Sick of Crackling Noise

jamie6girl · Dec 5, 2007

Hey Everyone 

I've had this crackly noise in my chest / throat for like a year now. I am so sick of it! It seems like it's never going to go away. The only time it went away was when I was on my IV and a couple of weeks after. But now it's back and won't let up! I do my vest and I am doing my HS religiously. I am also on Zithromax, Mucinex, and I'm not sure what else to do. I hope when I go on allergy shots, they will go away.

 

What does everyone else to do get rid of this? What is also very frustrating is that my labs came back with good results last time and I didn't culture a lot of the bad stuff that I have been. So what gives? 

Help! I sound like a Fireplace! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> 

EDIT: I'm also on Pulmozyme.. and on my "off" month of Tobi.

The only thing I can think of is it is just mucus in there. I crackle ALL THE TIME. I know what you mean about sounding like a fireplace. No matter how much CPT, HTS or coughing up of junk I do I always crackle. It drives me bonkers but I have learned to accept it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You're not crackling, you're purring like a kitten! Just kidding. The noise can be irritating, especially when you're aware of your breath sounds as you fall asleep. I'm surprised that nothing has helped. Do you have an asthma component to your CF? That's usually what makes me crackle. At your next appointment you might want to ask your doctor about Advair HFA or Xoponex HFA. Those are "puffers" (inhalers).
