Coughing up a storm

This will just be a short update.  I’m tired.  I’ve been coughing so much lately that it’s hard to sleep.

Today I called the CF clinic to tell them the problem and ask if there is something that could be done for the coughing.  They want to do home IV’s again.  I told them that I can’t do them right now because of finances and needing to get some of the medical bills paid off first.

I cultured pseudomonas again in December.  There is only one oral abx. for pseudomonas and it’s Cipro.  When I was on Cipro last fall I had a bad reaction and could hardly move, but I told them I’d be willing to give it a try again since I can’t afford the IV’s right now.

Right now I’m waiting for their call back.

  10. Sorry. I always culture Pseudo..never anything else. And if I'm taking oral abx, it's usually Cipro. But sometimes I'm sensitive to Avalox, and it's a Pseudo-treating oral abx. Praying you feel better and you can avoid IV abx for awhile longer.
