TB.....

We are currently chasing the possibility that I may have a strand of TB that is not normally diagnosed here in the States unless one is really looking for it. A wonderful tropical disease doctor from Ethiopia is betting this is what I have. I sent her a summary of the last two years of my medical issues and she wrote back quite quickly with her "distant" diagnosis. There exists a new medical test for this TB strand and it's "cousins" but it is expensive and complex. It apparently isn't done everywhere either. Researching all the details now and talking with my Charlotte doctors. Maybe we will get to the root of this problem sooner rather than later...OH LET IT BE SO!
