@desertdwellerjh first may I extend my condolences on your loss ..I pray for some comfort at this difficult time .
I had Psuedomonas last year with 4 infections , UTI , Lung, Sinus and Eye. I have been under A Rhumotologist care in addition to my cardio and pulmonary DRs. He did an extensive work up and found high Inflammatory markers in y bones, my blood and my lungs . He proceeded to set me up on Remicade infusions and I Went for my blood work for the Infusion Center. During that interim I went for check up with my ENT Dr and he took a culture of the left Maxillary and it came back with Psuedomonas again. So my Rhumotologist stopped the infusion process and I was referred back to Infectious Disease Dr . So that’s where I am now back on Zosyn IV for 3 wks ….The Rhumotologist says he will not start anything with me until he receives a letter that says I am clear of the sinus infection. Honestly I don’t think the Disease Center knew last yr that it was gone after my treatment . My white blood count came back to normal and I think that’s what they relied on. I have an appt tomorrow with the ENT Dr and the Infectious Disease Dr has called him and requested that he do another culture to see where we are. I’m so hopeful to be able to start the infusions for the High Inflammatory markers because I’m told I will feel much better … so time will tell. I will be 85 in June . Sounds like we’re working along the same lines huh?
All the best ! ❤️ Kay B.
