Seven, what do you use as a diluent? I just realized my diluent is about half ethanol, and it is really harsh to inhale.</end quote></div>

I'll answer you Darb, I dilute my Colistin with a 3 mil vial of .9% sodium chloride. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

And very weird, I have the same BAD reactions all of you have with TOBI but I tolerate the Colistin just fine. Go figure. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Something else about Coly - I remember having to pee ALL the time when I was on it. It was very strange!<br><br>
But yeah, I was fine with the Coly until I started Tobi. Then I couldn't tolerate it anymore. Another drug I hated was gentamycin. I think that's what it was called. It was worse than the coly and by the name of it, I thought it would be "gentle" and soothing!

Ack, that does sound harsh. I use sterile water.
