Sorry I can't help you from my experience. Have you ever been investigated for bronchiectasis? The people I know with the symptoms you describe have that diagnosis.

Sputum samples do not always pick up on some particularly sneaky bugs. Some bugs need longer than the normal time in the lab to grow big enough to be picked up. Pseudomas are quite clever at hiding themselves. I hope they can get to the root of your trouble- insist on further sputum tests.
