TOBI- before or after PT?

I'm starting one month on, one month off for the first time today. It's been a while since I've done TOBI and I can't remember whether it's better to do it right before PT or right after.

Thanks! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

After. What I usually do is do pulmozyne first then wait about 20 minutes for it to kick in. Then I do PT and then after that when all the mucous is thin and loose I do my Tobi so it gets deep down!! Hope that helps! <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

I was told not to PT right after TOBI because you don't want to cough the TOBI up. As expensive as that stuff is, you don't want to waste it by coughing it up!

I was told ( and do) to Tobi after PT. So i do Pulmozyme while i'm doing the vest then when vest is done i do Tobi.

That's a good point that you don't want to cough it all up...it's like liquid gold! I figured after pt, thanks everyone! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
