Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about this increased ESR that you have reported. Tuberculosis is present all around the world and no one would and should throw you out better you have tuberculosis. What needs to be done I to strongly consider you for treatment and monitor this over time. Have you started treatment already? Do you have any other symptoms as such as night fevers, sweating, fatigue, anorexia, etc.? There is no reason to worry, no one would send you away. Follow through and get treatment for the TB as it seems to be active!


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
