June 11: I had an appointment with the ENT. It was a rather uneventful appointment, which is nice when it comes to seeing the ENT. My previous sinus pressure and headaches subsided prior to the visit, but I wanted to check in with him since I was having some problems and I had not seen him for about a year and a half. He actually said my sinuses looked good, which I had never really heard before. He also is taking me off Pulmicort. So as of right now, I am only doing daily rinses with no added medications.
June 19: That's today. I am starting another course of Cipro. Ever since my cold in April, I have not felt back to baseline. Although the coughing has not been bad, I have been feeling more junk in my lungs. But I have also been fighting fatigue. Last week was rough, as I was having a hard time getting up in the morning, not having a lot of energy to exercise, and not feeling productive at work. We decided on the Cipro route, which is always challenging to take during the summer.
I know these posts can be boring, but they are helpful to me to remember what is going on with my health.
I think that it is a great idea to document your health and status of appointments. It is your own little journal and you can write whatever you want to. For me, I read blogs to see how others are doing with CF and to see how people are living a "normal" life with CF. I hope you start to feeling better and remember to put on that sunscreen. Have you ever been on azithromycin? That usually does the trick for me when I get a cold.
