Hardly any sputum today. Plus a question

Personally, I find that I can consistently get about 6-8 blobs out during airway clearance, UNLESS I use the Aerobika. The Aerobika pretty much shuts airway clearance down for me-- I get practically nothing out whenever I try it. I'm baffled.

For those days when I get very little out, I can't congratulate myself because I make up for it on the following day by getting more out than what is normal.

@letsjustbreathe I don't think the aerobika works for me either. I have very deep seated phlegm. It wants to come up when I lay back - not when I'm doing activities and upright. So a couple times a day I have to lay back on the recliner. Big pain when you don't want to sit still. Of course I do the nebs and the shaker vest. I suppose it all works together for good. I have to take mucinex too - do you?
