Well I haven't been on much lately because I have been going back and forth to the hospital.

Being a smoker of both pot and cigarettes, so naturally when my chest started hurting and I started coughing I thought nothing of it.

And when some I started losing some weight and not really eatting I contributed it towards depression and a bad sleeping habit.

But it turns out pulmonary tuberculosis. Luckily it hasn't spread anywhere else and I am hoping it stays where the shit it is but who knows. Luckily we have come a long way and I'm not looking at anything too serious I hope.

Me being the non-god-fearing man I am I look at this as a way to finally see life as something other than disgusting meaninglessness.

he following are at higher risk for active TB:

Elderly
Infants
Persons with weakened immune systems, for example due to AIDS, chemotherapy, or antirejection medicines given after a organ transplant
Your risk of contracting TB increases if you:

Are in frequent contact with people who have the disease
Live in crowded or unsanitary living conditions
Have poor nutrition
The following factors that may increase the rate of tuberculous infection in a population:

Increase in HIV infections
Increase in number of homeless individuals (poor environment and poor nutrition)
The appearance of drug-resistant strains of TB
In the United States, there are approximately 10 cases of TB per 100,000 people. However, rates vary dramatically by area of residence and socioeconomic class.

So where do you fit in ?

I am sorry, mr. Static. But I am certain that you will kill this TB, sooner or later;) My mother-in-law was diagnosed with TB last spring. Even though we were all vaccinated against it, it looks like the vaccine doesn't work for the 5-10% of the people. It also looks like there are new TB strains, arriving with immigrants from Asia and Africa.

I fit in with the people who want to say Tuberculosis in a very long drawn out pointless way.

Just smoke pot. Cigarettes are gross.
This statement is rather irksome. When you take a flame and burn a plant or tree or any related organic matter no matter what the smoke is extremely disgusting. Cigarettes and Pot are equally terrible for your lungs. Pot has carcinogens. If he has TB, and is having problems with his lungs, smoking pot will be just as bad as smoking cigarettes.

Basically, your health habits got you TB.

Well, all you can really do is hope for the best and that your life won't be tragically cut short.
