Coronavirus and GPA

[drz]

Hi John,
I'm not familiar with your whole story so what I say may be of no use. I do an inhaled antibiotic (Tobramycin) at home with a nebulizer. I had pneumonia and this is to help keep my lungs free from bugs. It has been working really well for me.
Also, you many already know, there is a desensitization program for sulfa that has a high success rate and is not hard to try. It worked for me. You take super small doses of sulfa in increasing amounts.
I was allergic but now I can take it just fine.

I tried the desensitization protocol a few years back and I was terminated from it on the second day as my throat started to tighten up. Other wise as I recall it was a 20 day procedure so I went on the monthly Pentamadine routine plus I take the non-sulfa part of Bactrim daily.

I have had several incidents of pneumonia and bronchitis this winter. Twice I was in-patient with IV antibiotics but no one has suggested your routine for me. If I get another incident I will ask about it as an option. The doctors tell me I get them because of my suppressed immune system from my AZA maintenance meds and it is the normal bacteria in my mouth that infect me.
