Bedroom air quality help....

Hello, I've been having trouble sleeping in my bedroom. It's been going on for months. I end up going upstairs to sleep, but after hours of coughing I just end up coming back downstairs to sleep on the couch. Mainly because I don't like keeping Katy up all night while I'm coughing, but also because I seem to breathe better in a more open space.

I spent the entire morning and afternoon sanatizing my room. For all you really anal people out there, you'll know how long it actually takes to properly clean a room. After ensuring that every spec of dust was eliminated, the carpet cleaned well and all little nic-nack things put away... I left it as bare as possible. The room is as good as it'll get. I've been thinking about purchasing an air purifying system for the bedroom, but I'm unsure what would work best for me. For tonight, my parents brought over the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze filter for me to borrow. If it works well, I would like to pick one up for myself. I also know that certain Hepa Air filters work well.

Could anyone out there provide some info that may help? Is there anyone out there that requires the use of an air cleanser? If so... what do you use?

THANKS!!!!

Mike,
Avoid the Ionic Breeze as it gives off Ozone which is bad for us. Do a google or even search this forum for past posts, you will find a lot of bad rap on the Ionic Breeze.

Hi Mike,

I used to be sick with post nasal drip, cough, bronchitis and every other thing all the time.... When I was first dx with Cf age 29 one of the pulmonologist from Columbia in the city told me about a air cleaning system he uses for his daughter that has CF......

It is a Honeywell Air purifer with a Hepa filter.. It has two filters actually.. The first layer is a charcoal filter that gets changed about every three months and the Hepa filter which is about every 9 months.. IT has a gauge on it that tells you which one needs to be changed and when.

I swear by mine.. I know without a doubt that mine has prevented me from getting sicker then I am... I would for sure go with a Hepa filter without a doubt...

I know what you mean about being an anal cleaner... when I clean I am the same way... Every vent, corner, bed rail, light shade and piece of fabric is scrubbed.. and I still obsess over it....

Let us know what you decide..

Jennifer

I notice I sleep more soundly...might be the white noise the machine makes though. I have a Holmes or a Honeywell..not sure.

Well, I admit I love my ionic breeze. I hadn't heard that stuff about ozone-and I will research it now that I have.
Until then, I will say that I can tell the difference when I don't have it on and when I do-when I don't I cough more in the night. I've used one for 4 years. I'm open minded enough to research it, though I have heard a downside conspiracy story to just about everything in life-including drinking 8 glasses of water a day. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> j/k for all you ionic breeze haters!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
