Have Bronchiectasis, recently diagnosed with pseudomonas

I too was diagnosed with pseudomonas after having MAIC two times. The first treatment for pseudomonas was a 14day Rx of Ciprofloxacin. I felt better immediately and the symptoms went away. Within 2 weeks of finishing my Rx the symptoms started to come back. My speutem was retested and I still had pseudomonas. I was prescribed the Tobymycin Inhaler for 30 days. I have very good insurance but my out of pocket was over $1000. It was worth every penny. The Tobymycin worked and I have been feeling major symptom free since I finished it May 2016.

<br><br><br><br><br><br>Healthwell is a charitable organization that helps with your co-pay if <br>you fall within a certain financial bracket. They helped pay for my tobramycin. <br>Am super grateful for it. I do donate voluntarily back to them some $$ to give <br>back and help replenish their funds. Hope this helps. Also, if any of you out <br>there want to donate to them, it is a tax deductible item. Plus, it helps many <br>people, especially those with Cystic Fibrosis.<br> <br><br>
