Another Vest question

Okay, I've been using my Vest twice a day since Sunday. <img src="i/expressions/vest.gif" border="0"> I know that's only 3 days. My question is, do you usually see results right away or is it a gradual thing? I'm not getting anything up yet and I'm worried.

If I tell the dr. it's not helping, then the ins. won't pay for the thing. Yet, so far it's not making any difference that I can tell.

Did you all notice a difference right away?

It took me 6 months of playing with the settings to get significant results out of mine. I would fiddle with it, try new settings until you find what works best.

I don't know which vest you have but here are some questions off the top of my head....Is the fit of the vest good? What settings are you using? Did you have a tech come and show you how to use it properly? Are you stopping the machine every 5 minutes to do huffing coughs?

Doing Hypertonic Saline and the vest together has helped me with being more productive but it does take effort on my part.

You could call the company you received your vest from and ask for their advice. As Chris says...fiddle with it and try new setting until you find what works for you. Hang in there...and let us know how it goes.

Ditto on "is the vest fitting right"

If I remember correctly you got the RespirTech right? Did you follow the instructions on moving the velcro tabs back and forth to get the vest tight enough?

If you have any questions call RespirTech and ask for Josh -- he works in customer service/training and.... he has CF so he knows more than most!

Good luck!
