Will your car be by the campsite?

It's not out of the question to bring a real nebulizer with an inverter, assuming you're doing car camping rather than backpacking. I've done it plenty of times, with an inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter outlet and gets my Pari running. As a bonus, you end up doing the treatment in the car, which is nice because it's comfy, cleaner than a tent, and at least somewhat private and less likely to draw attention.

One bit of advice: A cigarette lighter can only power a small nebulizer; if you want to run something bigger like a vest or IPV you'll need to have the inverter professionally installed, and hooked right up to the car's electrical system.

When I switched CF Clinics the new one couldn't believe I wasn't boiling the water I use to clean my nebs. They said most city water has psuedomonas in it. I was so mad the other clinic never told me, because I'm always fighting psuedomonas. It's easier to just boil them at the end of the day. They said to sterilize it, and a friend suggested to use these bags that she used to sterilize her breast pump parts. https://www.amazon.com/Medela-Quick-Clean-Micro-Steam-Packs/dp/B00S0U5X18/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1496715598&sr=8-1&keywords=medela+steam+bags I might try them to save me a few minutes. I'm always waiting for the nebs to boil before I can go to bed!

That's the one I was talking about. It has 560 calories in one can. They're really good at helping you put on weight. And they don't taste bad. They're really good if you make a smoothie or milkshake with them.

u/ELO628 · 1 pointr/CysticFibrosis

Yeah that would probably work pretty well. Alternatively I’ve seen people use these collapsible teapots for boiling their items on the go.

If I may make a suggestion. This is significantly cheaper and 1,000 times more effective than any nasal spray I know of. Ask anyone on your CF team or any ENT doctor or allergist. They will agree.

http://www.amazon.com/SinuCleanse-Nasal-System-Plastic-Packets/dp/B000TFR6MG/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457895347&sr=1-2&keywords=neti+pot

I've been using it whenever my sinuses get bad and it works wonders. Just be sure to use water that was bowled and then cooled down. Mix one packet of the salt/banking soda into the water, stir, and pour it in gently letting it run out the other nostril. There are countless youtube videos showing how well it works and how to do it.

This filter has been great for my 8 month old daughter with CF. Here are a few tips though:

  • They say the filter lasts a year, they don't. If you're using acetylcysteine or changing diapers near it, it'll last 3 months. When they go bad you'll notice a funky wet dog smell coming from it. That's $10 every 3 months.

  • Buy bulk carbon pre-filters and swap them out every month. You'll see a noticeable difference in air quality by doing this step. I buy these, cut them to twice the size of the filter, fold them in half, and attach them to the filter. Way better bang for buck thus way. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000U204W2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_R4RSBbD51NZ2R

  • Consumer Reports noted that the only time these clean the air is when they're set to high and on 24/7. According to CR, this set doesn't have a lot of horsepower. The most it can clean is a small room.

  • You should also count on spending more on your electricity bill. On this unit I spend an extra $10ish per month since it's on 24/7.

    All in, you're looking at $180-200 a year to run an air filter this size. More if you get a larger unit with a more expensive filter.

Wabi Baby Electric Steam Sterilizer and Dryer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CTK7X15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bFb3BbKRXGXKV

This is what we use. All the parts fit great and it even has a dryer, so you can dry them before you sterilize them.

u/Dutchy8210 · 1 pointr/CysticFibrosis

I bought this about 6 months ago, and its been awesome. Finally got sick of stacking all those pillows.

I also do some vicks vapor rub every night, which seems to help me breath better.

Its on Amazon...u can take them individually out and its magnetic!

u/dont_judge_me_monkey · 1 pointr/CysticFibrosis

Are you taking about the pitchers that you put into the fridge? All they do is filter out impurities. I have brita which I'm pretty sure is just a carbon based filter. Just Google zero vs brita to see what each filters out

Get a temp/hygrometer, it'll tell you humidity. Basements are notoriously humid. A dehumidifier can easily fix that. You want it at about 35-40%. Since you recently had it finished it could also be the fresh paint and carpet. You can get a decent air purifier for about $100. Here's what I use after I researched alot: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000050AQ5/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you all love the article, check out his book, Can't Eat, Can't Breathe, and Other Ways Cystic Fibrosis has Fucked Me. It's hilarious and a refreshing read about what it's like to live with CF.

u/ladymysla · 1 pointr/CysticFibrosis

When I was younger I read

Give me one wish

Stevie's Secret

and Mallory's 65 roses

The second two are kind of geared toward the younger crowd, but the first one was absolutely brutal. Definitely eye opening for someone who had super mild CF.

u/axlecrusher · 1 pointr/CysticFibrosis

I have been using this one for several years if I'm doing yard work or dusty house maintenance. It seems ok I guess. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013SIIBME
