hey there

you may want to mention this to your dr. The last time I was in for IVs the same thing started happening and I thought what many ppl have suggested: the abx are working and the crap is getting out like it's supposed to. Once I learned what I was culturing, I said to my dr, "Gosh, the new bacteria I'm culturing sure does taste worse than anything else I've cultured!"

he then told me what I was culturing shouldn't have a taste and that the taste was probably from anaerobic bacteria beginning to set up shop in my lungs. he added on another IV (Piptazo) and the taste was gone within a day and my sputum looked and felt a little better when coughing.

I'm not saying this is your problem, but if you haven't mentioned the taste to your doc, do so.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Well I did mention it to the doc - and I realized it tasted like blood. (which is likely since I am doing pulmo 2 times a day and hypertonic). So she told me to get a cup and cough some up and she is ordering some vit k just in case. So we will eval from there.


So far my cultures have only shown a growth of PA (and I was able to give her 1/2 a cup of sputum!)
