@brody89 I feel for you. After two years I was getting depressed. I like how you're looking out for positive futures. For me, the antibiotics worked and was directly correlated feeling better. That is what clued me into that it was a bacterial infection even without the tests showing positive. My sputum was thick and gray yellow which I associated with white blood cells fighting infection. From your description, it sounds like you've got something else going on. I wish you the best!
@brody89 Brinsupri is available now. My husband just received his first shipment from a specialty pharmacy. It is very, very expensive and dr had to provide documentation (I believe it's called pre-authorization) to his insurance co. for it to be approved.

@brody89 Has the doctor ordered a culture of your sputum to determine exactly what bacteria is in your lungs, and to which antibiotics it is sensitive?
Have you been instructed in how to do daily airway clearance to help remove the mucus where bacteria hide?
