Re: Interesting connection, c.pneumonia and asthma

[Guest guest]

Hi Mike, sorry to disillusion you but I've been here done this

before.I have severe asthma and now bronchiectasis as well. Did the

antibiotic therapy for 12 weeks and it did help to start with. However

your body gets used to anti b's and when you come off them down you go

again.Plus you've distrurbed the balance of good/bad bacteria in your

body. My doc and I have found the best routine is one week on , one

week off antibiotics and Cephlasporin is best but it depends what bug

is in your lungs. Asthma is an absolute pain, the best relief for me is

with a nebuliser. Good luck June in London UK

I had pnuemonia which left me with asthma for 8 years. Turned out I

had adrenal insufficiency.
