I have been on Az now for a few years & I am one of the lucky ones...it has been amazing! Will I have to take it permanently now?If not, what experience have others had with regard to discontinuing it?

Really pleased for you that you have only 2 infections a year - great news. Lung clearance too - brilliant - best thing we can do for ourselves.
Re medication you might want to check with your consultant what she/he considers will be of benefit to you.
Good luck

consultants care for about 2 years, but as he said I was managing the clearance well, I was discharged. Interesting what you said re funding, I don't know one single person with bronchi, yet having joined this forum, there seems to be quite a few of us. Perhaps I might try to speak to our local MP (thats if I can locate her) This forum is a mine of information coming from personal experiences

I have IBS too and found it difficult to tolerate because of GI probs. The GI is a bit better (though not right yet) and I am nebulising Tobramycin 1 month on 1 month off and so my consultant is trying me on Azith 1 twice a week for its inflammatory properties to help control my asthma. I am finding I still have probs, although not the pain so much and it has reduced sputum and I haven't had a high temp since starting them - so bronch improved. Hoping the GI subsides a bit allowing me to keep on them.
Sorry rambled abit. The only way I guess you would know is to suck it and see. Were you colonised with a particular pest originally?

Az really popular amongst people who can tolerate it because not only does it have good anti bug properties, it also reduces the inflammation response and therefore breaks the vicious circle in two places.
Good luck

Ps sorry just noticed cofalot mentioned the anti inflammatory. Please forgive the repost! S
