So as Ive mentioned not long ago I had a drop in my PFTs and I was started on Keflex and it is my on month for Cayston so they used that combo to treat what they think is a brewing infection.
I just went back to the dr and my PFTs are up but only by 5%, andI have 10% to gain to be back to where they want me to be (75%)and they continued my Keflex for another week and also told me I should start doing Tobi on my off month of Cayston.
I am curious who has used Tobi while pregnant. In the past I have only used it when I was sick, which is probably while Im not very comfortable using it on a regular basis.
When I think Tobi all I can do it worry. I know the inhaled meds arent as concentrated as IV and im very certain that unless im on my death bed ( that might beover reacting a bit lol, butI just feel very strongly about the IV form)that I would not ok IV tobi. But I am faced with the tough choice of using the inhaled Tobi to help keep my bugs under control.
Ive got 2 weeks to decide, and my husband is pushing me to do it, which in so many ways is frustrating because I feel like he just hears what the doctors suggest, and Im not always for jumping at the first thing the doctors say to do just because they say so. They are trying to convince me by saying that they have used it on all of their other pregnant CF patients and have had no side effects on the children that they know of.
Blah, its just overwhelming to try and decide what is better for me and the baby and what risks are better to take to prevent a possible worse situation.
