pulmozyme

My doctor always said the same thing too----bleeding is a result of infection and inflammation. He finally started to believe me (that it wasn't an infection) when my pfts weren't dropping, and after two weeks of IVs I was still coughing blood.

The big clincher was when after 3 embolizations and still having bleeding, I stopped Pulmozyme and the blood stopped completely.

My pfts went down without the Pulmozyme, so I am doing it once every few days. Seems to be enough to keep me clear, but not make me bleed.
