Thats a shame about tobi. Have you ever mentioned inhaling fortaz to your Dr? Or did you even know you could? O used to inhale that a few years back and it seemed pretty effective at the time. You have to mix it up yourself like the old days with tobramycin ( before tobi came out). Maybe you might have better success with that one? To be perfectly honest i dont like inhaling <b>anything</b>, because most things can be irritating. Collistin was the worst for me. I dont use the Pari because it made me feel like i was suffocating ( i cant figure it out either) i have nbeen using the Side Stream for the Pulmozyme and the acorn for the Tobi . Have you ever used these? Could you maybe handle them better ? I wish i had more ideas for you ....
Have you been exercising?

You mention that you feel like you are suffocating. Is that while you are inhaling or something that persists all day. With me, I would get a little tight while inhaling the nebs, but it would get worse throughout the rest of the day, to the point where it was hard to walk.

I have not tried tobi w/ the sidestream or the acorn. From what I understand you get less medecine in your lungs from the sidestream. That may be why you don't feel the same effect. It might be worth asking my RT about though.

I used the Acorn II in the hospital. What kind of compressor do you hook the acorn II nebulizer up to?


I have not tried inhaling fortaz.

Yes, I started exercising lightly on my rowing machine about a week ago.

Only while i would be inhaling the medicine thru the Pari did i feel like i was suffocating. I actually went as far as to rip off that little blue flap from the mouth piece so i felt like i was getting air while i inhaled. It did make it a bit easier on me. Are you using albuterol before inhaling your other meds?
I do know that the sidestream "wastes" some of the medicine, but it's better to get most of the medicine in than none in my eyes. I have the devilbiss Pulmo-aide compressor.
Im glad you are back to lightly exercising. Keep up the good work !!
