I have used the Afflovest on the medium setting for a little over a year. Medicare pays. The respiratory therapist working with the UTexas Tyler Pulmonary Clinic instructed me to use it AFTER my nebulizing, coughing( including Huff Coughing, and using the Aerobika and my nebulizer). For the last part of the vest 'session'- Drainage- I lay on my left side on the bed or couch. I have Bronchiectasis and Myco Abscessus abscessus. I find that this all works and helps me. Good Luck

Hi - There are a couple of us, or more, who have been patients at Tyler that are on this site. Becky the respiratory therapist is great and nurse Tracy is wonderful.
I can see why to use the vest after all the other, moisture loosened it, vest to help break it up and then up and out with Drainage and huff cough again.
I understand the Afflovest is heavy, is it? It is great that one can walk around with it on.
Were you seeing doctor McShane? I was. What have you decided?
I am in OKC, so it is a little bit of a drive etc. but worth it when the care is good.

Not Nancy, do you mean you use the vest after all other clearing therapies?
