After Intermittent Feeling Like A Cow Pat Over Last Two Nights ... Went And Seen My Lung Doc And Cut Strait To The Chace And Told Him Feel Like Am Going To Drop Dead

But Am Feel Tad Better

Hi Daz

Hope the Clarith kicks those bugs into touch and you feel much better very soon. Also glad the hypertonic is helping to shift the gunk.

I am on hypertonic pretty constantly, and although I have heard of lungs washed out during bronchoscopy, I have never heard of lungs being washed out because of using hypertonic.

Knitter - Yes hypertonic is similar to your 0.9 but in a much higher strength 3%, 7% etc. and both are nebulised. A consultant would decide if hypertonic is necessary - it is often used in cf and npn cf bronchiectasis. Cons would usually arrange for a patient to be assessed at the hospital, where you neb a bronchodilator, followed by the hypertonic. as hypertonic doesn't suit everyone.

Get well soon our Daz.

Love cx
