Thank you Sue. I'm still new to this disease and Mayo Connect. I have Burkholderia cepecia bug which is resistant to many antibiotics. It was showing 3+ (sputum culture) in October and doctor gave me high dose Bactrim which made me very sick. Then, I had covid in Jan and I was so sick during those months. B cepecia was showing 2+ till March but no treatment. In May and June, it went down to 1+ and still no treatment. Doctor said it does not need to treat now but if I want to eradicate, I have to get an IV with PICC line plus oral. I'm afraid of PICC IV antibiotic having had bad experience with Bactrim. Not sure if IV antibiotic is stronger or not. I think I will get a vest this week and see how it goes. This B cepecia is very dangerous especially for CF patients.
