So my predictions were correct... My lung function is still down after 4 weeks of oral antibiotics so we’ve decided it’s time for some IVs. So the two week ‘refuel’ begins. I am currently sat in Treatment Room 1 having my IV test doses to check that I don't react to any of the antibiotics and can begin the two week course. I am on Meropenem, Teicoplanin and Tobramycin this time so will be 'hooked up' 5 times a day. This is because Meropenem is 3 times a day, Teicoplanin once a day and Tobramycin once a day. But 6 times tomorrow as the Teicoplanin is twice on the first day. Then when I’m not attached to an antibiotic, I have to do my physiotherapy treatments, which increase to 2-3 times a day when I'm unwell. This involves breathing on a Bipap machine- see CF dictionary page above for what it does.
Wish me luck!
