I wish I had a nebulizer since inhalers are hard to use when you are wheezing. I am starting to feel better, finally. Call your doctor and say you want one and don't take no for an answer unless they have a really excellent medical reason for telling you no. It helps SO much and it took getting into the appointment with the correct doc for the idea of a nebulizer to even come up. I never considered it, didn't know it would help so much. I see oncology, endocrinology, interventional pulmonology, and radiation oncology. It was the radiation oncologist's nurse practitioner who finally said, "You need a nebulizer." And then my other providers were like, "Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. Keep using it." I dunno what your inhaler makes you inhale but I use plain saline 3x day and albuterol 3x a day on my nebulizer. I do have an inhaler but only for inhaled steroids two puffs twice a day and the NP gave me a spacer to use with it so I get more meds where they need to go. After a week on this new regimen I feel loads better. The only thing I wish I had is some kind of hands-free mask and headgear to wear since I spend so much time with the nebulizer every day. I don't like gripping it with my teeth so long and I like having my hands free so I can keep working whilst nebulizing. Anyway. Pester the hell out of your docs. They may just not have thought about it.

They may just not have thought about it. compwalla They make a mask attachment for the nebulizer. Whoever provided your nebulizer should be able to get you one. If not, search "nebulizer mask adult" on Amazon. They are easily interchangeable with the tube you are probably using now.
donna Glad you are feeling better. I'm glad your friends came and decorated so you can enjoy the holidays. I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Hi Donna
I'm atheist so obviously I don't pray, but I'm sorry you're having trouble, and I hope it clears up quickly. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a good update.
Hugs

Donna praying. Thank you for being on top of your health and being willing to do the hard stuff like going to the hospital if you need to. Compwalla gave you excellent advice. Ask for the nebulizer.
I'm glad you had such a good time with your friends and your home looks Christmas cheery.
