windwalker I just wanted to report that I received a note from Dr Moua in Rochester in response to my recent culture. He says that there was 1 MAC noted but he did not feel it needed to be addressd at this time. I've been fortunate..... I have just shown minute amounts of MaC (so it seems to me). He went on to say that there was an abundance of pseudomos and that he is prescribing two weeks of Levaquin 500 mg. I have just finished 3 weeks of Cipro and am still coughing moderately. So..... going for a different med. Thought you might be interested that again, a Mayo doctor is holding back on the Big Three.

@auntnanny Jan, I hope the Levaquin does the trick for you.

@auntnanny, I hope that you can get the pseudomonass under control. Please keep us posted.

@autnanny, Hello Jan! Was thinking about you today. How are you feeling? Are you rid of the pseudomonas, or is it too early to tell?

@auntnanny Did the Levaquin help your cough and what kind of side effects did you have.
