So my doctor has just switched me from Tobramycin, to TOBI. I had a mix up with my pharmacy on friday - they had decided to send me Tobramycin regardless of my prescription due to the fact that it would be easier for me to measure then the TOBI. Well I tried to straighten it out with them, and...

Hey guys! Well I'm finally home. I got discharged from the hospital this morning at 10am. It is soooo good to be back home. As soon as I got home today, I took a nice long shower sans PICC, I did my hair (I've been wearing bandana's for the past 2 weeks), and believe it or not, was feeling...

With a few people on here going off to the hospital, it made me start to think. I haven't been in hospital for a chest infection in about 10 years. For all you guys who go in on a regular basis, at what age did you start going in regularly, and what was it that made you decide that you needed...

So I'm having a hemoptysis episode right now. I'm not coughing up streaks, but rather like teaspoons. I've had hemoptysis in the past, but my question is, is should I be doing my TOBI with my episode? The reason I ask is because I've never had an episode while on inhaled meds, and I'm not...

Ok, so I'm a little green behind the ears when it comes to this subject but here goes. How do you know when you have arthritis, or even the onset of arthritis? The reason I ask, is because lately I've been getting joint pain in my ankles and wrists. The ankles started about a few months ago...

So I just got the Acapella Choice yesterday, and just had a question about cleaning it. I'm wondering what others do. My doctor told me that I could easily get away with cleaning it once a week in warm soapy water and then let air dry, or I could put it in the dishwasher. I don't have a...
