I might have TB (Tuberculosis), what are some early symptoms to watch for? (probably doc's fault)?

by Symptom Advice on April 9, 2011

Hi so I went to a free health clinic just 1 weeks ago because i lost my health insurance. The main reason I even went there was to get an MMR shot for school because I got the shot too early as a kid, so it didn't count, and while I was there they checked my chart and saw that i didn't get a TB shot in 5 years, apparently i'm suppose to get it every year, but i've been avoiding it with my doctor until i lost my insurance. so they offered to give it to me there with the MMR, after a day or two i developed a lump on the site of the injection and it hurts sometimes, but i went back on the day they told me to come back for blood work. When they saw the lump, they measured it and took some temps and ask if i was coughing or feeling sick, but i wasn't at all. they said i tested positive for TB. I think they infected me, because I was negative just 5 years ago, but now after taking a dose of tb i have it. they told me to take a x ray and do my blood work and the results come out next week. I'm so pissed and so is my family, I think its their fault, is it good to give 2 shots at a time? also they try to blame it on the one i took 5 years ago and on other shots i took as a kid, but thats just bs. after the accident, i haven't develop any bad symptoms, but i 've been going to the bathroom a lot #2 that is, its not normal, it just comes even if i haven't eaten. I'm worried
CAN ANYONE HELP ME, WHAT SHOULD I DO, AND WHAT ARE SOME symptoms

Hi friend

Here is the cheapest web site for health insurance, I know.I saved 30%.most of the other sites that offer discount are actually scams.

I'm sure that will help

Yes, it is fine to give the MMR vaccine and place the TB test the same day.

So you went to a free clinic, and the doctors and nurses there that are probably volunteering their time for free took care of you. I don't know why you are blaming them now. There is nothing wrong with placing a TB skin test and giving you an MMR at the same time. The only time restrictions on the TB and MMR would be if they were not done on the same day. if you had received the MMR earlier, not on the same day, you would have had to wait 4-6 weeks for the TB skin test as the MMR can cause a false negative test. But it cannot cause a false positive test and neither one can infect you with TB. For questions about following up on the positive skin test, you could call your local health department.
