Hi Joann. I was put on inhaled tobramycin. It knocked the pseudomonas right out in a month's time. Mind you, this med does not work for everyone. Do you have your suseptability test results? Do you know what those are?

Thank you for your reply. I have not had the test done yet and it has not been mentioned either.
I live in NY.

I'm reading this info and I have to say, I don't know what these "suseptability" tests are. I don't know if my ID doctor has run them but I'm going to find out. I also wonder why no one, ID doctor and/or plumonolgist hasn't said anything about nebulizing. I did ask my Pulm. doc about it and he said I don't need it, as long as I use my Albuterol before using my Smart Vest, he said it accomplishes the same thing.??? Thank you for any input. Toni
