Yes,I was going to say I,m an azi now but thought that might be misconstrued lol.At my last BROMPTON appointment the rather inattentive consultant put me on azithromycin 3 times a week.Did,nt like this doctor much.He did,nt take any notice of what I had to say and his writing was so bad the secretary and pharmacist spend time trying to get a hold of him. , to confirm What he,d written.And wasted my time as well of course.He was also the one to tell me " no valves or coils but maybe a transplant" which does,nt make any sense.I,m fit enough for a major operation but not for having a tube stuck down my throat under local anaesthetic.I,m going to discuss with my GP on Tuesday.I,ve also started taking Co-enzyme Q10 to see if it helps me get off the pesky steroids also going to ask GP about vitamin A.Seems like nothing else to lose so I,ll try anything.I actually think it,s just the cold weather that,s causing me problems at the moment.Ok that,s my moan over for a bit,roll on the summer and sunshine.Happy breathing chums D.

Azi family.
Like you, I can't understand his thinking re the coils and valves. I've started the vit A also. Can't do any harm so long as not too much is taken. Apparently the perceived wisdom is 10,000 iu per day but no noticeable improvement for first 6 months. Anything is worth a shot. Hope you get some answers from your GP.
Oh dear Farmer, at least you have a chance at new lungs, which would be wonderful. I also am very much Looking forward to spring, the better weather seems to keep the pesky infections down. Wishing you well. Love Kin Xx
Hi farmer am the same can't wait till the spring and summer comes along I hate this cold weather can't do nothing but exercise indoors as it is to cold outside I live up in Scotland where it is very cold hope everything goes well for you farmer and look after yourself
Regarding Azithromycin, my consultant put me on it last August and I have not had a chest infection since. I am putting on weight and feel so much better. It has been a magic bullet for me
Magic bullet for me too Winebuff, just one infection in 9 months now which is a miracle for me
Welcome to our family Farmer D
Hi great picture thats how i go see my lung doc lol
Yer i was on them horrid antibiotics 7 days aweek FU### nearly killed me dont know why i was on em 7 days a week a should been on 3 tines like every one else
Anyway great pic nice to see ya and yup not alone thinking about weather.
that's the trouble with doctors they will not listern to their patients its the patient that knows what is going on by the way have you tried omega 7
Is this Azithromycin drug expensive it sounds like magic last year I had more infections than I can remember I'm on my 2nd course of antibiotics and just out of January really fed up roll on the summer, nice picture
My husband also takes these 3 days per week and has been infection free too.
Maybe it is down to costs and time to get to actually doing it?
