Afflovest I don't want to use it.

Posted by hbarbh @hbarbh, 17 hours ago

I have a new size small Afflovest that I don't want.
Everyone else thinks I need this thing but I've tried it several times and I just don't like it. It might be the cats meow for someone .... but it's not my cup of tea. Yes I have MAC and Bronchiectasis , but I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm never going to use it and I want to sell it. Where can I advertise an Afflovest? I thought maybe here... but is this forbidden? Ebay? where?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

I don’t know if it’s against the rules but I might consider purchasing if you could give more information on the vest. Feel free to private message me.

I have an Afflovest also, which gave me rib pain. My new improved pulmonologist suggested I try it with the lowest setting. I had been using it on the highest setting. If pain is your issue, maybe the lowest setting is worth trying first before selling etc?

I had high hopes for Afflovest and somehow thought it would make an appreciable difference in the clearance (time) regimen. Since I stopped using it I've managed to get by with mucinex/albuterol/saline and autogenic drainage and active breathing. I will try again on low to see if it makes a difference.

As for selling, I'm pretty sure I've seen them on Ebay before. That or a donation somewhere. I think the CF community gets them at no cost.
