    article about a case of pseudo transferred to non-CF parents

    Does he see a pulmonologist? If not, maybe convincing him to have an appt with one would be a start. He could get PFTs too, which would be good. Ask him if he might at least ask the pulmo about getting a culture. It is amazing how the broad spectrum antibiotics have changed how most...

    Low Blood Pressure when sick?

    When I'm sick, I get way more head rushes if I squat or sit or suddenly exert myself, and my heart races while the tunnel vision is fixing itself--I guess trying to redistribute the blood better. I don't know why that happens to me, but my BP is on the low side to begin with. Once when I was...

    article about a case of pseudo transferred to non-CF parents

    That's an interesting and scary point, though I think this strain was pretty unique, and the article discussed that the parents were involved in her CPT routine--also that the mom w/o bronchiectasis may have had pre-existing but sub-radiological lung damage. Definitely chalk it up to being a...

    Pseudomonas treatment

    My pulmonologist put me on 500 mg 2x a day for 10 days and no Tobi. The short duration/single abx makes me nervous in the other direction from what's worrying you. Is it too little? Or is it appropriate because I don't have CF/CF mucus and haven't been on abx in about a year? I donno, it...

    pseudomonas question

    Thanks, yes, that helps. The neutrophil thing makes sense, and I think my primary care dr explained it that way. Your suspicion that the pseudo has been in my lungs for a while makes sense with the 5% drop in FEV1 each yr for the past three years And then back when I was feeling more awful...
