    Danger if vest settings too high?

    Well, I never broke any ribs until I started using the vest. Then suddenly I began breaking 3-4 of them at a time while coughing. I have often wondered if anyone else experienced this issue. I had been using it on high vibrations with high pressure.

    When I was a teenager, I knew a woman with CF who was a physician. The process of getting her MD really took its toll. She passed away at age 33.

    Have you tried the pediatric BRAT diet for the diarrhea? (bananas, rice, apple juice, toast). I have found it pretty successful for antibiotic-related diarrhea. Obviously you eat other stuff too, but a few servings of each of that stuff per day and hopefully it will slow things down.
