Hi Arlo @equanimous. I just noticed your post about Pseudomonas. If I may stick my nose into your Dr's recommendation, it is my understanding that it is important to treat it early so that it does not colonize and become chronic. Pseudomonas can become almost impossible to eradicate if that happens. I'm not sure how long I had mine but my new pulmo tested and the culture came back as a heavy infection of Pseudo. I took Cipro for 10 days and Tobi inhalation for 2 weeks and feel like a new person. I'm not sure if it is gone although it has not shown up yet in sputum testing but it was a minimal treatment. I've had Bronchiectasis and MAC for about 6-7 years if not more and have never considered any antibiotic treatment....I think Pseudomona Aeroginosa is a whole different story. Maybe a second opinion might be useful??? Also...be cautious if you go ahead with Cipro as it can have a negative irreversible impact on ligaments.....do not exercise while using it.
My best to you,
Kate
