I saw a lung doctor yesterday, was tested at 30% lung capacity.
He wants me to try some Inhaler and a Nebulizer? or something like that.
My lungs don't work because of lack of muscle, not mucus stuff.
Do you think anything like that ill help?
Anyone else try those things?
Greg
Those are intended to open up your lungs, to give them easier flow and
greater capacity. That way less muscle power is needed to breathe. God
bless you, Greg.

I don't think they'll do it where you're at, but here we have a program
called lung expansion protocol program. Basically they take the portable
ventilator units and issue them to high-level quadriplegics like myself.
Every day I spend 20 to 25 minutes lying in my bed doing lung extension
I use those inhailers, such as pro-air from time to time...I need them in
summer on days the air quality is bad and I get feeling overheated...also at
times in the winter if I get asmetic bronchitis type of respitory problems. Dan

every time I enter the hospital they give me a plastic device that you blow
into and try to get it to a higher number like 25 times. those have to help
somewhat. whats starting to concern me is whats the real risk potential of a
blood clot?

yes I think it's Propantheline I take. Why?
Thanks
Greg, being in the hospital is like jail
My lungs are around the same. I use Advair every 12 hours. It has been proven
to increase lung capacity. Kinda expensive though.

Lung medicine does not replace lung therapy. Lung therapy can reduce or
eliminate the need for lung medicine. Some meds are designed for short
term therapy and other meds are for long term/ continuous use. Ask your
doctor or respiratory therapist about long term use and addiction to the

2-3 breathing treatment each night and morning.. It helps the mucus, and I am
able to get it and Breezemore comfortably. I have a Trach button so sometimes
that causes mucous. I seem to get congested every time I go outside. I must
always have a suction machine with me.Dana
