Any NEW meds out there?

[Craig_d]

Hiya all. I'm a new writer but have been a reader for several weeks. I suffer from numerous health problems but the main diagnosis is ALLERGIC BRONCHO PULMONARY ASPERGILLOSIS (ABPA). I have been on a steady dose of an antifungal med, Itraconazole, for many years. I was a part of the original study program running from North Manchester General Hospital back when the Barcelona Olympics was on. I am under the care of a physician at the top of his field in infectious disease, who is now based at Wythenshawe General Hospital, South Manchester University Teaching Hospital. I have however not had a consultation with him for possibly 10 years. I know drug advances take place and I am curious as to wether there are any more Antifungals out there.

Advice and recommendations requested please! Take care all and I hope to build up a few friendships on here with people with the same condition.

Regards Craig (C.x)

Hi Craig & welcome to the group. I don't have the same problems as you, but I think if I were in the same boat I'd be asking my GP for a referral back to the Consultant for a review - he can then advise of any new & suitable treatments for you. Best wishes 🌻Christina

Hiya, I lost contact with the consultant but he did say in a previous email that I should bypass my GP and contact him direct. I have sent an email to him and am waiting on a reply. In the meantime I was hoping someone could give me some ideas, maybe some member with the same condition. C.x
