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.

Colleen. I'm not sure how to answer as I've been on and off Tobramycin for almost 5 years. Some of the time has been rough. I've had different treatment periods--14 days on and 14 off or 28 days on and 28 days off.) When I'd go off of it and begin to get my strength and appetite back I would have to go back on it. I had to be taken off it completely early this year. Currently I'm doing OK but just waiting to get the report back regarding M Abscessus. Hope this is helpful.
