@rits Hi Rita! I will be praying that you come back from your dr appt with a good report. I have had the pseudomonas before, it was a real drag. Klebsiella is typically a hospital borne bacteria; do you know where you might have picked that up? Please keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi again Terry! Despite being a germophobe (we probably all are now), I picked up a virus and am waiting to hear from my dr about whether I should come in tomorrow. I apparently have NO resistance.
I'm so sorry that you have been dealing with these horrible bugs for so long. I'm glad you have found a protocol to keep it all under control. While discussing snorkeling, you said you have low lung function. Is that from fighting the bacteria, bronchiectasis or some other condition? I apologize if I am being too inquisitive. Rita

Hi Terri, Yes, I picked up the bacteria in the hospital. Last December, a sore throat turned into an exacerbation of my lung diseases and, when I couldn't get off the chair due to the inability to breathe, I called 911 and was in the hospital for 17 days. I've had a lot of serious medical problems requiring hospitalization over the years, but nothing like this! I reported my November 2018 MAC dx and their testing showed no other bacteria, just a rhinovirus. In May, a few pseudomonas appeared and in June the klebsiella, many pseudomonas and a fungus showed up. Very frustrating!
