Just started HTS

I just started HTS and don't know what to expect. I'm a little wheezy, it did make me cough but not a ton. I'm thinking this will be more effective in the a.m.

In what order do I do HTS, albuterol & Pulmozyme?

Also, they didn't send any new device for me to use. Do I use the Pari LC PLUS (that I use for Pulmozyme)? What is that other thing called that people use, I can't think of the name? Should I get one of those?

Thanks,
Kelli

hey kelli, what percent HTS are you doing? i do 7% twice a day and more if i'm sick. the order i do my drugs in that seems to work well (and the doc said this was good) is albuterol and then HTS while i do my vest then pulmozyme. you can do HTS in the pari but i would use another neb cup because the salt crystals tend to clog up the nebs pretty easily and this might affect the pulmozyme-i'm not sure about this but i'm just guessing....i usually wash out my HTS neb cups after each use-my sterilizing technique is not good so don't do exactly what i do <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> but sometimes the salt does build up in mine and clog it up so i wash it with really hot soapy water.
i think the other device you're thinking of is the eflow nebulizer maybe? i have one too but i can't stand to do HTS in it, but thats just my personal preference. there are a lot of people here that use it and love it. hope this helps

Hey Kelli , glad that you started HS !!! I hope that you cough up a lot of stuff and it makes you feel better. A lot of folks complain about the wheeziness and how tight it makes you, and it was the same for me in the beginning. It was very hard for me when I started it. I'm on 7%. Honestly, it took me a LONG time to get to where I didn't hate it. I love doing it now. Please be patient and stick with it. It took about a year for me to gradually build up to where I could breathe 10+ ML of it a day. Now, I can probably sometimes do more than that. You just have to get past the crappiness of it to get tot he goodness. You will cough up a lot of stuff, and then you will find that nothing else makes you cough the stuff up like HS. Good luck with it! <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
