Welcome to the forums and I am very pleased to hear how well your are doing. By the way, are you on cipro all of the time? I have never heard of that for someone as healthy as you are.

Hi, and thanks for the welcome. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I'm actually on Cipro/Tobi in 30 day cycles; i.e. 30 days of Cipro (while still doing my other meds) and then 30 days of Tobi. It's more of a suppression thing, really. I'm assuming I have strains of MRSA and PA that aren't really aggressive or something.

In fact, I first cultured MRSA back in... 06 I think? And I had PA in my lungs then, too, and my doctor (for reasons that have never been explained) stopped my Tobi and Cipro regamine. I wasn't on any sort of antibiotics for nearly 7 months, and my PFTs stayed between 116-120%, and my condition never exacerbated. I mean, I would cough stuff up that looked mildly infected (kinda yellowish) but nothing "bad" happened at all, even when I wasn't on antibiotics.

I can only guess he was wanting to see how aggressive they were in a controlled way or something. I dunno. But apparently, they aren't very aggressive strains.

I've always been incredibly lucky with "bouncing back", too. When I had bacterial pneumonia, I was REALLLLLY sick with it, my blood oxygen level was like 89 or 90, etc. I went into the hospital, was put on azithromycin and fluoroquinolone (I may be wrong about the last one; or it may have been some sub category of it) and 3 or 4 days later, I was fine to go home! My CF specialist wanted me to come in a week later, and when I did, my PFTs were 115%, my oxygen was 99 and when I went back for my normal checkup, I was back to like 118% on my PFTs.
