Ive Been Under Stress

On 01/21/2016 at 06:35 PM by Nicoleb1989

I recently started back to school. During it, I had to get a TB skin test. TB skin test checks for Tuberculosis. Guess who got a positive reading?.....yes, I did. The good thing, it isn't in my lungs. I'm not contiguous and can spread it nor am I severally sick. This was a scary time for me. If I had been contiguous I wouldn't have been able to continue school and graduate which I will do tomorrow. I still have to so the state licensing for my CNA but school is done. I have to take 2 pills for 9 months with should keep in check and get rid of it. Worse case, I get severally sick and need more medicine. I'm hoping for option A. Anywho that has been my life. I've played games here and there to keep my mind busy.

I'm sorry to hear that Nicole. I hope you get better. Are there any symptoms that are annoying? :(

At least you found out sooner rather than later, and hope for the best case scenario!

Very true, it was better to know now. Just a shock to the system. Thank you

I know the fear. I've had to take TB test to apply for school jobs in the past and I just felt dread and anxiety through the whole process. Keep your spirits up! Hope you feel better!

Sorry to hear that. Now I'm worried about myself. I should get tested just in case.

I'd say yes, you can get it from anyone and while you might not show symptoms of it, it can still be there. I'm hoping though you don't have it and your healthy as can be.

I'm getting tested again in a few months for Lyme disease for the same reason. You can test negative for it, but it can be lurking there still. I'm pretty convinced I don't have TB but I'm going to mention it to my Dr. and see if he thinks it's worth a test. Or maybe I'll panic next week and go to a clinic for a test anyway. I hope treatment goes well for you.

Thank you Joe, I'm taking my meds so hopefully it all goes smooth. I've been playing Yokai Watch and I started Ace Atternoy Trilogy on 3DS and on console I've been playing mostly Dragon Age Inquisition.
