rkak Posted May 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2016 My DH and I are flying cross country. He usually uses his nebulizer every 4 hours. He can put it off some with his wiffer, but not for 7.5 hours. Does anyone have any recent experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaBear55 Posted May 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Does he have a battery operated one? I am looking at buying one so I can go and do my nebs in the bathroom. I know it would tie up the bathroom for a while but I think it would be better than my imitation of Darth Vader coughing and wheezing in the main part of the cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkak Posted May 22, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted May 22, 2016 My husband will have a portable in our carry-on and his regular in his suitcase. Very convenient. He can even do it in the car "while I'm driving". We live in Tampa, FL and usually cruise out of a FL port so this hasn't come up before about suspicious airline passengers worrying about everything!.

MommaBear55 Posted May 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I carry my machine on a backpack. TSA has asked me about it but never made me take it out. Also, the meds don't count as part if your one quart bag of under 3 ounce liquids. I see the paleontologist tomorrow and will ask him about the battery operated ones.

You're seeing a dinosaur specialist about your nebulizer? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pulmonologist. Autocorrect still tried to override me. And "autocorrect" came up as skyrocket once and incorrect the other time. Wish Kindle had a better word program.

You would not know I am using it even if you sat right next to me :) It is that quiet! Reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you it is such a relief to have one. Thankful I do not need it all the time yet, but when I do it is a comfort knowing I have it. Had a bad exacerbation when I hit Florida a few years ago, scared the you know what out of me:( Actually waited until I got on the ship to see a doctor:rolleyes: Had a few up drafts and felt much better but I also learned that my own Neb would have helped me . I do not travel without my little Gem any more:) Reader Edited May 28, 2016 by Reader0108598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaping is very quiet, and so is using this nebulizer. Regards Reader Edited May 29, 2016 by Reader0108598 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkak Posted June 11, 2016 Author #19 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm able to answer my own question now.
