Yes I have, I wouldn’t worry yet chest X-ray will probably be clear! I worked in the medical field before all this Ra and other mess, failed a tb skin test and now always will but X-rays always clear! Latent tb exposure that never become active, actually kinda common but they will always test for sure. I’m sure everything will be good, here’s to pain free as possible days and Happy Holidays😀

No I haven't but I have a lingering cough, I've been on humira about a year now. I haven't had a tb test in quite a while. I think I will check into this. Thought it was allergies I've had 2 rounds of antibiotics, and a round of i.v. antibiotics as well.

I had TB last year had to take medication for 6 months straight and often that it was gone. That was the worst feeling ever not being able to breath I would get out of breath really fast.. I hope you feel better and have a speedy recovery..
