I have to neb 4-6 times a day. I always have the spare parts on hand. In fact, I just ordered a new small Omron battery powered nebulizer today. I about fainted when my insurance said it would cover 90% of it. Here is more about it on this site: http://www.portablenebs.com/index.htm The only time I get in a fix is when NOTHING helps and I am out of Pred. When this happens, its ER time. Hope you get better fast! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
