Thank you for sharing. My appointment is at the end of December! I was put on Cipro 8 or 9 years ago by my former pulmonogist. At the time, I didn't have any bacteria and I can't remember why it was prescribed. I reported that I had terrible diarrhea from it and my former pulmonologist put it down as an allergy so to this day my records show that I am allergic to cipro. I thought allergic reactions are hives, trouble breathing etc. and diarrhea is a side effect. But my doctors all think that I am allergic to Cipro (and therefore that whole family of drugs).

I'd like to try Cipro because that seems to be the antibiotic that is best for killing pseudomonas. My susceptibility test shows that my pseudomonas can be killed by a whole lot of antibiotics including the gentomicin I tried and Toby. But I can't tolerate inhaled drugs.

I have no idea regarding what gram positive cocci means. I hope you have a good result from the Cipro snd will let me know how it goes. Good luck!
