2 rounds of 7% saline did the trick - waiting on word from the lab, but the tech thought it looked good. I am not a candidate for the vest due to arthritis in neck & spine. I'll get a new Aerobika from my doc - the one I have is very weak now - one of the reasons I was happy to see Dr Falkinham's study showing daily sterilization is unnecessary - it is hard on devices.

Sue- Glad to hear you were able to produce sputum and that it appeared to look good enough for full testing. Also sounds good, the new doctors desire to see "where we are today" for you.
I had a problem with the vest, sore ribs. I have laid off of it for a while and do self percussion, postural and autogenic drainage. So far so good....as far as I can tell. For myself it appears I produce what is needed by clearing mucus and mucus plugs out from the lungs and further give samples for testing. My problem is having the mucus all day long and needing to clear the throat. As a matter of fact it now has become a proud moment for me when I see I have brought up mucus plugs into my clear solo cup.....who would a thunk it.....that something like that would be a proud and happy moment.!
Looking forward to hearing you are pleased with all test results.

Somehow I missed seeing that study. Do you have a link or website for that?
