Share your culture

Just got back my latest info on my sputum culture. Not bad news at all. I figured we all could share what buggies we have shown most recently.


ME: Mild Pseudo A
Light serratia (no clue if this is good or bad, doc said its not a bad thing)



The good news: I didn't show any staph at all...which was weird.


Also I wasn't able to cough up any large lung oysters for the testing, a good amount of just fluid, with about 6 green blotches. So I wonder if they were able to do an accurate culture.


I still have occasional bleeds, but nothing explosive like it was a while back.

THe bad news: My doc said there were no oral antibiotics I could take, and wanted to know if I felt bad enough for IV antibiotics. Of course that's a no cause I feel great, but still have occasional bleeds. I'll be looking into the nasal surgery reluctantly.


I'm also wondering if I should start nebbing the water soluble oil of oregano again. I know when I was on that, my culture showed everything light, to very light. Which sounds like an improvement over what my recent one showed. It's just so weird to feel amazing, no infection symptoms, feel like you could fight 10 dudes at once, and yet you still have splotches, streaks, and occasional bleeds. CF sucks.


Anyways, share you most recent bugs for conversation purposes.

Little Pseudo... haven't heard about anything else

My sinus culture (when I had sinus surgery last March 2007) showed heavy growth of Pseudo and some sort of Staph but not the regular.. And I think a few things else, but don't know what.. I never go there anymore and I think I'm going to call them some time and ask about the culture. I hope they will sent me a print out of what they found.

Yeah I guess I will give it another go. Without it, I am moderate pseudo growth, on it I am light growth. Worth a shot.
