Has anyone ever dealt with tuberculosis? I volunteer at a hospital near my college for pre-med experience and has randomly screened and tested positive. It's a 9-month regiment of anti-biotics and supplements. No drinking alcohol, kind of restricted diet. Anyone had to deal with this? I'm 21, and this well...sucks..

Neverheard of anybody I know dealing with that, but that doesn't sound fun at all...

Wow, sorry to hear that, treatment sounds far from ideal.

i am pretty sure TB is very rare in a first world country.
i am amazed you have it or have symptoms of it. you're lucky we live in the age of medicine we do, other wise you would probably die from it. TB is a serious thing. good luck!
