Windwalker. Thanks so much for your good wishes. I have had a little setback with the Arikayce treatment. After 10 days I spiked a fever for 2 days with a rusty/Smokey cough and headache that lasted about a week and a half. Pulmonologist wasn’t sure if it was a reaction to the Arikayce or a virus. He advised that I wait until symptoms subsided and then try the Arikayce again which I will be doing this week.

So sorry that it might be Arikayce. I'm doing fairly well on it 3x a week with lots if bad shortness of breath for a couple of hours afterwards. Best of all, no pseudomonas or Klebsiella in the October sample. I hope you can use it and it works for you.

@sounder27 All the best with restarting the Arikayce, hopefully it was a virus.
