I guess I'll share my routine so here it goes.....
Tues-Fri I get up at 6:00am if Im on Tobi, 6:30 when Im off of tobi, so I get up go pee like many of us probably do then I go to the kitchen where ALL my meds are.
First I take a puff of combivent and after that then I pour some water out of my tea kettle and pour into my nasal bottle, then stick that into the microwave for about 20 sec to make it a little warm, I tend to gag when its cold, anywho once that is done then I take my last puff of combivent.
Then I open up the nasal package and pour into the nasal bottle then seal it with the funny looking lid, after thats all done I go to the sink and squirt it up nose at equal amounts on both sides until the water is out. I rinse it out (bottle) wash the lid with soap then put it back in its place.
Next is my advair I take a puff of that then get some water to rinse my mouth out so I dont get thrush ewww.
After that comes the flonase 2 squirts in each nostril then I squirt Astelin in each side 2 times.
Then I grab 2 or 3 neb cups labeled by what goes in it, and depending if Im Tobi then Ill grab 3 neb cups, if not then 2. I put pulmozine in one and hypertonic saline in the other.
Head on to the bedroom and start pulmozine up after 10 min I switch to HS for 15 min then I put the vest on for 20min with 4 different settings: 10-5min, 12-5 min, 14-5 min and 16 -5 min and the pressure is set to 7.
After the vest I start tobi when Im on it.
When I finish my treatments Ill get up and eat breakfast then get ready for work, sometimes I fall back to sleep instead which makes me about 5 min late for work but no big deal, Im working on getting better at it. So anywho it take 15 min to get to work and I work from 8 to 5 and when I get home I dont start my evening treatments until about 11, I know kind of late but Im working on that, Im going to try and get in the habit of doing them right when I get home from work.
The only difference with my evening routine is I dont do pulmozym and on flonase its 1 squirt on each side other than those two every thing else is the same.
I forgot I take bactrim 3x a day. at 9:00 in the morning I take one bactrim then my vit. E(400i.e) then 2 multi vit. then at 3:00pm I take my second pill of bactrim and at 9pm I take the last pill for bactrim.
On the weekends which is partly sat, cause I go in at 8 pm on Saturday nitghts but still consider it part of the weekend cause I get to sleep in. Anywho I sometimes dont start my treatments until almost 1-3 in the afternoon but then I stay up late on the weekends so I do my evening treatments late also. I did tell my mom I will try and do my treatments at the same time so Ive been doing good the last 3 days at doing them at the same time, so I had been getting up at 7 in the morning to start my treatments and then go back to sleep. I was off this whole week so I done good Thurs and Fri with getting up at 7 oh sat I got up at 7 too. I was bad at taking my vit though I did however take them this morning, <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
I very rarely take my vit on the weekends which is bad on my part.
That was my routine not too bad.
I forgot to mention that I do get some exercise in sometimes with the eliptical machine or hubby and I go to the park and walk. Not all the time . I also take Creon 20 7 with meals and 3 w/snacks.
