COPD and nebulisers: How often do you use them?

Hello everyone,

How are you doing? 😊

For many people with COPD, nebulisers play a key role in managing symptoms, especially during flare-ups. Nebulisers can help deliver medication directly to the lungs, making it easier to breathe when your symptoms are particularly severe. However, how often each person uses their nebuliser can vary widely depending on the severity of their condition and their doctor's recommendations.

Do you use a nebuliser regularly, or just during flare-ups? Have you noticed any differences in how often you need it at different times of the year, or when your symptoms are worse?  

Also, what kind of medication do you use with your nebuliser, and how effective do you find it compared to inhalers?
