Hey everyone...
I'm re-posting my original question here since we got a bit off track (that's ok though!) on my other discussion.
PLEASE give feedback on your experience with IV antibiotics and how you know you're well enough to go off them. Thanks.
Here is my original question:
<b>Hello, friends...
So, many have been following my saga with this recent illness and I'm just really perplexed. After 11 days of IV meds, I'm not feeling any better and my pfts are just barely up 2%. Blah. This is highly unusual for me. I"m still tired and still coughing up stuff, but the stuff I'm coughing up is thinner and less green, so maybe a good sign?
Anyway, I am curious how YOU know when you're totally (or almost totally) better on IV meds? For example, do you still cough up gunk, though it may be thinner, lighter, etc. or does your cough disappear entirely? Do you still have shortness of breath or is that completely "cured" by the middle to end of a clean-out? </b>
