I Have Had Difficulty With Breathing And Persistent Productive Cough

I have had difficulty with breathing and persistent productive cough for almost 6 months. Also bouts of coughing up blood. Sputum samples showed Pseudomonas Flouresence. I understand that Pseudomonas Aerginosa is common, but my bacteria is not. I have been on 5 rounds of antibiotics. Nothing has helped. My pulmonologist wants to do a bronchoscopy next. I see him tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have gained almost 60 lbs. in less than 6 months, cough so hard my head and chest hurt. Coughing all night long the last couple of nights. Went through 3 bottles of different expectorants. No help. UTI infection now and I've been given sulfa drugs twice, but still have cloudy urine. Just gave another urine sample for culture and micro macro testing yesterday. So frustrated.
