If you have Bronchiectasis or CF you need to see a Pulmo who specializes in those areas or infectious disease Dr possibly. Some people do not get as much trouble from their Pseudomonas and it is milder while others have a heavy load. Your clear sputum is a good sign. Can you find a pulmo who specializes in your area?

@irenea8
Thank you, Irene...I have contacted one of the leading pulmos today, in the public system, spoke to the nurse there who was also concerned about the Cipro. Because I did a sputum on Saturday, she is going to wait until the results are in and then speak to Dr Waring and see what he might recommend. I suspect the suputum won't pick up anything after all this time on antibiotics. However, I am feel like the gurgling mucus feeling is diminishing, so maybe the Cipro is slowly working...third day now.

@irenea8 I do have a pulmonary doctor, and she is putting me on prednisone for inflammation. I had been suffering from pneumonia, and I am on infusions for my immune system which has helped me a great deal.
