There are only about a handful of iv antibiotics used for Cystic Fibrosis infections and infections of people w Bronchiectasis like me.
I am now having back to back lung infections of Pseudomonas, Ralston Picketti and many more. I believe i am no longer sensitive to any of the iv drugs in the Cefta... class. several there.. and Cipro is not working that well either, and have taken Meropenum several times.
My pulmonary dr. actually threw up her hands and said she needs help as she does not know what else to do for me as I am now gettting back to back lung in fections with not even a day or two in between it seems.
IF she doesn't know what to do then what will happen to me. My immunologist is now. saying the same thing and he suggested may UCSF or Stanfordk or. the Jewish Hospital in Denver for lungs but i have an old car and am 78 on ss and my car would not make those long trips. 2 hrs or more and the Denver hospital requires a hotel and air fair at least.
But it seems no one in Sacramento, cA. can help me and I am afraid i will soon be immune to the antibiotics they r giving me and then they will give me nothing and what happens to u. then w a raging lung infection. I have a PORT and got it so it would be easier all around but now I don
t know what will happen to me.. this. not a good prognosis.
