Ugh! Just received a call from my doc that my 5/30 culture came back showing Pseudomonas Aeruginosa growth. He is starting me on inhaled tobrymicin along with my normal saline neb treatments 2x day. Seriously not happy right now. Linda

@lindam272 Hi Linda. It really stinks to get that kind of news. Please try not to stress too much about it, for most of us; pseudomonas is easy to knock out. The tobramycin and saline nebs should take care of it. Will this be your first time on tobramycin?
@lindam272 I just got my annual sputem test done last week. So, in 6-8 weeks; I will find out if any cooties have taken up residence or not.
@windwalker Hi, Terri, Yes, first time on it. I think my initial reaction was that I felt that my body betrayed me. After doing everything I can possibly do, I still have stuff growing that doesn't belong there. So frustrating! Hopefully, I don't have any bad side effects from the meds and can knock it out quickly. Thanks so much for the encouraging words! Linda
@windwalker Praying for squeaky clean results! No cooties!! Linda

@lindam272 I am sorry to hear that. Just when you think things are going OK.
