Ahhhhh fair enough. IVs are annoying, but by the time you need them, you'll be glad to have them. They kick your butt back into shape and it's like "ahhhh, thank you."q]

YES! After I did my first round I was like "I feel great! Why did I wait so long???" But I know what clues to look for. And I'm getting those same symptoms now: short of breath A LOT, not coughing up as much I normally do, and what I do cough up is thick, green, and tastes nasty (I know, gross). So guess what? I called today to set up PICC #2. Sure it was a pain, but I felt amazing afterward and didn't wait this time!

I was 21 years old when I had my first IV antibiotic treatment. I've never had a "tune up" just for kicks. I have only been on IV antibiotics when I was in the middle of an exacerbation that couldn't be helped by oral or inhaled antibiotics. I'm 32 years old now and I've been on IVs 6 times in the last two years. But only twice in the last 7 months.
