well I did my first saline treatment today- WOW!! did that make me cough like a maniac, but I felt good after. My only complaint is that it really bothered my throat- does anyone know what I should do to maybe make it a little less annoying? like maybe suck on a candy or something?

I was thinkin of tryin the hypertonic saline, but man another 40+ bucks PER MONTH for salt water? I'd like to try it, but I already feel great, and don't want to shell out another 50 bucks a month for another supplement.

re saline and coughing/irritation: try mixing the h.saline with some albuterol aq.

re availability: yes you need a prescription, and the trials are over, your doctor needs to get with the program.

Im on 7%. I think it works great so far, but I don't like the aggrevation in my throat, but I guess its worth it.

Debbie- thanks- my dad (who has passed away) always used to call me AmyKins so I like it =)
