I am experiencing nearly constant nausea, which is an expected side-effect of the strong anti-Tuberculosis medicines.  This nausea also produces a delirium effect. So don't expect too much of me until this nausea subsides. The 4 different medicines continue for 8 weeks (1 week already completed). They say sometimes the nausea subsides after 2 weeks, but not in all cases. After the 8 weeks, I have 16 weeks of a 2 drug regimen. It is also possible that regimen could make me nauseous, but less likely. My body does seem to be producing the necessary chemistry for me to sleep unlike before I started treatment when I was experiencing debilitating insomnia. Now it is debilitating sleepiness, nausea, and something like a delirium from that combination. I presume I will come back to normal health eventually.

Again this presumes I don't have a multi-drug resistant strain which is resistant to all 4 of the drugs I am taking. The incidence of 4 drug resistance in the Philippines is quite high at ~0.5% - 1%. And I might be under greater risk, because most likely I was infected numerous times with TB, probably dozens of times.

Unfortunately my doctor here did not collect a sample and culture it to test for multi-drug resistance and thus I can't know if I am wasting my time with these medications. Additionally my doctor in 2012 for my acute peptic ulcer had prescribed levofloxacin without first testing me for TB, thus if I already had TB then (which is very likely as I think it caused my ulcer) then he made my TB resistant to the only second line drug treatment for multi-drug resistant TB.

So in short, the doctors in the Philippines are incredibly dangerous for your health. They also destroyed my right eye (my USA surgeon said if I had gone directly to the USA, he could have very likely saved 90% of my vision in my right eye).

Stay away from the third world if you value your health! I hope I don't have to say this again! 70 - 80% of the filipinos are carrying a latent TB infection. The WHO hides this data from you! If I had known that, I wouldn't have gone here!
