Oh Phil...how fustrating...but good in one way....no TB....and No more TB drugs ..right...Will pray that with your new Doc he will get to the bottom of this quickly......

Good news about the no TB. Are you seeing the Wegs doc you met in the hospital as an outpatient??

I almost hate that I was right because it means that doctors only went by your chest x-ray before making the diagnosis, and they knew you had WG so should have been looking extra closely.

I'm glad its not TB but sorry you had to go through all the meds, I think they have to assume its the Wegs now and get your drug doses upped again at the very least.

Luce,

I was told by the TB Clinic that the sputum sample was looked at under the microscope and it looked like TB so they put me on the meds just to be safe. But after it was cultured it showed no TB.

That is good news for you Phil, but the question still is what is happening to make you feel this way.

I just got bad news.

A very close friend of mine and also my parents and my brother passed away.

She was only in her 50's. My parents went over to her place for a drink this afternoon and the police were there and notified them. I am still in shock. So don't be surprised if I am not on here for a few days.
