Do you still have Pseudomonas? Or was it cleared? Mine is chronic so i have it all the time. My pulmonologist also said in that same conversation that an iron infusion would be risky for me due to the Pseudomonas. If you do have chronic Pseudomonas can you check this with your pulmonologist? Mine specializes in Bronchiectasis and CF and is in the specialty pulmonary department at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Also some iron pills may absorb better than others or taken with Vit C.

@irenea8. The docs have never called my Pseudomonas "chronic." There have been periods over the last 5 years that sputum did not show it but it always returns. Currently I'm on Tobramycin twice a day. I neb two weeks on and two weeks off. I'm going to send my pulmonary doc a portal message and ask questions and hopefully get something back before my early AM iron infusion Wed. The iron infusion was ordered by my primary so the pulmonary doc is not aware. Thanks.
