Afflovest I don't want to use 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 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?

@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.
