@johnwpatrick I was not given a discussion on my PA I apparently grew. I was kind of not told how dangerous it was. I recently had been drowning for 7 m in mucus feeling fatigued and unwell. Until I collapsed with high fever chills like death did anyone react. I went to a different hospital when this happened. No one wants to be a part of helping me. Its oh well. Just try this , doxycycline. After 2 weeks of that along with 3 others before this . Finally I was told it was PA . Omg . Now its is so called colonized . I just got off cefipime only. Im doing ok for now. Before all this ,myID Dr told me go on cipro 7 days . I dont do well on cipro I had side effects to eyes and nervous system. So I hope you find an answer from ypur doctors hiw to live a better life. That's what im doing. And staying positive.

@johnwpatrick Did either doctor order a sensitivity test on the culture? Different strains of pseudomonas are sensitive or resistant to different antibiotics. Also, your pulmonologist may have more experience with treating pseudo in lung patients. It can be notoriously hard to beat.
