Personally I think the Cipro can get rid of pseudomonas. Unfortunately I've dealt with it for four years off and on. I finally ask my pulm doc if it had colonized and he said yes. I've done inhaled tobramycin off and on for the same period because of the recurrence of pseudo. In early March I was on Toby and really struggling so I contacted the pulm doc group asking for help. My regular doc was out and the person filling in for him had me stop the Toby and put me on Cipro for 10 days. It was like a miracle. Each day I was a little better. Now I have energy to exercise, do my housework, run errands and best of all, fill like taking a 1000 mile trip by car. We leave Thursday. I am not going to sit back and think I'm cured because the pseudo may have just suppressed it and I'll have to deal with it again. I'll continue to do airway clearance twice a day so as to enjoy this feeling of freedom as long as it will last. I do believe God has his hand in all that happens and has reasons that we will never understand so I give him the glory. I surely pray you have kicked ole Pseudo to the curb right off the bat. Are you doing airway clearance? My first pulmo did not offer that at all for me. I did change docs and found someone who knew about our diseases/infections. Bless you.
