Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi , Sorry, doesn’t take long b4 getting used to common abbreviations: Infx = infection; abx = antibiotics; there’re others too that crop up but they’re the main ones, and of course, bronch for bronchiectasis. I know drs don’t like it but question them about your meds. I had a doc who just couldn’t seem to get it into his head I was not asthmatic... Have spent far too much on on unnecessary meds, but you do feel you have to give them a go, some not beneficial. Anything making you wheeze, I’d personally get an appt w/ your doc asap – w/ a lung condition you don’t want a med that increases airway obstruction !!! I don’t know Advair, so can’t comment. I’ve felt like a vampire victim this past year I’ve had so many bloods! It seems to depend on the individual dr what path they take – sputum samples or not, blood tests or not, or for what.... I also had probably 18mths continual infx since mid-late 06, then again mid 07 until last hospitalisation last month, but at last feel like I’m coming ‘out of the woods....’ joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
