I'm hopped up on prednisone and levaquin right now and another question popped into my head with regard to declines and rebounds in FEV1 levels with abx....

What is your experience, in general when you're put on abx.?

Do you fall way below baseline, go in for cleanout or get oral abx and then go back up to baseline? Do you shoot way above your baseline and stay there for a week or more?

I know we're all different, but was just curiou HOW different and what we all experience.



So, what is your "usual" experience? Just an average of your highs and lows and how long they last....

Just thought it would be interesting...

Thanks!

My boyfriend baseline is around 94-95. When he has an exacerbation it goes down to 89-90%. He takes oral antibiotics during two weeks(never on iv but he was diagnosed last year at 35). After orals he goes up to his base line 95%. After antibiotics he doesn´t cough at all, (only a little bit after chest therapy but he doesn´t bring up too much). The longest he stays without an exacerbation the highest his fev goes (last one 97%). He has been without an exacerbation since january now. Between flare ups he is asymptomatic with no cough. We know when he starts with an exacerbation because he starts coughing again. Usually he is on orals twice a year. Have you tried nac? He is on 1200mg per day and he says it seems to help. Before starting it (before diagosis) he used to have a persistent cough in the morning. Although we cannot tell if is just nac because after diagnosis he started with exercise and chest therapy too.
