Sue-
I haven't needed to take pain medication, as yet, but wanted to know what to do or not do, take etc., before needing to take something.
This thread is from 2019, Glad you posted this because I may have misunderstood what I read, in that I was under the impression we shouldn't take ibuprofen with BE.

Is there any new information that you know of regarding pain medication with BE and MAI, yet..... not on antibiotics?

Or is there any new information that you know of regarding pain medication with BE/MAI and.... on antibiotics?
If and when you have the time and can reply.
Thanks
Barbara

I haven't heard anything new, and my pulmonologist would definitely tell me. I do avoid ibuprofen as much as I can, keeping it "in reserve" for days when my usual approaches aren't enough - it doesn't make me pain-free but it takes the edge off enough to function.
