Azithromycin

Im tempting fate here ( even though i dont believe in fate ) but since january this year and being in azithromycin ( one perday ) ive not had 1 infection or exasabation ( usually after christmas and new year i get 1 or 2 of these before the weather starts to get warmer ) im starting to look over my shoulder so to speak , i used to be a fast runner but i doubt i could outrun a cold even at my fittest .I'm wondering if anyone else does this ? I dont let it spoil my appreciation at not having a chest infection so kudos to my specialist for suggesting i try this drug ,i hope everyone is enjoying this milder weather and managing to get some nice clean fresh air into your lungs ,have a nice day everyone 😀

The picture gave me a laugh, thank you. Well I picked up a bug from somewhere and had to use my rescue pack, but this weather makes it easier to deal with.

Pete uses Azithromycin but still got clobbered with a bad chest. He’s doing better and now using the antibiotic again plus Nystatin for thrush.

You stay well and thanks for the picture. Good to have a laugh. Xxx

Hi soulboy got fingers and ties crossed for you. Hope this keeps you well for a long time. I'm still battling the last lung infection on to 3rd course of antibiotics now. Never heard of this drug so best of luck. Your such a positive person. Be well and loved your photo Mx

I've been on the same antibiotics for a couple if years now and they have made a big difference, I'm always frightened to say I'm well, I don't want to tempt fate.

Glad they are working for you too x
