As an aside, don't forget to rinse you mouth or brush your teeth after the Advair. Inhaled steroids can cause oral thrush if you don't rinse.

The short answer: Yes, pain is common with lung exacerbations and there's really nothing to do but narcotic pain meds or NSAIDS. They are also right about advair, it is a maintenance med and shouldn't be used as a rescue inhaler, or on an as needed basis. I hope that helps.

I agree with Sara, blood sugars are a good place to start. ETA: As an afterthought, when did you switch to zenpep? When I switched, it seemed to screw up the works for a few weeks. Having said that, I would still follow up with a 2 hour OGTT.

FEV1 is the gold standard, typically. Although FEV 27-75 is important to monitor small airways. Personally, I do not like to use % predicted as any kind of benchmark as things like weight changes or the value set used can be misleading. The best way to interpret PFT's are to compare your...

Yes it is possible. MDRPA has been a problem for a long time especially in ICU's and burn units. Recently there has been interest in XDRPA (extremely drug resistant Pesudomonas Areuginosa). Historically in the course of things when you become very resistant to multiple drugs, colistin is kind of...
