It's over at last!

Having had active TB since April 2021, I have finally been discharged from the hospital, after six months of taking antibiotics. I was very strict...stuck to the rules and took the meds at 8.30 each morning on an empty stomach and waited one hour before eating. I would say that the first two months were the worst. I felt generally unwell, not because of the TB, but because of the medication.

I'm glad it's over, but I will always be apprehensive now when travelling to Morocco and India, which are the two countries that I go to regularly. My consultant told me that it is possible to get it again, but unlikely. I can't stop my life for this.

I wish to everyone here....to get well soon!!

Congratulations! It’s a fantastic feeling when you’ve finished treatment. I too was strict so it was great to be able to get up and have tea and toast without waiting an hour. Stay well and enjoy life!

Thanks for your message. I’m hoping to stay free of it now. I still cough, but my Dr thinks it’s reflux.

You will feel a lot better off the meds. It is a huge achievement. I felt back to my old self and that was really good!

That’s good to know. 😃

Congratulations! I am on my fourth month medication and cant wait for it to get over. I feel anxious sometimes when i get mild pain in my chest. But doctor said that is a part of healing lungs and might take some time until it is completely gone.

I think it’s normal to feel anxious. Not long and it will be over. 🙂
