    My PFT's are down... any advice?

    it is a vicious cycle. The pleurisy is really hard to manage, it takes forever to go away. It had gone away after a long time, but now (two months after my iv course ended) my chest is hurting really badly today. That makes cpt, impossible, and right now it even makes the vest impossible...

    I am sure this question has been asked before

    I find it's helpful when you're dry and trying to bring stuff up. But if you are already having a productive cough, sometimes it can make you cough too much and prevent sleeping.

    got my vest

    oh yeah and a doc told me i should use advair last so it can work better, after I've opened up my airways and cleared them out some. Not sure how true this is. It was a resident who told me that.

    My PFT's are down... any advice?

    Ok. I started using Vit C and I started myself on some prednisone I had laying around. At least until I know I can talk to my doctor. I wish I could be on Tobi, but I have some kind of bad reaction to it, it irritates my throat and I get these coughing exacerbations, til my chest starts...

    got my vest

    I strap on my vest, and then I do my breathing treatments in this order: DuoNeb (albuterol and atrovent), pulmozyme, then my hypertonic saline, all while doing the vest.
