Diagnosis Bronchiectasis
by littlepath, Jun 19, 2009 09:08AM
I have recently been diagnosed with Bronchiectasis. My pulmonologist recommended a product called “The Vest. “ I have it on a 30-day trial and it’s worked wonders. MUCH less coughing and mucus, greated lung capacity, etc. My insurance company has denied coverage on this very expensive piece of equipment and, while I am appealing the decision, I’m also looking to see what else is out there that will aid long-term, in keeping my lungs clear. I’ve seen several products that are not only much less expensive, but also seem easier to deal with. Frankly, I’m not crazy about the shaking-up I get twice a day with the Vest. I’d like to hear from others with this disease so I can learn what else might work and where these other options can be found. Thanks
