new diagnosis

[flowergirl84]

Hi all. I am new here. I was told yesterday that a baseline blood i had over 4 weeks ago shows I am t-stop positive and have TB. I am in total shock. went to see my GP today but he has just referred me onto a TB nurse as he "dosnt know enough to answer any of my questions"

Flowergirl84 I have recently been in the same situation so understand how you are feeling. The usual process is to be referred to a TB Consultant or clinic but the nurse will know how it all works in your area.

Feel free to ask any questions. I am in the early stages of treatment so might not have the answers but there are others here too who might be able to help.

Please remember that you are not alone.

Hi Flowergirl84, Speaking to a TB Nurse is a good place to start - in my experience they are usually happy to speak to you before your first appointment. The TB Alert website, thetruthabouttb.org is another good place to get general TB info.
