F/U Poll for CFers Who Work Full Time

[ashleydog]

I am glad I am not the only one smoking nebs in the car <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I am using the pari sprint right now, which is what I use at home too. I used to have the aeroneb which was even more portable since it was silent, and I could use it in my cube at work and noone would know. I don't use pulmozyme, but I have never had an issue with even the thickest stuff I use ( like fortaz).

on another note, my son ( who is 21 months old) has started trying to "help" me with my nebs. If I leave the nebulizer out where he can get it to me, he will bring the whole thing over, demand that I put it in my mouth and then turn it on. He has never tried to get anyone else to use it he somehow knows it is just for me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

1) From alarm to out the door in the AM is 1.5 hours. Before my CF DX that was about 40 minutes. I do Xopenex after shower, multitask while blow drying hair, doing makeup etc. Then I dress. Head downstairs. Do HTS nebs and check e-mail & take care of work stuff on the laptop. I'll do Pulmozyme nebs and then head to work. I do my acapella and huffing in the car usually. Sometimes I do nebs in the car enroute if I've got to get in earlier.

2) Before CF & MAC, I'd get 4 or 5 hours of sleep 4 nights a week and 6 or 7 the rest. I'd pull an all-nighter about once or twice a month (right before major work deadlines). I had plenty of energy and my brain functioned just fine (I'm an engineer and need to be really on top of things). That schedule was fine until I hit 40. Then my lungs started having issues with that schedule. Somewhere along the way amidst a string of lung crud flare-ups which my usual ABX didn't treat, I got a nasty MAC infection and things tanked quickly. That lead to my subsequent CF DX. Now for sleep, I shoot for an absolute minimum of 6.5 hours, but only let myself do that once a week, I try for 7 or 8 the rest of the week. NO MORE all-nighters. No matter who the customer is or what the repercussions are if the project is done late.

Sleep is over rated I guess (ok, not really, I do like it). I often get about 3 1/2- 4 hours of sleep, but sometimes I just need to go back to sleep for a couple hours more. On a rare occasion, I will get about 7 hours of sleep (on some saturday nights. My treatment reg varies lately because I am so busy, but when I'm on schedule, I do all my treatments once a day, and carry my combi for the rest of the day. If I don't feel well, then I do my duoneb twice a day, all I have time for.
