloride 7% and albuterol 2 x a day but didn't help. My infectious disease Dr said I could stop but if the cough got worse will have to start again.
