    Pari neb compressor

    Hi Autumn, I used to have a Pulmo-Aid when I was a baby, and it lasted until I was 21. Actually, it was still running just fine when I replaced it, but I wanted a smaller, newer compressor because it was quite big and ugly. Since then, I have gone through other Devilbiss, Philips, and Pari...

    neb machine

    Thanks guys, I'll contact Pari tomorrow and see if I can get a new one. I had no idea this was a common problem.

    neb machine

    Hello, I have gone through 2 neb machines and I've encountered the same problem with both. I start off my treatments with HTS. So I plug in the Pari LC Plus to the neb machine and NOTHING comes out. It makes a weak noise, but no'misting'. But if I leave it plugged in for about 5 minutes, it...

    What Medications do you have to stop during Pregnancy????

    I was able to stay on all of my medications during pregnancy. I heavily rely on my maintenance antibiotics (Cayston, tobra, colistin) to stay healthy, so I was not willing to come off them during my pregnancy. The pregnancy risk category for antibiotics is typically a D (I believe), but that...

    OK to take nebulizer to work at accounting office?

    Do you have a break room you could use? Sometimes that's a good place if you neb when it's not too crowded. I know this is probably not the cleanest place to do a neb, but I used to go into the employee restroom to do my afternoon Cayston neb. I would just take a small lunch box bag to work...

    First CF Hemoptysis

    Hi Stacia, I had my first episode of hemoptysis last winter. It was so scary! The odd thing is that it started while I was at work, while I was just sitting there at my computer (not even coughing), and then the bleed started. I was actually feeling really good at the time and had just...

    Daughters Throat Swab POSITIVE for first time ever :(

    Hello- I have cultured this once, but they didn't do anything about it. Pseudo is still my main issue. I believe I've had several steno-free cultures since. It can cause some problems in some people, but I think usually it's not a big deal.

    Cayston users

    Hi Vasiliki - I alternate Tobra with Cayston each month. I really like both antibiotics and they work really well for me. Cayston causes me to cough a bit more (I believe it's one of the side effects), but it's more like a dry, nagging cough. Other than that, I feel really good on it.

    Question about vest fitting

    I first had the original black vest and then got one of the new washable ones last year. I hate the blue one! I do not feel that it fits as good and is much looser. Even when I put the pressure up it doesn't fit tight enough. And the other thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't...

    Pulmozyme with Pari LC?

    That's very interesting that some of us use the Pari while others use the Sidestream. Christine-that's funny that you mentioned that about the harshness on the throat because I have been losing my voice ever since switching to the Pari. Interesting. I guess it should be ok in the Pari until I...

    Pulmozyme with Pari LC?

    Hi everyone, I lost one of the pieces to my Sidestream. Does anyone know if it's ok to use Pulmozyme in the Pari LC plus? I'm going to clinic next week and they usually give me new neb cups, so I just need a temporary solution until then. Thanks!
