I had the three times a day infusions of Meropenen for two weeks several years ago. It worked well. Home health nurses taught my husband to do the infusions and we got along fine. The Picc line was not hard to take care of and used plastic wrap to take shower. I felt wonderful after the infusions for quite some time.

I had a bronchoscopy several weeks ago and they found pseudomonas. Pulmonologist has me on azithromycin Mon-Wed-Fri for three months, possibly rest of life. First two weeks was rough, I had a serious case of rhinosinusitis. The pulling of that mucus, yeast infection from my sinuses and brain hurt a lot. The worst pain I've had in years.

I'm in my third week of azithromycin and feeling much better. Pulmonologist is in Italy so I guess I am on my own to decide whether this works but it seems to be working.

Living with bronchiectasis is challenging. I use manuka honey and mullein to get green gunk up. I have started mullein tea as well so will see if that helps.

God Bless all of you living with these circumstances. Try to stay positive even though it is hard at times. We can be here for each other.
