Hello all....Its been awhile since I posted ...seems the 2 stays at the
hospital and home nIV therapy has ridded me of mrsa  thats a good thing
...the last hospital stay I was given zyvox, avalox and medral while there
through IV for 7 days then pill form of zyvox , avalox , and prednisone for
an additional 10 days ..after which prednisone reduced to 40 mg daily with
no other drugs....thw breathing for the next 4 weeks was free flowing with
no problems then I started to congest which increased over the next couple
weeks to where I'm at now....I need to use mucomyst and duoneb every 4 to 5
hours or I'm unable to clear lungs of thick mucous that is slightly yellow
but tests show all normal in sputem...My doc put me back on bactrim ds for a
week didn't help then  on avalox 10 days that I'm 6 days into with no
change....the neb drugs enable me to clear and breath ok for about 4 hours
However lungs wake  me up at nite due to congestion.....My question remains
Why do I get such long term clearing when using zyvox, unless there is
bacteria.....But then also why does sputum test show nothing abnormal????
