@margiel17 I have the bacteria Pseudomonas in my system . For the past year and half I’ve had several different infections ….UTI, sinus infections , lung infections ,eye infections ..was treated at different times with IV antibiotics . I just brought up a sputum last month from the lungs which came back as Pseudomonas colonized . However asymptomatic so Drs choose not to treat . However they have referred me back to the Infectious Disease Dr to see if there is a way to treat and irradiate the Psuedomonas !
I’m scheduled for a CT Scan Monday so they can see my lungs from bringing up the sputum ! Then scheduled for a sinus CT scan …Will keep you posted with important information !

@kaybast praying you get good news to eradicate. I was told can never happen. I have bronchiactisis mac and psuedanoma aerigenosa. Just got over IV pics 14 days to push psuedanoma back. But i was told can never get rid of it. Just keep in asymptomatic then use IV again and or inhaledctobi etc . Im so sorry for you. Bless you
