<span style=" font-size: x-small;">Hi Tom my name is Khristina. I
took Tobi for about three years and have quit it since. I had all
kinds of different problems from it. I would feel tight from it
right away which caused me to cough hard for a while after the
treatment. I have prob with hemoptysis and the Tobi made it worse.
So you aren't the only one that has probs with it.<br>

I also have stopped Tobi, haven't done it in three years now, it was contributing to my hemoptysis problem.

I have taken Tobi for many, many years. Basically since it came out on the market. In the past few years, specially the past two, I have noticed my tolerence to Tobi has gotten worse. My throat gets sore and horse. Lately my lungs seem tight and its harder to breathe. I even do albuterol everytime with Tobi and it still doesnt seem like I am getting relief. I actually believe its making my lungs worse. Its making everyday life a little harder feeling tight in my chest like this. So you are not the only one. I am actually thinking about calling my CF Doctor about it what it is doing. What do you guys think? Call now (since I'm on it) or wait until I go to clinic in Dec?
