I remember when the VEST was supposed to be the new big thing to replace manual PT, it isn't and doesn't. My care center recommended the VEST fully and my insurance got me a really good one but it has NEVER done as good as the manual therapy. When I am in for a stay at my care center they still...

Caleb and ducky both made good points, Cf people have had to grow up fast and are in some ways much more mature than healthy people of the same age(worse around your age). I went through a few of those relationships and the stress of trying to hang on to it and always worrying, etc is NOT worth...

HOLY CRAP!! I have never found anyone else who does they're own manual PT!!!! I have been doing my own PT for over 20 years and am thought of as an oddity at my care center(people stop by my room when in hospital to see me do it). For me it works better than the vest by far and beats what the...

How long till here in the states????? Sounds like a good treatment,,,Australia seems way ahead in CF treatments.

I am 40 right now, I have lived past every life expectancy number before it gets moved up. To be honest I think more about staying alive, exercise REGULARLY enjoy all the new modern meds and your chances or beating 45 are better than any time before now. I also want every day possible with my...

I am 40 now and 5'7" and 166 pounds, I am not an Adonis but I am WELL built for a small boned guy. Best advice is workout regularly and SMART(form over weight always wins), also take alot of protein and amino acids(I use vitamin world brand) as well as a STRONG multi-vitamin not the weak-ass CF...

Its a little hardcore but I LOVE the song: Warrior's Cry by Volbeat. No song will fire you up to fight more than this one, it is more energizing than the old Eye Of The Tiger from Rocky.

I lift weights(heavy for hardcore breathing)4 days a week for 40-65min. I also play racquetball 2 days aweek for 2-3 hours at a time. Other than that my job is pretty physical and i do whatever else I can as much as I can. Sometimes I push harder than they like but it works for me.

Cipro is hardcore I have used cipro off and on for about 15 years and my joints and tendons have steadliy worsened very time. I am an avid exercise nut and wish my Dr. had warned me years ago of these side effects. I just finished up what I have decided will be my last course of Cipro, the...

<br>I am 38 and find that the vest really isn't very effective compared to the manual cpt. The manual cpt is an oldie but still works the best hands down. I do still try to use the vest just to vary my therapy but I don't expect to get much with it even doing breathing exercises during it. Good...

Your compressor does sound very weak, mine got like that and it affects how well the meds are delivered. I would recommend getting it checked or replaced as for neb cups I use the pari LC or the LC-D and you can see when the meds are gone. As for the noise none of them are quiet, I set mine on...

<br>My doctor pushed for me to get the vest, so I finally did get one. The one I have is considered one of the best but even on 100% I don't get anywhere near as much if any at times out compared to the manual cpt. I still try to use the vest but it honestly does NOT work as well as manual cpt...
