Is it okay to use a nebuliser?

I like to use my nebuliser when I'm at home to treat my asthma because I feel it works a lot better. Everyone tells me that it is no better, if anything it's worse, than an inhaler with a spacer. Is it still okay to use my nebuliser? I would much prefer it!

I know a lot of people that prefer and use a nebulizer over an inhaler.  I prefer the nebulizer.  My doctor has me using the neb more than an inhaler.  I am to use my inhaler only when I absolutely cannot use my neb or for very minor issues.

Personally, I find it is MUCH more effective.  The nebulizer produces a much finer mist than what comes out of an inhaler enabling it to get deeper into the lungs.  I know of some people that have purchased small, purse sized nebs to use instead of using an inhaler at all.  

You should discus this with your doctor, but I say use the neb if that is what makes you more comfortable.
Take care and God bless.

Whatever gives you the most relief.  Some people prefer an inhaler, but some people cant "time" it just right, so the meds just end up in the back of their throat.  If you get more relief from a nebulizer that is jsut fine.  Make sure you wash it regularly and take the cup apart and wash it, the let it air dry before putting it back together, you can use vinegar and water to cut the bacteria.  most of the time, people use disposable nebulizer setups, these are to be use for two weeks and then thrown away and then use the back up set up for the next two weeks, going thru 2 setups per month, this should keep down bacteria in the nebulizer cup itself.
