Philips Nebuliser and COPD : Ken's story
Over the years I have struggled with constant chest infections, but for some reason, I could not get rid of them. Last year we got a new family doctor, who had me on antibiotics, and looked back on my notes, he realised that I was getting the same sputum test results back each time.
This was a pneumonia influenza bug, which would not go away no matter what they threw at it. The doctor said that this bug was obviously deep inside the lungs, in a place where the antibiotics could not reach. I explained that I had been in hospital with Pneumonia in 2001, and we wondered if all these infections were caused by something that had never cleared
I also spoke about the wheezing and the distressing cough, which started as soon as I got up each day.
The volume of mucus coming up each day was quite frightening and hurt quite a lot because I had cracked a rib, by coughing so much. In the end we discussed a nebuliser, in the hope that it would remove anything which was stuck deep inside the lungs.
We were given the medication to use with the nebuliser, but the medical practice said that we could only borrow a portable machine for two weeks, and would need to buy our own machine, I had used one of these in hospital, but in all honesty neither my wife or I knew anything about them apart from that. We took the machine home, and the next day we asked I the local chemists about where we could buy something like this. The chemists shop did buy them in but suggested that we looked on line.
After searching the web we came to Evergreen Nebulisers, which was based in Wigan. My wife then rang up and spoke to one of the sales people, who were very supportive and helpful. The following week wife rang back to order out own machine, and it was delivered within 24 hours.
After using this nebulisers or 10 days I realised that I could breathe properly and was not coughing as much as I had been. I have now stopped using the machine for a while, because I have now got rid of most of the mucus and no longer sound like a pair of bagpipes with holes in the wrong place.
I confess that I am truly amazed at the difference in my chest, and would recommend anyone with COPD to discuss getting one of these machines for home use. I would also highly recommend EverGreen Nebulisers, because they are so helpful and supportive.

Portaneb Omron Pari Philips or Medix
Here’s a little tongue in cheek story sent in by one of our customers
“Often found in the draining board region of the kitchen ‘the baffle’ is a rare thing to behold. Sometimes known by its other name the vaporiser head or most often by its pet name “the thing in the middle”. They are quite rare and there is only one in every nebuliser kit.
By documenting such a rare item I am trying to highlight just how vital this component is to an effective nebuliser therapy and remind everyone that life just wouldn’t be the same were it to become lost forever.”
So help us help you, by taking great care of this mysterious and wonderful thing. Portaneb, Innospire, Omron, Pari or Medix, you can all do your bit by taking good care of your nebuliser accessories. If you click HERE you can just see the vaporiser head in its natural habitat

Nebuliser Product Reviews and Comments
Yesterday we had an email asking for a space for customer feedback, so here goes.
We have kick started it with a few links to existing product reviews and personal comments but you are all welcome to add your own. However for those of you with a wicked glint in your eye unlike some other review websites we do have editorial control and although honest appraisals, genuine reviews and concerns will be very welcome, cheeky devilment won’t.

One thing we have learnt over 20 odd years is when it comes to choosing a nebuliser 'one size doesn't suit all'

Portable nebulisers, why so fiddly?
We had a couple of computer technological hitches recently which served to remind us just how some of you feel when confronted by the small portable nebulisers.
All those elements we take for granted, mesh cap technology, lithium battery, dual voltage, not to mention all those leads, wires and tiny buttons. Words and practices that after a while have just become second nature for us just as checking your mirror or changing gear when you drive may be for you.
So if you are thinking of investing in a small portable travel nebuliser don’t be put off. Over the years we have had feedback from so many customers who, with advice on which nebuliser would be most suitable for their needs, a small amount of patient explanation regarding assembly and care and a little practice before setting out, have discovered a whole new lease of life or added an extra dimension to their day.
If you are thinking that small portable nebulisers are a little fiddly? Are they are worth investing the money and possibly the time needed to become familiar? I can assure you that for very many of our customers the overwhelming answer is YES and with a little patience operating a portable nebuliser can become as easy as operating your mains nebuliser.
