I neb with aerobika 29 minutes in the a.m. before eating anything. And, I cough up a good amount of both clear and yellow mucus. I follow that with 20 min with my compression vest. I follow this 2x routine daily. My second nebbing session has me coughing up about the same amount of mucus. The timing of my 2nd nebbing session varies. Sometimes I do it around 4 ish but, as I mentioned, if I am feeling esp cough prone, I'll wait and do it closer to bed time. Some days are better than others. Today I tried something different while nebbing. I stopped after about 10 minutes and did some huff coughing. and then resumed the nebbing. I think that helped get even more gunk out. Best of luck to you, Irene.

It is amazing how different each person is or at least I have not heard on this forum anyone that seems to match my experience. If I were to nebulize first thing in the am nothing much would come up. It is as if it has to get to a certain point to be able to expel. By the time 10:30 am arrives I can hardly breath. It builds up fast over the morning after breakfast. I nebulize around 10:30 or 11 and usually produce around 3 ounces spending one hour total.
