Having just completed 18 months of treatment for environmental tuberculosis I have yet to meet another living human being with the disease!

I would very much like to compare notes regarding the legacy of this type of tb as at the moment I have more questions than answers - the biggest one being why, if I am cured, can I not breathe?

Sorry I have nver heard of this. I would have thought that whilst you might be 'cured' there has been some damage done to your lungs that isn't reversible I am afraid. You migth want to give the BLF helpline a call.
