Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Joyce, I have a nebulizer and use it for albuterol and sometimes lidocain. When I have bronchitis or feel any sort of inflamation in my lungs I use it for albuterol. You will find it to be a blessing. It cuts down on the inflamation so you can have a more controlled cough and bring up the stuff sticking around in your lungs. Hope you feel better quickly, 34 FL IPF dx 1/06 > > just got a nebulizer > has anyone used a nebulizer > > it's for the bronchitis, not for the pf > > > > > > Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania > Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 > www.transplantfund.org > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi Joyce, I have used a nebulizer for years for my asthma. It is helpful. I use mine mainly in the morning because thats when i am most congested. I hold my breath for 10 seconds as Iam using it evey couple of minutes. They showed me that in the hospital to get the albuterol working faster.The only real side effect is that for awhile afterwards my hands shake alittle but thet stops. Its been my way of life for 30 years but my airways open and mucus comes out so thats a plus.I now have the premixed tubes. I started with the drops and cans of bronco saline but the premix is easier.Hope that helps. sharon astma pd 2008 From: H <truromntc (AT) yahoo (DOT) com>Subject: Re: nebulizerTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Monday, December 21, 2009, 12:02 PM I have one.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I used one for awhile after I was in the hospital with pneumonia and other nasty lung problems. I think I used it 4 times a day for 10 days.Beverley Joy,71, UIP,NSIP 1-09,Diabetes,Sjogren's,Fibromyalgia IdahoSubject: nebulizerTo: breathe-support Date: Monday, December 21, 2009, 5:04 AM just got a nebulizer has anyone used a nebulizer it's for the bronchitis, not for the pf Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund. org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
