Well, my two weeks of IV infusions (which followed two weeks of Bactrim) gave me almost six days of improvement after the PICC line was taken out. On the seventh day after the PICC line, my old issues came back with a vengeance. Coughing fits were back, my sputum production increased considerably, and the color of sputum returned to the sickly green color that it was before all of these treatments started. Very depressing. I don't understand why things would bounce back so quickly to my former state after so many antibiotic treatments.

Has anybody else experienced this kind of negative rebound?
