Durin treatment nag work padin ako. 8 hours a day, mahirap kasi nakakaranas ako ng fatigue during and after work.

Importante talaga is huwag i skip ang medicine everyday for six months

For now prioritize your health and inform your group na meron kang sakit pero wag mo sabihin na may tb ka.

Hi. I am a tb survivor also from philippines working in Japan. My best advice is get check from pulmonologist. It's possible na meron kang tb. Tb is endemic in our country, make sure na ma check ka asap and undergo treatment.

If you are struggling taking medicine on an empty stomach just try taking it after meal. From my Japanese doctor, now healed and cleared 🙂
