Any Experience with Ciprofloxacin?

@narelled23 Along with the IV I followed it with 2 months of inhaled colistin. Neither medication was fun to administer. My main side effect was from the colistin as it made my lung function decline, and I didn't understand why I was always tired, until I stopped. After I stopped i felt a lot better. I have been pseudomonas free since then (over 1 year). It was one of the reasons I decided to take the Brinsupri.

At the time I got the pseudomonas I was also on the Big 3 treating MAC. Since I had a lot of sputum it was hard to tell I had the pseudomonas until we did a culture and it showed up.
Hope this helps - Good Luck.

@sherrig
May I ask if your lung function returned after finishing the drug?
