How many of you take your HTS in your E-flow?

I know studies have not been done on anything but Tobi for the e-flow, but I have been told that others use their e-flow to administer their other meds too.

So, I've been using mine for all my meds (rinsing in between, especially after hts, just like I did with my pari).
I found that the HTS is soooooo much stronger, almost intolerable, but I use it anyway; and I can can cough up junk just from ONE inhale. It's incredible!

I then switched back to my old compressor/pari for my HTS and it felt like I was getting no production at all in comparison.

Any one else experience this? Do you use your HTS in your E-flow?

Okay well I cannot for the life of me get Amy's blog to load, but I believe there are studies with more than just Tobi. I remember hearing that before, because it's a common misconception. Check her blog if you can open it.

Meanwhile, yes. I use it for Colistin, Pulmozyme, and HTS. And yes, I only use 3% HTS, but every single inhalation with the eFlow is like a punch to my lungs. Haha. Very useful.

Thanks for your imput Em.
Have you always been on 3% or did you switch?
I'm on 7%. I asked for 3% for this reason, but they stated I shouldn't be using hts in it.
(which is why I tried switching back to the compressor), but after experiencing both, I like the e-flow better. So I'll just "deal with it" and let my lungs be punched with every breath. <img src="i/expressions/coughing.gif" border="0">

It looks as though Amy removed her two posts under the title E-flow.
