Hello Pam - I have had pseudemonas since 2015, getting it every year 2 or 3 times. I have just begun the regimen of 2 puffs of albuterol followed by saline in the nebulizer. I am hoping it will keep the pseudemonas at bay. I prefer not to use the phone to communicate, but certainly reach out by the Mayo portal if you have any specific questions. Stay well!

hi Pam , thank you for responding back, I do nebulizing two times daily 7% saline , after that, the aerobica .. I don’t believe you get rid of the pseudomonas but the saline does help to keep it at bay ,, Airway clearance is very important to get the mucus cleared out of the airways so the infection doesn’t cause serious problems… , Along with exercise and eating well , And staying away from people that are sick. I’m sure you probably know this from your doctors!! I myself, have it from 2019 . I was recently in the hospital for the pseudonymous with two different antibiotics that was June of this year. But it seems to have come back. I don’t think it was ever cured ! it’s very difficult to cure it. That’s why you have to keep your body as healthy as possible and keep doing the airway clearance. I’m sure you’re gonna be fine. We’re all in this together Pam . I wanted to ask you did you ever have coughing up blood? You can get that from the bronchiectasis which I did have,, i’m surprised you haven’t done the airway clearance sooner your doctor never told you? Pam , it’s very important and will make you feel better doing it. I hope this helps you and text back whenever you get a chance 🙋‍♀️ have a very happy & healthy Thanksgiving to you & yours !! enjoy👋🏻 Pam
