I just started inhaled colistin, using a nebulizer. Anyone else doing this?
Inhale colistin using a nebulizer

Hi wlpitcher! Thanks for posting this question. I am hoping that someone in the community will respond that has this shared experience. :)
Hi wlpitcher... just thought it might help to tell you I was put onto inhaled colistin in 2006 after acquiring a dose of pseudomonas, and when abs like penicillin and ciprofloxacin no longer worked. I used to inhale merrily while playing a videogame online, Lord of the Rings to be exact! Anyway - it worked as here I am 14 years later, still relatively hale and hearty with no recurrence of pseudomonas since then. Best wishes for your speedy recovery!

Ian,
Frat to kill two birds w one stone. It is easier to do required therapies when we have a diversion, a distraction. Thank you for sharing your positive experience
