That's an interesting question. I don't think a mucus thinner would be of much help if your body isn't producing any. Perhaps it would be useful during an exacerbation to thin the mucus when you are producing it.
Do you do routine airway clearance exercises? Or use saline to help keep your lungs as clear as possible?

Hi Sue!
I do 30 minutes on elliptical almost every day but @ low level, mind you. I do aerobica on days I can’t exercise. Don’t nebulize except when I’m sick. Only did saline once @ hospital and it didn’t work and I had a reaction…. Don’t know if from solution itself, panic attack or what but it was awful!! Blood pressure shot up, shaking, freezing, tingling in extremities , SOB, etc. I actually have appt today @ UNC with pulmonologist- got my list of questions!!
Happy Valentines Day!
Dee
