Colleen. I've never been prescribed Colistin for my pseudomonas. I've had Levofloxacin, Ciftazidime (via PICC line) inhaled Tobramycin and Cipro. If I do have M. Abscessus confirmed it will be at a level that I can just continue the AWC and "watch and wait." My pulm. wants to put me on brensocatib once it FDA approved, which should be this fall.

Faye:
From what I’ve read Colistin and Tobramycin are similar and both are inhaled. I’m on levaquin, although tomorrow is my last scheduled day.
How are you feeling now? How long did it take to see any type of improvement? My fever remains around 100 and my blood oxygen is falling.

Has your pulmo explained much about why he feels the brensocatib will be helpful? I also have chronic Pseudo and my pulmo mentioned it awhile back.
