Hi jaxx553,

I would be suspicious of this too. If it has happened from time to time when your immune system is under pressure from a known source, such as a cold, then the logical conclusion now is that it is raised because of an unknown stress on your immune system.

I think this is worth discussing with a doctor.

Hi, Helen, Thank you so much, This has had me worried for many years, I cannot remember how it was supposed to be if It is Raised then that is TB if it goes and never comes back that is negative for TB.
