Ask doctor about Smartvest. Have been on it 5-6 years and not hospitalized once. Usually every 2 years I'd get an infection that required 2-3 day stay. The SV loosens mucus so easier to cough it up. I use it 2x a day as well as a nebulizer 1x a day and an inhaler. Medicare paid for it over 13 months and now I own it. The rep who showed me how to use it said they have patients 1 month old (!) to 99. Good luck.

@broncmac yes I have been using the vest for almost two years- however whatever I do I cannot expel mucus , just tiny specks, sometimes a small blob of greenish brownish but on a regular basis just clear mucus. But I know the thick bad stuff is there - rarely it comes out suddenly. Somebody said no matter what, move it. So I do it yet my BE progresses- more mucus plugs and one consolidation area. I have been on brinsupri for 6 weeks- my blood pressure went up from my regular 110 to 120-130. It’s still fine but I watch it.
