This is my 4th Pik. line in less than 10 mos. Three weeks this time w fanny pack and medicine ball pumping continuously for 22 hrs a day.
Still non stop mucas 24/7. though had. medicine so far 5 days. Is this normal? My life is reduced to trying to wrap and rewrap my arm to take a shower w out getting the pik line wet.
Had to go. back to UCD twice so far as it got wet,had to change dressing.
Nausea, weak, diahrea.
The. drug is Cephladizine I think.
Any advise appreciated.
The only way i can get the mucas out of my lungs twice a day using the AFFLO vest and then saline nebulizer is to shower. Does anyone else have a better solution?
Pls write me as i am really down.
Ucd said it was rare for someone to have to have a pik 4 x's in a few. mos.
Yet my immunologist said due to my compromised immune disorder he does not want me to. have a PORT, yet cancer patients w no immunity have them.
I have Broncheictasis and Compromised Immune Disorder and two Rs: one is an Immunologist the other is a Pulmonary Dr. Both are excellent.
Any advise appreciated today.
