Up in the air
Feb. 13th, 2012 08:42 pmI found out last week that I may have been exposed to active TB at work. I've been TB positive since I was a teenager so can't take a skin test, but was never offered any treatment. The Health dept says they always treat Latent TB cases... well evidently not.
Anyway they will probably give me the Isoniazid this time. Great more drugs with possible side effects.
Well, I survived cancer and chemo so I guess I'll get past this too. I had to get another chest xray and a temporary health card so I could go back to work Friday and have a followup appointment next month when I find out if I have to do the treatment,but I'll just settle on the fact I most likely will this time....phoooey...
I did post on this in my real life journal so if you had to read this twice I apologize.
