TB side effects- Covid-19 day 417

Ale has temporarily stopped taking his antibiotics for TB. Yesterday he woke up around 1:00am throwing up and with an awful headache.

He stayed in bed all day, and didn’t eat anything until later that day, poor thing! 

We called the nurse, who talked to the doctor who said the symptoms were side effects of the medication and suggested two options: start a new treatment with a different medication for the next nine months, or give Rifampin another try in a couple of weeks.

Ale will give Rifampin another try. I feel so bad and helpless. I wish I could do more to help.

In the meantime, we pray and faithfully wait, believing these difficult and uncertain times will pass.
