Thank you all for your support and prayers.
We are still waiting for the lab results of the sputum culture. My new doc talked to the lab boss on Tuesday and asked to make a guess as to what would be the best antibiotic to use in the meantime. He said Bactrim. So my doc put me back on Bactrim 2 tabs twice a day. He said the lab should know what the bacteria is by July 21 so he can put me on a specific antibiotic to take care of it. The lab boss also said that it is in the class of TB and Leprosy so it will be rare and hard to treat.
I saw my new ENT on July 14. He seems very nice and knowledgable. He didn't want to do any type of surgery on me unless it was a last resort. He also said that the sinus wash out that he does is less invasive than what other ENTs do but still usually requires some cutting. He said the cutting or any surgery can trigger a Wegs flare. He put me on bactroban ointment to use in one of my nasal washes and also Pulmicort to use in my nose by using a syringe with a atomiser on the end of it.
I called and e-mailed my Rheumy but have not heard back from her.
