Hi Donna @dc1950, thanks so much for replying, and for all your help. Very glad to hear you have cleared Pseudomonas, for now at least. Here's hoping it will be for a long time!
I will see the pulmonologist tomorrow -- we'll see what meds I'm put on after that. I guess it depends on what meds are most susceptible. Unfortunately I am allergic to penicillins -- had the beginnings of anaphylaxis many years ago. That limits treatment. Also, unfortunately I lost hearing (checked on hearing tests) with aminoglycosides -- and IBS was very bad so I could only take Amikacin for 3 months, maximum. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
I also got it in my sinuses first. Sneezing a lot, then, increasingly more coughing.
Q: Donna, what symptoms did you have when the Pseudomonas went down onto your lungs?
In the past 6 or 7 weeks I have felt like there is more fluid in my chest. And I need the salbutamol puffer much more often.
I really thank you for being there for me Donna,
Annie
