I took IV Imipenem for a whole day! I was also prescribed two oral meds at that time. Got one down and was too nauseous to get the third one down. I had severe nausea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing with uncontrollable shaking of my arms and legs during my second dose of Imipenem. All at the same time! I finally was able to lie down and I shook myself to sleep for 3 hours,
My ID doctor discontinued all my meds. Lots of money down the drain!
Amikacin iv was his next choice with two oral meds. It wasn’t a feasible plan because he said I had to go to the hospital twice a day for infusions. I had my PICC line pulled and never went back.
That was January and I’ve been to two different pulmonologist since then. I am currently doing the watchful waiting with ACTs. My last CT was greatly improved to the point of almost resolved.
