Today I made my third visit in 2 months to the doc about a dry cough, and sinus pressure. Previously diagnosed bronchitis, but didn't respond to antibiotic. So, I get a chest x-ray, which led to a TB test.
I go back in 2 days to have it read, but based on my own amateur diagnosis (based of course on internet research), it sure looks positive. I have no other symptoms, in fact I feel pretty good apart from the sinusitis and cough. I been getting these TB tests annually since starting Stelara a year and a half ago, and never had any kind of reaction, now I have at least 25mm of induration across the site.
Has anyone experienced this before -- is there any chance this will resolve over the next two days, and be a negative result?
My next injection is coming up, 5 January, I sure don't want to miss it.
