Dear Ehinoma,

I am glad to hear that you have completed your TB treatment and that your doctor says that you are clear of TB, though I am sorry that you have been left with ongoing health problems.

Unfortunately, TB can leave you with health problems even after you have completed your treatment. This is because TB can cause damage to the body that may take a long time to heal. Sadly, some people continue to have health issues throughout their lives.

If your health worsens, however, please go back to your doctor and ask to be tested for TB again. TB can return if it was not treated successfully the first time, or if you breathe in TB bacteria for a second time.

The best thing that you can do to recover and stay well is to make sure that you eat a varied diet and get as much rest as possible. It is also best to avoid things that can make you ill, such as tobacco or alcohol.

I hope you recover fully in time.

Best wishes,

Helen
