Afflovest I don't want to use it.

I have an Afflovest also, which gave me rib pain. My new improved pulmonologist suggested I try it with the lowest setting. I had been using it on the highest setting. If pain is your issue, maybe the lowest setting is worth trying first before selling etc?
I had high hopes for Afflovest and somehow thought it would make an appreciable difference in the clearance (time) regimen. Since I stopped using it I've managed to get by with mucinex/albuterol/saline and autogenic drainage and active breathing. I will try again on low to see if it makes a difference.
As for selling, I'm pretty sure I've seen them on Ebay before. That or a donation somewhere. I think the CF community gets them at no cost.

Yes I am thinking of donating a vest also but going to try it again.
Developed pain on my left side and stopped....but...going to give it another go on a lower setting than before. Yes, I feel what I am doing is getting the job done also....but....one more go of it with the vest.
One thing for sure.....the manufacturers want to sell them! Just like food producers and all manufacturers etc. etc. want you to think they have what you 'need.' Some, however, do have what we need and a thank you to them.
