Smartvest...Is it helpful in eliminating sputum?

I asked because I had a couple of mucus plugs on my last CT but I got a lot of mucus out the day after so they're probably gone. I also had pseudomonas last July. I was really sick with tons of mucus. Once I did the oral antibiotic and tobi, my mucus went way down. Now I have mucus once every week or so. The vest was causing my chest to be sore so I bought a small massager. My pulmonologist told my husband to use it on my back every morning followed with the cupping technique for about 5 minutes total. So we're trying that now instead of the vest

@davis5663 I am curious to find out if you have gotten rid of the Pseudomonas after doing the meds and also how long were you on the Tobi? I could only tolerate Tobi for 2 weeks and then had to quit. I retested about two months after I ended the therapy and they were not present....but I somehow think they are in hiding. I had a very heavy infection and the mucus and coughing was awful. Kate
