Does anyone nebulize Budesonide and Albuterol?

I think I need to re-check the way I'm nebulizing as I had understood from pulmonologist to use saline first -- then albuterol followed by Budesonide, Perforamist and Yupelri. It's not a program that seems to help but if I stopped, perhaps I would realize it did help some. Not having great luck with anything. Have been in Rochester Mayo's hospital a few months back -- came home with picc line and have done many infusions with different meds -- none of which worked. Sometimes it's quite depressing. I had breathing episodes with tobramycin and colistin and did 63 infusions of another one I can't even remember the name -- and that was not effective either. I have tons of green phlegm every day -- the coughing is continuous. Any ideas, anyone?????

auntnanny... I'm sorry to hear the infusions haven't cleared up your mucus. Have you tried postural drainage? There are You tube videos that show the different positions. When my lungs were full of yellow mucus, it turned out to be Candida which does not respond to antibiotics. I used Candida Cleanse for 6 months and my bronchoscopy showed no more Candida. You may be unfortunate enough to have antibiotic resistant germs. I sincerely hope not. Try the postural drainage to clear out as much mucus as you can. I've started the new drug Brinsupri and after 3 weeks am still on maintenance azithromycin. It seems to work to keep the infection down.
Alternative s like cupping (through acupuncture) and N -ACL, beetroot, etc have sometimes been helpful when hope is waning. Don't be afraid to try something new.
