@alleycatkate & @joann, My test results came back NEGATIVE!!!! Negative for everything! Joann, I took myself off of my meds in March 2020, because of drug fatigue. I was sick and tired of taking them, plus I was feeling better and felt I did not need them any longer. I had been on antibiotics since 2013. That sounds like a lot, but the first three yrs I was only taking antibiotics for ten days a month. I confessed that I had stopped my meds to my new dr at Mayo and told her I would go back on them if she felt I should. She said I didn't have to go back on, but continue with the albuterol and nebulized saline. She gave me a script for an antibiotic to keep on hand should an infection start up. So far, so good on my end.

Terri,
Great news I’m so happy for you!!!
Yes drug fatigue is terrible. So glad you are off of the antibiotics. When you say you were feeling better did you still have the tightness in your chest and the cough? Or you had no symptoms at all?

Irony Rocks! When negative is positive. Way to go Teri. Don

Awesome awesome Windwalker aka Terri......
