@auntnanny I am on the same regimen as @america. The tobramycin knocked it out of me in 2016. I have been on the tobramycin every other month since then. I have 'known' you for awhile now; a year or more. I have seen you text that you are on antibiotics for a week or two feel better, then off for several months, then sick again, then on antibiotics for a week or two.....short runs om antibiotics don't seem to be working for you. Like me, you may need to be on them for an indefinite time. A few weeks here and there is not enough to beat it down.
A few years ago, before getting this diagnosis, I was put on levaquin.. cough went away for 2.5 years!! Be careful tho, levaquin is known to cause achilles tendons to tear.
Hi, I was reading your post and wanted to tell you what I’m talking. I did use the 3 antibiotics before but I am now doing saline and that’s helping to clean my mucus. But I’m also using inhaled Tobramycin in my nebulizer. I have only been on this antibiotics for 10 days and I believe this is a great way cause I can’t swallow pills, I’m always having to crush them. I also have pseudomonas and bronchiectasis. Hope this helps. Rita.
