Bronchiectasis help please
My consultant wants me to take Azithromycin for 6 months but I'm unsure of the best dose. Is 250 mg daily preferable to 500 mg three times a week? Suggestions and experiences most welcome. Thanks all.

Infection
I'm absolutely gutted two years infection free and now I've have one. I know Azithromycin aren't full proof but I've done so well. I've had a different brand this time does it make a difference or am I being silly. Kim xxx

Long term antibiotics
Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis a year ago and have since had a chain of chest infections. It has now been suggested that I go on long term antibiotics such as azithromycin. I think this is probably the right thing to do but have a small concern. I wondered whether

Azithromycin
Can anyone tell me what the other AB like Azithromycin is called. My friend has been on Azit nearly a month he feels really well except his ankles hurt and are weak, he's having a scan and he's really worried they will take him off it. I said i will find out so he can ask his consultant. Kim

Gilbert's Syndrome/antibiotic reaction=very poorly son
My 17 year old son was diagnosed with GS 18 months ago, with several mild episodes and 2 episodes made worse by infections. 4 weeks ago he was getting over an episode, when he was given Erythromycin for a skin infection. Without realising, he was becoming very poorly and within a week he stopped taking

Diffuse Pan-bronchiolitis (DPB)
Hi, I'm new to posting on the sight but have been an avid reader for a couple of years. The reason for posting is that I am hoping to find someone else who has the same rare lung illness as myself.

Oh for an Indian summer....
Grey, grey and more grey I love a September when the sun still has some warmth and the colours begin to turn and the bountiful orchArds around where I live come into being but the last few days find my mood falling. Not many more days for us before we fly off hopefully to some sun in California . Will

Best method to get a good sample
Dear Gang This is slightly a gross question but none the less an important one, over the past month I have had a lung infection (through bronchiectasis) not my COPD despite being on azithromycin 3 times a week. I have had co-amoxiclav twice and still feel unwell and a little breathless and obiously

Constant AB and steroids
Hi all Just wondering if anyone else is like myself. Nearly every month for over a year now I have to take AB and steroids. I'm so breathless at the moment and coughing a lot, so I have started again my AB and steroids. I seem to be fine for about 2 weeks after AB and steroids stop then it all seems

Discoid Eczema/Nummular Dermatitis Advice
Hi everyone, I'm basically after management advice here, although I'll explain my condition first. I've suffered from a skin condition for a few years now. After the standard back and forth on the GP pathway, I eventually had a photo consultation with a Dermatologist who diagnosed it as being Discoid
