Hi, I have severe asthma and pseudomonas infection for which I’ve been put back on Colomycin nebs following an infection that wouldn’t resolve, but did after I asked my GP if we could try a course of cipro (they didn’t try that first as sputum sample didn’t show pseudomonas).

It's noon on Tuesday and I'm taking my Jevtana and Carbo in Maplewood MN. Premeds were "pushed" due to a temporary saline shortage (broader shortage, or very local I don't know) no big deal, the nurse has to work a little harder, and I got just a little woozy from the Benadryl. Any others of us in this

While I was seeing my VA Oncologist during a scheduled appointment, he and my wife noticed that I was not being as responsive to my surroundings as normal. He listened to my heart through a stethoscope and then took me into another room across the hall for an EKG, where it was discovered that I was

I use my nebuliser at least 4 times a day with saline or Salbutamol 2.5ml dose's which take approximately 5 minutes to administer, During a 3 day stay in hospital I couldn't help but notice how much slower it was to get the same dose of medication from their machine, upto 20 minutes. Is my machine too

Hello, I have had PBC for years with progressive itch. I am an "incomplete" responder to Urso and Ocaliva (on both). I take Cholestyramine but in the past year the itching has gotten significantly worse where I scratch all night, am scaring up my arms and legs and tear the dead dry skin off the soles

Hi all, I am new to the site. I have PA from Postive IF test (first time)and B12 deficiency.

Update from last week regarding exacerbation. After taking steroids I am now taking my antibiotics because I have phlegm on my chest and lots of wheezing.

I have recently tested clear after several months of pseudomonas, in fact 2 clear tests but I'm really struggling with asthma and congestion, particularly when I lay down which is stopping me sleeping. I'm taking colomycin nebuliser twice a day, azithromycin 5 times a week at the moment, reducing to

Has anyone ever heard of/used ozone therapy to help calm down inflammation? We're in the middle of a huge flare up of my son's skin, trying to track down the trigger - his skin has been fire engine red, flaking and eyes swollen for multiple days now. The integrative doctor we are seeing is encouraging

I have just been prescribed 7%hypertonic saline to help with Bronchiectasis. Is this ok to use with the face mask on the nebuliser. It is very salty so not keen on using the mouthpiece.

I finally got my transcobalamin II lab test results and, no surprise, I'm extremely low. Since I lack the proper b12 transport proteins, I'm re-thinking my supplementation program and wondering if my lack of improvement back to "normal" on cyanocobalamin is because very little is actually transported

Hi. I posted a while ago about my 3 year old LG who has suspected asthma and her medication and inhalers are not making a difference. She had the worse year last year and spent most of it coughing.

I’ve had a few requests for me to report on my Lu PSMA treatment.
