I would go for the big guns and ask for 14 days of IV antibiotics. I would not mess around. Then you will have the population of pseudomonas be minimal. You will need to learn to use either the Vest or the Monarch or the Aerobika along with nebulizing saline and albuterol and eventually you will be on pulmozyme and inhaled tobramycin and now I am also on cayston. Keep yourself in great shape. Walk, lift weights, do yoga, meditate, etc.

Did you do a course of IV? And if so which one? Do you find that the Albuterol makes a difference in your ability to expel the mucus? I read somewhere that Pulmozyme is not recommended for Non Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis. But what has your experience been with using it? Also Pulmozyme and Cayston are not covered by medicare unless you have CF and they are super expensive. Do you have CF? Do you use Toby and Cayston?? Or just one of them now?
