A few days ago I had my chest X-ray done so that I could be able to use it as a requirement when I go for my visit to my Pulmunologist about my supposed Tuberculosis condition that the doctor told me that I have.
So I was prescribed with antituberculosis medication that I will have to take for half a year. The problem now is that this last chest X-ray that I had is stating that I still have the same impressions in my lung, calcifications and all.
Now I am worried that I will get prescribed with extra medication for a condition that I might not have. Yes I am thin and emaciated but I do not show any other of having a TB signs like a low-grade fever and coughing.

But I might continue on taking the Isoniazid-Rifampicin medication for another two months and after that I just wanted to stop it already because the said drugs might pose a danger to my already relatively compromised health condition.
This early morning will be a long one for me because my mother will want us to go early so that I can get in the first line of the queue of patients that will also be seeing the pulmunologist and I do not know if he would require me to have a CT scan of my lungs to see a more precise report about my lungs in particular because what was stated on the results of my last chest X-ray that I am advised to get the CT scan so that I can get a better picture or outlook about my lungs.
I may or may not go for the CT scan because it is an expensive imaging diagnostic tool because it costs around $166 dollars and that is a lot of money for me that I can use for my medicines and such.
I soon yet to learn about what will be the outcome of my doctor's visit today but I might also continue to take the anti-TB mediation and hope that if I really have the condition that I could get cured.
