I have been TWICE WRONGLY diagnosed with tuberculosis. I
was diagnosed with tuberculosis initially, then diagnosed
with "atypical tuberculosis" then diagnosed with
mycobacterium chelonae infection. The treatment was 20 tabs
per day made up of tuberculosis meds and oral chemotherapy.
I was then told part of my lung needed to be removed. I was
then told after CT scan one whole lung needed to be
removed. I was then told disease in BOTH lungs and
inoperable. No mention of lung transplant was made. I
sought second opinion. Told the side effects was suffering
from medication were all in my mind. No both lung
infection, no single lung infection, no part lung
infection. No need for surgery or medication at all.
Turns out the sputum's I was told were positive were in fact
all negative!!!!!!
No tuberculosis, no infection of any sort. Also I found out
the following. I was treated for nine months for
tuberculosis in 1992. Found out from my medical records that
all eight sputa at the time had been contaminated in the
laboratory hence tb was never proved then.
No either I have been unlucky twice or ??????????(leave
that you all)
After went for counselling and more or less told it was just
a mistake, then told exaggerating, then told perhaps I
should voluntarily section myself as I have a complex about
doctors that I have been misdiagnosed twice is unbelievable
and so on........
No apology from anyone. I am so angry.
So I began my own website, built by myself, my own time and
money. NO SPONSORS, for built for layman- non doctors.
T B and U (short for tuberculosis and you)
