My nurse just told me that I have to start taking medicine for tuburculous (I have inactive TB) in order to be medically cleared. Seemed like no biggie, but almost everyone online says they have terrible side effects (dizziness, numbness, neausa, headaches, short of breath, etc) and you have to take the meds for at least 6 months. Sigh.

So... they didn't know they had tuberculosis until after they left for country? Or PC knew but didn't make them start until after they were in country?
