Afflovest I don't want to use it.
I have a new size small Afflovest that I don't want.
Everyone else thinks I need this thing but I've tried it several times and I just don't like it. It might be the cats meow for someone .... but it's not my cup of tea. Yes I have MAC and Bronchiectasis , but I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm never going to use it and I want to sell it. Where can I advertise an Afflovest? I thought maybe here... but is this forbidden? Ebay? where?

I’m looking for an afflowvest & see many on here who don’t use/want theirs. I’m using the Hill Rom and the machine is cumbersome. I want to travel in a campervan and space is a premium. If anyone wants to revisit getting rid of theirs, I’d be so grateful. I am 5’4”, 107#. Thank you!
I am thinking of selling mine on Ebay. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere without transportation. I've had to cancel several doctor appointments because the clinics are a hundred miles away and I can't get there. My afflovest is the most expensive thing I own so I need to trade it for money to fix my car.

Don't use mine. Only used for a year. I felt it didn't help. Better sputum release with my acapella. It's just sitting in my closet in bag.

1 ReactionDid you happen to sell this? I’m looking for one in this size
@bernardinifamily
Yes, I sold it
Even switching the vest to LOW still gives me tremendous rib/back pain. I am very slight build, don't weigh as much as I should, and this was just becoming more and more debilitating. Pulmonologist had a discussion with me and we are now going back to antibiotic regimen for a while (which I used to do daily for a year with my first two MAC bouts). Stepdaughter suggested maybe trying the vest once a week or two? Do you suppose this would still help?
@spfl7 smartvest has a wrap option which I tried when I initially had difficulty when first starting with my vest. Not sure if other manufacturers offer it but it might be worth a try if you still want to use your machine as part of your airway clearance routine.
@spfl7 I use Smartvest. It is the wrap around vest but after losing a lot of weight. Now 82 lbs, I have to keep vest open but still works well on my back and side. Could you try that with yours?
