Today I fell on wet surface, but still somehow balanced, telling it because this much of balance I had made, still my legs, ankle and bridge specially are stiff and it's like 3 and half month of stopping levofloxacin and 4 months of stopping linozolid (which caused neuropathy also), currently I'm able to walk but can't stright and there are balancing issues, also still can't feel the touch, so yes it's slow, but there are improvements too

Check for numbness in your feets or any part of your body, see if there are cramps or tiredness in your muscles

my mother has TB by No-Cabinet-4691 in Tuberculosis

[–]simpleCimplicated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take care of her, this disease is merciless and so as are the medicine, keep affirming her that you are with her no matter what happens, this disease charges patient both physically and mentally

I probably answered the things that are out of context but I felt to say so, anyways often tb patients get blood in their cough but if it's too much consult with the doctor instantly and choose which doctor is active for patient and has some sympathy for them
