    I'm finally stable!

    Fred, the thingimajig that clips onto your finger is a pulse oximeter. The docs have fancy ones but you can buy a small portable one online, commonly used by pilots, and use it while exercising to see if your sats drop.

    Gargling w/ Salt

    Thanks Risa, your explanation helps. Hairgirl (Roshelle?), if you tilt your head back and 'block' off your throat it wont go down your throat. (like the way one blocks off when doing a pretend-flu impersonation, or saying the letter 'g') But then I guess it doesn't matter which way it comes out...

    Gargling w/ Salt

    Well I have a few questions about this process, like is 'irrigation' just snorting salt water up your nostrils and blowing it out? I have read your description and I get the tilting head part but the rest is a mystery...How many ml do you use in total, and once the saline is up there what do you...

    A ?? to all HT Saline Addicts

    I know many of you are hypertonic saline fans, so I am asking: How long <b>after </b>nebbing does the gunk come up or do you have to make an effort to cough? How much to use: if 3ml is good, is 5ml or 7 ml better, other than taking forever? Do any of you get sinuses clearing a few hours after...
