I Received My The Results Of My 2nd TB Test And It's Borderline Again, I Have Not Spoken To My Rheumatologist Yet. I'm Freaking Out!
Has anyone else had this happen? I know I can't start treatment until it is negative.
I have no symptoms of TB.
Stay positive, it will all work out soon! You gotta believe. Mindset is everything :). Hugs!
Dr’s need to quit giving the TB tests and just do chest x-rays and/or blood tests for TB. The skin tests are worthless. Don’t panic cause it won’t help you. Ask for a Chest X-Ray and go that way. It will show if you have TB which I doubt seriously that you do. Once you guys have been tested for TB by their skin tests never ever have those again. If you came back with a true positive and it showed a very strong reaction never get a skin test again. You could have a very bad reaction to the skin test if the give it again.
Take one day at a time I'm praying
I had got a reaction from my tv test and they told me I had latent symptoms and they gave me medication to take for 3 months and then I have to tell only if asked when tested anywhere that I have latent TB, I don’t have it but I will always have a reaction if tested for it.
Were you ever around someone who had TB? I was but I didn’t know it until after the fact and I was kinda mad at the person because I felt that they should have told me, but hey it was a long time ago and nothing I can do about it now.
My Rheumatologist has only tested me one time for TB before starting a new drug and they all call for a TB test before I take them!! I see many red flags with this doctor. I'm not sure why she doesn't do the TB tests!
Hi, Newly Diagnosed With RA. Started Prednisone Today Which Means No Ibuprofen For Pain Just Tylenol Which Is Almost Useless!
Anyone Dealing With Unusual Anxiety? I Seem To Freak Out About Everything! If You Do, How Do You Deal With It?
Good Morning! Haven’t Been On In A While. I Was Wondering If Anyone Had A TB Test That Tested Borderline And Had To Be Retested.
