Thanks Terri, I had my last sputum test Christmas week, results are not back yet as it was sent to our state health dept by the clinic, and they are slow to report. My doc is able to check interim results on line, and does so very frequently. Last time I had pseudomonas, he called me after 7 days, but when it was finally negative, it was 3 weeks to confirm...Approaching that so I expect to hear from him shortly. Because I am small, he felt in December that my weight was "still within normal range", but I have lost 20 pounds in 16 months, and definitely feel puny, plus even with effort I am not maintaining physical strength. If this is my new normal, I don't like it. Seeing my regular doc this week, and will see what she thinks about the loss.
