Thanks for your post. I really am clueless here,my doctor hasnt talked to me about this at all except what she HAS to say. I came home crying hysterically because I thought I was going to die.Its crazy! I dont know anything about the meds,and she hasnt scheduled me for any follow up visits. I dont know what side effects to even look for. Maybe I need another doctor,the thing is I really like her personality.I dont know,maybe I am over reacting too. LOL The important thing is that I am NOT going to die and I can still go to school!

I believe it is but my dr. said on a 6 month regiment I have a 65% chance of not developing active tb and on 9 month its 75%. Its so confusing because I have no idea where I could have been exposed.I have had tb tests in the past,(my father was in the military and we traveled overseas) and I never had a reaction at all.It makes me wonder thats for sure. thanks for your reply

hello I am new here and have only posted my basic introductory post. Here is my question I guess. During my pre nursing physical I tested positive on my PPD. The first one was 5mm the second was 40mm. I had the chest xray which was normal.I am now on 300 mg isoniazid for 9 mos. I have tried to get information about this on the web but its all so cinfusing. I am to start the lpn program in Aug.I did contact my instructor who then contacted the health dept and determined I CAN still attend class. I guess what I want to know is do I actually HAVE tb? all responses would be greatly appreciated,I love this site!

My name is Crissy , I am 34 and I am starting the program in Aug. I live in Ohio and I have 2 kids. My orientation is also in June. I think this is a great idea to help each other get through what I have heard may be the toughest year of my life. :chair:
