Thanks for all of your responses!
<br />
<br />The treatment is really quick; took me 2 minutes. Takes longer to sterilize than it does to do the treatment, which is kind of a pain. Also took time to pack up the Altera, get meds, etc to bring w/ me to work...I'm hoping to do my mid-day treatment in the car during my lunch break. I remember my nurse saying if I don't have time to sterilize just make sure to rinse the head thoroughly w/ water, so that's my plan for now. Is it best to let it sit in water/alcohol, or does it matter? either way, I will be sure to sterilize when I get home.
<br />
<br />I've also been feeling really nauseous since starting Cayston last night. I didn't see nausea as a side effect (although abdominal pain is a side effect), so hopefully it's not related to the Cayston...I may be back on TOBI in 2 months lol

I think I'm going to get my first Rx of Cayston for next week. I'm definitely nervous about fitting in the afternoon treatment because I work all day. How long does it generally take to nebulize? I read a couple of you say it just takes 2 minutes - has it ever taken longer than that? I know with my tobramycin (eFlow), it can vary greatly between 3 minutes and 30 minutes depending on the quality of the head.

i didn't read all the responses cause i'm lazy today. but as far as your aerosol head is concerned what you could do is take a little tupperwear container of alcohol. that's what i soak mine in. the tupperwear container i use is the smallest one they have. just put enough alcohol in it for your head and that way your head is taken care of and you dont have to worry about it. and if you have a center console that's where you could put the container so that it doesn't spill.

Leah,

Mine usually takes 2 minutes, maybe 3 minutes max to neb. It took closer to 3 minutes towards the end of my 28 days, I think b/c 1 of the heads was starting to clog, but nothing like 30 minutes. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> just be sure to rinse the head immediately after each use and it shouldn't ever take more than 2-3 minutes.

Let me know what you think of it...my doc is making me try it again (today is my first day of 2nd month on it, and I'm none too thrilled). I'll prob switch back to TOBI, unless I feel just absolutely amazing this round, which I highly doubt...haha
