does the vest work for you?

Jennifer.....I had to laugh when I saw that you had tried the vest backwards. I actually tried that a few times and really liked it. It is too hard to put on that way though for me<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I have a percussor now and find that if I want to target specific spots or what more of a punch it is good for that. Exercise is also great CPT.

My vest works for me. I do it at the same time as all of my nebs. I change the settings... sometimes I turn the pressure up all the way and sometimes I turn the frequency all the way up. I use the old vest - i have had it for eight years. ........ never have tried it backward.........

In my opinion none of it works as good as I wished it to....
Flutter, Acapella, Hand CPT, IPV, Vest (old & new) tried 'em all and have used them everyday but I still get sick of course. I guess it's just a matter of preference, which works the best for you individually, and which you can stay compliant with.
(I never could stay compliant with the flutter...)

Casey, do you normally cough out a lot when you do airway clearance? And with the Vest you didn't? I don't cough up tons when I do my Vest, but I don't cough up tons when I do any other airway clearance either (except exercise)

my daughter uses the vest. very passive and not much production (if you catch my drift)
she has started running with the track team at school and coughs stuff up all the time. woo hoo!

how many parents to do you think would be happy to hear that!!!???? get that junk out!!!!!!

then I ask 'hey, what color was it'? that always freaks her out. (not that that'll stop me)

so truthfully, I'm not sure how effective the vest is for her, unless of course she just isn't doing it right.
