Tuberculosis sucks donkey balls

If anyones wondered where I've been (not like i post much anyways) I got tuberculosis and was hospitalised for two weeks.

I got pneumonia last year which wasn't much fun either and the symptoms are pretty similar at first. I don't like going to see a doctor every time I get a cold if you know what i mean so i waited for about a month thinking i just had a really nasty chest cough but then i was getting fevers and waking up in cold sweats every night with all your bedding dripping in sweat (it's gay believe me!)

So i finally went to see a doctor and after saying how i thought it was pneumonia again as the symptoms were similar and him not doing any majorly thorough investigations i got some antibiotics for it but after waiting two weeks without anything happening they finally sent me for an xray and he looked at it and freaked out at my lungs. (I don't smoke btw) and immediately sent me to St Vincents hospital for blood tests and stuff and they wouldn't let me leave and I ended up in hospital for two weeks (so boring)

I've got to do a six month course of anti-biotics as well and they are so paranoid about TB that i have to go to St Vincents every other day and take about 14 pills in front of a nurse so they know I'm taking my medication on time etc.

All in all @ two month of this crap so to wrap it up TB sucks ass but at least i'm getting better eh?

How did you get it?

Have you recently been in a third world country or something?

Hey Jon, I haven't seen you in a while, the last time was when I bumped into you at Two Tribes earlier this year in the final hours.

I hope the TB hasn't permanently affected your health and lifestyle in any way. Take good care of yourself, and I hope to see you back in the scene soon.
