I agree, hypertonic saline is awesome. In my opinion, it works BETTER than pulmo and the vest, combined. I never coughed up junk with pulmo and the vest, but I sure get a ton out with the h/s !

If you aren't on it, I would consider it, no matter what bugs you have or don't have. It can irritate the throat sometimes, but I can deal with it, since it's meant less hospitalizations for me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

ya, fortaze is an I.V. A/b. maybe that's the one you get when you have a tune-up?? Or, maybe your moron p.t. is mistaking it for zithromax, and oral a/b??? Good thing you are checking into this, bring it to your doctor's attention!

Thanks for all of the good input! I appreciate it. And after reading your posts (fortaz being ceftaz....) I am ALLERGIC to Ceftaz. Hello?! Wouldn't you think they would double check things. I have no confidence in this PT chick. She is awful. She left a message on my machine that I need to do Pulmo. Rehab and with that is classroom lessons to "break some of my bad habits." Bad habits, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. I work part time, work out 3 to 4 times per week, take excellent care of myself, etc. I was ticked she could even say that. I talked to the social worker (I feel like all I do is complain) about it but this PT is part of the 'team' so I'm pretty much stuck. I can't stand this PT girl. Ugh. I hate going when I have to see her, it's that BAD.
Thanks again everyone, I appreciate your help with this!
