Irenea8, About a year in to being on Toby, I started to lose my voice. I pushed through for another six months but when my hearing was impacted, I called it quits. I started Colistin and have been on it for over two years. I find it easy to tolerate. I have not noticed any negative side effects. As per NJH recommendation, I use it two weeks on/off. My last sputum sample showed few pseudomonas, which is a first! Before starting inhaled antibiotics, I was on at least five PICC lines, so I am thankful this current therapy is working. I hope you find what works for you!

This is very helpful to know so thank you. I will press my Pulmo about the Colistin. I have read others saying it did not have side effects although I find that hard to believe. With the Toby I lost my voice after just 5 treatments but that was not the issue that made me stop. It reduced my urine output and seemed to negatively impact my kidney function.

By the way if you dont mind my asking, what IV Antibiotics did you try with the 5 PICC lines and what happened with each one? How long did they help or did they?
