Has anyone taken Ciprofloxacin for pseudomonas? How did it go?

I had pseudomonas diagnosed in early 2024. It was not treated right away and eventually became colonized. I have had multiple PICC line treatments (usually for two weeks) to administer cefepime to get the flares under control. For the last year I have been nebulizing Colistimethate twice daily (after airway clearance) and it has greatly reduced my pseudomonas exacerbations.

@ja24 I have also been diagnosed with pseudo minus and have been treat with several drugs. The first was Toby that was fine for about a month but then my Dr at NYU took me off it b
Because it was effecting my hearing. My symptoms did, however, improve while on it. Next a used for about anther month before I started having severe dizziness and joint pains. Once again my symptoms improved Next came Cayston, nebulized 3x per day, 2 weeks on then 2 weeks off. So far after my first 2 wks I’m feeling fine but my mucus production is way up and I have a stuffy nose. Dr said symptoms to be expected. Hope my experience helps you.

Any side effects to the Colistin? My Pulmo said it is "worse" than Toby for side effects.
