Hi, All, - I had my check up with my ID doc a couple of days ago. I went with a yellow pad and a page full of questions, primarily initiated from posts on this forum. I also went back and reviewed my sputum text results from the beginning before my appt. I have 2 docs collecting my lovely mucous - my ID doc and my CF doc. I realized in reviewing that my ID doc had the results of a clean test in March and my CF doc had a clean test from me in June! (I started the Big 3 in December 2016 and have taken them every day) So I've had 2 clear sputum tests and didn't even know it. No one told me and I didn't know what I was looking at when I reviewed the results - until you all came along! I just took another sample into the lab earlier this week which I know will come back clear. I've had some brain fog lately - enough to cause a small accident while backing out of a parking space last week. I've also had some other close calls and am having trouble keeping things straight in my business as a Realtor. I mentioned to my ID doc and told him in light of the fact that I have 2 samples clear and that I'm breathing better, I am going off the Big 3 meds. He wanted to keep me on until March 2018 to "be sure" those little buggers were dead. I said - Not happening! I'm off now. They are dead. I know they are dead. So prayers that they are! I have a CT scan scheduled for early next month about 10 days before I go back to see my ID doc and review this CT with my last one done last November. You all - most especially our Mentor, Katherine, are the best! I appreciate each and every one of you so much! I will keep you posted on my final results, but I know it will be a good outcome. Blessings! Linda M
