Has anyone got experience of coming off long term azithromycin for a month or two at a time?
I've been on azithromycin for 18 months for bronchiectasis and allergic asthma. Consultant suggested I try giving it a break for a couple of months then starting it again. 10 days into this break I've got a hideous cold and feel wheezy. Really tempted just to get straight back on it again as I don't

can a too low dose of antibiotics cause probs in a copd sufferer?
My 88 year old dad got a lung infection two weeks ago. he usually has 500mg Augementin for a copd exacerbation but the chemist gave him 250mg by mistake. he is now very ill despite having a further 3-day course of Azithromycin which finished on Sat. can the wrong low dose of an anitbiotic cause problems

Is anyone else suffering from an increase of illnesses since having Viral Meningitis or Viral Meningio-Encephalitis?
Hi - I was admitted as an emergency with Mengio-Encephalitis in August 2011 and put in isolation for over two weeks. Since then, have been back into hospital four times: 1). Nov 2011 - I began a severe chest infection that four doses of anti-biotics couldn’t shift! 2). Feb 2012 - I was admitted

The shakes
Over the last couple of months I have had the shakes, even when I look in the mirror I can see my face shaking and my hands are so bad I can hardly write. I mentioned this to my Resp nurse and she asked if I was overdoing my inhalers which I am not. I am on Spriva Respimat, Bricanyl and Seretide with

I've just been prescribed Azithromycin 3 times a week for Bronchiectasis. I'm very concerned about the cardiac risks of this drug.
I've suffered in the past from SVT which was treated with ablation but still get short 'runs'. Does anyone have a similar experience/advice?

Azithromycin
I have been taking Az for some time now - 250mgs each day/or every other day. There has been much written in the techical papers both for an against regular dosing. The "Fors" advise that it does have measurable benefits in reducing the number of exacerbations in cases of severe and very severe COPD.

Talking about Medication
I guess I have taken most of the medications mentioned on this site but have settled (for some time) on Symbicort (three puffs a day) and Spiriva (one puff). Atrovent, Ventolin either as a MDI or nebuliser really have no noticeable effect. Also tried OnBrez but it made my breathing worse (like a lead

I have Stage 4 Emphysema
Is it typical to have a constant heavy feeling in my chest and also an ache in my upper back? I have attributed both to strained breathing muscles as my TLC is 204%. As a consequence my diaphragm is compressed and there is not much space left in my upper chest! I am just getting over an exacerbation
