I am new to this so please forgive "the subject". Maybe I should start from the beginning. I am a 37yr old female dx at 14 with mild CF. Well, now it is pretty bad although denial is my middle name. I can't tolerate Tobi so I pretty much do Albuterol, Pulmozyme, and HTSS once a day. I am always throwing up after I do the HTSS sometimes a few hours later. The vomit is mostly mucus mixed with food...very gross. Then I can hear the rails in my lungs. I know this is depressing. Does this happen to everyone? Can others tell me their experiences? I cant tolerate TOBI...at all.

I cant do Tobi either. One reason is because I would cough so bad that it would induce vomitting. Same goes with HS. I do HS only when I need extra help with clearance. Do u spit out or swallow ur mucus? If you swallow, ur stomach cannot digest mucus, so it will come out another way...vomitting. So spit out ur mucus...tissue, sink, ground, toliet, cup...just get it out. If you are having nasal drainage, same thing will happen...cant digest & will get out another way. I have a bigger issue with vomitting when I have a sinus infection because of all the drainage.
I do hear rattles in my chest...but not all the time. That usually means I some mucus in there that needs to get out. If you have an accapella or flutter, do that for a few minutes to try to get it out or do huffing exercises to get it out. It never hurts to do regular saline (not HS) neb treatments just to add some mosture (sp?) to your secretions. Also, drink, drink, drink (I'm guilty of not drinking enought)...drinking more will thin the secretions out.
Welcome to the site! Hope you stick around and get to know us. It's nice to have a place to go where ppl understand CF and you realize you are not alone in what you are feeling or going through...that's what the site has done for me.

Blindhearted, Ok, again I think this may sound like a stupid question but---where exactely is this mucus coming from? Is it in my stomach? I can't imagine that because I spit it out. I imagine that the food is in my stomach and the mucus is in my lungs and somehow they merge. Crazy huh? All I know if it all comes up together. thanks for the reply<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

First let me welcome you to the site <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
I am going to guess if this is happening mostly in the morning it is from mucus you swallowed in your sleep. I have had quite a few instances where i would cough a lot in the morning to the point of throwing up and since i havent eaten all night expect nothing but dry heaves, but out comes mucus.
