    That's some weght loss, Fist. Had a similar situation myself a few years back (not TB) and life's been a constant diet of protein supplements and such, since. Gradually fought my way back to a near normal BMI now, though.
    May you find that light at the end of your tunnel, too.
    Remain positive,

    Don't worry about the weight loss. I found and will mind it for you.

    All the best for a quick recovery as possible, but listen to your body and don't push it too much. In some instances, time can really be a healer.

    In the year of Covid you've gone against the tide and caught a disease from a different era. That sounds like your style right enough .

    Wishing you all the best in the coming months.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    TB is, unfortunately, still endemic in Thailand. I think they have a test and trace system for it and it crossed my mind that it was why Thailand seemed to be controlling covid quite well. But I need to check that out.

    According to what I read you get it from someone you have spent hours and end with kike a spouse. None of my family here have been sick. I have an idea but would rather not say. The first weeks were a living hell..which wasn't helped by mad bastids from the hospital. I was asked to go see the eye doctor as I was seeing people with orange skin and blue hair etc.(a side effect) when I arrived at the hospital we went into the main block and I was checking my blood pressure from a wheelchair..the machine wasn't working right and this guy get me onto a bed with wheels and takes me to a room closeby and leaves me ther for 2 hours..in pops 23 staff and tell me I have low blood pressure and the guy sticked a needle into the back of me hand and the pain is unbearable...he then asks me can I go to the toilet by myself and I say I don't know where it is. Without warning a nurse whips my dick out and attempts to stick a tube inside it saying I have an infection in my urine.....almost cried with the pain..I told her I know I have hepatitis which you get from taking strong medicines but water off a ducks back ignores me......then they want me to sign paper to commit myself in for 3 days...I ask about food as I have ust got my appetite back ...looks at me cant answer if they have things like cheese.....I have been on a drip for 2 hours and then the final straw another drip with antibiotics..the very same as my first doctor took me off....I told them to release me right now and tell my friend to come get me........we go home and to the local doctor where I go everyday for hepatitis injection and check my blood pressure and it is perfect....and has been every day since and before...only in Thailnd eh..before I left the hospital I asked to see the Doctor he never came just relayed messages to the 3 clowns.

    as for the Tuberculosis after loss of appetite and feeling ill my only real problem is shortage of breath...so far I am not vomiting but many do and have put on a couple of kg..I need to put on another 4 or kg to get withing my BMI now I am underweight.........having ridden out for years and practiced karate for 2 years I was quit well built now I ;oo like a ew in a pow camp......but they say you get it back within months.........so overall I spend all day in bed while my staff are working on a house I am building and feel ok but weak.....day by day mate I will get there....thanks for asking

    Funny I put it down to spoon sharing.......they sit in groups all dipping there soon into the same bowl.eat with their fingers a lot etc......could be their immune system is stronger and hats why we have very few cases in comparison.......I was living in Phitsanulok with a population of 66,000 people we had 6 cases ????

    Same thing happened to me at a Siouxsie and the Banshees gig back in '79.
