    7% saline nebulizer- any help here?

    Thank you for this reply! I didn't even think of that because she is using her Pari and alternating with the ones that were clean (disposable) kind, and those ones suck! Thank you-I didn't realize the particle size made a difference, however, the rep pf Pari told me that it takes 5 minutes to...

    7% saline nebulizer- any help here?

    question: started my daughter on 7% saline via nebulizer, and she says her mouth, nose are "itchy" and "scratchy" and "hurt her" and are "dry" during the treatment, and right after. It goes away after she wipes her face, but She says she hates it. She trialed the 3% and didn't notice it at all...

    Anyone with single mutation w/CF symptoms?

    Swallowtail66, can you explain to me a bit more about allelles? I know each parent contributes one CFTR gene but do they also contribute variants? We have rampant autoimmune disease in our family. I have Grave's, my sister has SLE (Lupus) and my cousin has some unusual eye disease (going blind)...
