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
Now I Did't Know If It Was Hypertonic Saline That Was Making Me Feel Dodgy Or Battle Of Chest Infections Stress Or Heat So I Conceded
After A Load Of Green Mucus Popped Out Of My Nose ..... So Am Taking Good Stuff CLARITHROMYCIN 500mg For Next Ten Days But Not Happy About Possible Side Effects
So Decided To Convince Myself That Its Only If You Take High Dose Side Effects Will Affect Me
Currently Am Feeling Better But Am Well Hungary Thats Defo CLARITHROMYCIN 500mg Doing That .... And Looks Like Hypertonic Saline Is Finally Working And Am Still Taking My B12 Every Other Day And As Expected My Inhalers
I too hope you continue to improve and feel better.
Hope the anti biotics do what they are supposed to do, quickly!

in reply to
usually wat taste bad does the job,glad ur on the up ,
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 Daz. Pete takes same antibiotics as you when he has a bad chest/flare up and they are very good on the whole so keep going. Good wishes to you. xxxx
