well thats another unsuccessful doctors visit over, tried to get a nebuliser for steam/saline inhalation only to be told no! as he did'nt reckon they were any good except for inhaled antibiotics, despite me pointing out that whilst using the shower prompted loosening of gunk, perhaps I need to spend my life in a shower cubicle? losing faith in the NHS

    Hi David. U need to see another gp. U need to find out whether u find it useful never mind the gp. U need to try everything u can to find what works for u. Do u have another gp in the practice or consider changing gps entirely. U could also ask for referral to a specialist. I know u dont need this problem but it isnt  u that initiated this, and there is a complaint procedure which u need to go along.

    For those interested there is an Amazon deal, available for a very limited time, right now, for a nebuliser at £39.99. There are good reviews.
