Good morning fellow COPDers, hope we're all getting girded up for the winter with as many protective precautions as possible at the ready. Envy the hedgehog: feed up, find a comfy sleeping position and then wake up on a lovely Spring morning.
Coughing. Like many of us I sometimes have difficulty in delivering relieving sputum (coughing up). I've just read an ad about an instrument, Lung Flute, that creates a vibratory flow to loosen stubborn sputum Has anyone any experience of them?

Some GP offer device on prescription.
Can now be purchased at
Does anybody know if this is better than the aerosure medic?
If anyone buys one be sure to get it without the vat!
I like to test all of these things. As it works on a different principal o the various flutter devices I have ordered one. I will let you know how it works for bronchiectasis.
Thanks stillstanding63. As I had a pneumothorax earlier in the year my respiratory team have a reservation in my case. However they suggested I get a GP referral to physio and take it from there. I'm still looking forward to hearing your report.
yes, pneumothorax is a whole different ball game. Just to let you know. About 5 years ago my nephew had one and afterwards the team wanted to do spme quite drastic surgery. He declined it and has been fine. He even boxes now! Good luck, I hope that you stay well
Coughing up sputum with blood in it, following a lung infection, is this any cause for concern?
What part of your condition do you consider the most disabling?
I have joined this forum because my Husband has lung disease he was diagnosed some years ago with Pleural Plaques due to asbestos exposureAt a loss.
