Hi Scoop,
You said "When I used afflovest ..." you don't use it any more, why? And when you decide not to use it, can you return it? I am going to give it a try since I constantly have infections.

Thanks!
Ling

Afflovest gave me rib pain. From what I've read if you plan to try a vest ask for a SmartVest. People seem to like these, and if you like it you'll use. Instead of using a vest or aerobika I reply on autogenic drainage, 1 hour in a.m. and 1 hour in p.m. It's a drag but necessary to keep things clear.

You might have a bronchiectasis phenotype where you get frequent infections. Do you have an open order to drop off sputum samples? Have you had your immune system tested? How much sputum do you produce?
