Hi Everyone. I was diagnosed with TB , probably active because I had fever and coughing for past 3 months. I also lost 16-17 lbs / 8 kgs over the same perioid. I do felt very less energetic during that time. I was rushed to hospital when I felt unconcious during early morning and was later on diagnosed with TB.
I am 23 years old, was studying my Masters and had no clue of tb before. The doctors started medication yesterday and I do feel much better today , feeling little more energetic , no side effects so far.
My doctor says your xray actually showed very less infection , almost nothing but ct showed more details , hence they checked for tb and they did find it in my sputum.
I am just worried what goes from here , is there a chance of fatality , not being cured. When can I go home . I have not been able to meet doctors after they told me about tb diagnosis so all these questions are just stressing me. They also collected 3 sputum samples from me today (3rd day at hospital) , is it a bad sign? I do not have fever of that extent but sometimes very slight fever keeps coming back.
I hope you guys are able to reply back with some guidance.
Best Regards
