I’m a first timer too. My Pari Vios wasn’t paid for by my Medicare Advantage plan and I’m not thrilled with it. I’m nebbing Albuterol and 3%saline twice daily. What brands are recommended by NJH or others in this group? And do they need prescriptions? Thanks

Well, there's the compressor and then the nebulizer. If you purchase them from either SaveRiteMedical.com or MedicaleShop.com , no prescription necessary. Nebology.com is a PARI company and only sells PARI products; they require prescriptions. There are others as well and most of them require prescriptions.
It's been an evolution for me regarding equipment and usage. I've looked for shortcuts here and there and honestly, I haven't found any!
Presently, I use the Ombra compressor with AeroEclipse or Pari Sprint nebulizers with the Aerobika (oscillating positive expiratory pressure device). I alternate but tend towards the Sprint since it's a bit faster than AeroEclipse. I neb levalbuterol and then 7% saline. Then I use the autogenic drainage app to assist with clearance. Like @stacie16 it's not always possible to remove all the gunk and lately it's been disturbing my sleep. Fortunately, I'm relatively cough free during the day. The next challenge for me is to figure out how to become rumble-free before turning in at night.
