Acapella vs. Vest

Personally I love my vest even though I don't cough up much while I'm using it. I hate breathing anything while on the vest, because I don't feel like I can inhale it deep enough. The reason I love my vest though is that I feel like it breaks everything up so I can breathe my meds afterwards and cough up a ton more than I would normally do without the vest. I do not like the acapella very much, it's too much work. I like to sit and be lazy and let the vest shake me. :) Sometimes I do the acapella though just for something extra or on vacation.<br><br>
I used to have a flutter, and I remember that I liked it better than the acapella. I've thought about getting another one again.

Andrew uses all three methods,..Vest, Flutter, and manual CPT. The most effective by far is his flutter. He always coughs up more with that than the other two. I really think it is an individual thing. I wish his vest was as effective! (We paid enough for it!) But I would say he uses his vest and flutter equally, and once in awhile , maybe once a week, he opts for manual CPT.

I sent my Vest back because it didn't seem to do anything for me. The Acapella doesn't seem to show results but the drs. said I need to still do something that might LOOSEN things, if not bring it up. They let me choose and since the Acapella didn't cost me and was so much easier to do I am going for that.

I use my vest for the most part, because I, too, am lazy (lol) and would rather do something passive for clearance and websurf or sort socks, haha. I do use my Flutter or Quake (but my Flutter seems to still give me the best results too) if I am feeling gunky (forgot it for my clinic appt. yesterday <img src="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j213/boxart/smilies/doh3.gif">) .

I am going to <i>try</i> to remember to do my Flutter everyday, instead of just on gunky days. I figure that my vest is more of a long term, shake up-wherever-the-air-can't reach, manual pounding replacement and the Flutter, etc. an immediate results kinda thing, if that makes sense <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .
