My Body and Me

Okay, let me make a few things clear in regards to my health, since people seem to have trouble remembering what I tell them.

A: I have TB Infection. This means I have the bacteria in my body to create TB Disease but it hasn't actually developed yet, also I can't transmit the disease to others yet. TB Disease is the horrid infectious disease everyone gets panicky about, it's possible that I can develop it, but very unlikely as I'm now on the antibiotic to kill it (more about that in a later post).

B: I had some moles looked at by my doc, she thought it looked like melanoma. We decided to take one of them off and biopsy it. The results came back negative for melanoma, my doc then gave me the choice between pursuing it further or just watching for further growth. Due to a lack of insurance I'm going to go ahead and wait a bit before looking into it further.

Okay, I think that about wraps it up, if not I'll try to get around to posting more later.
