disease medicine treatment tuberculosis

TB&ME is a collaborative blogging project by patients being treated for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in locations all around the world by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). They are writing about their experiences of living with MDR-TB and the treatment that they receive. This treatment can often involve taking upwards of 20 pills a day for 24 months and suffering many painful side effects from the toxic drugs.

TB&ME has been launched because MDR-TB is a neglected disease. Very little money has been put into the research and development of diagnostics or new, improved treatment and people who are infected by the disease have no option but to take drugs which are painful and leave them feeling weak every day for a very long time. TB&ME gives MDR-TB patients an opportunity to tell the world about the issues which affect their lives, about how treatment and services could be improved and how it feels to have this disease.

It also provides an opportunity for patients to tell the world that MDR-TB exists in their own words, that it is a global problem and to share their experiences with others who might be in the same position.All Rights Reserved

BILY by anoceanswan

Sebuah pertanyaan yang belum aku temukan jawabannya, mengapa sesal selalu dijumpai di akhir? Pun untuk sesuatu yang menjadi berharga ketika telah tiada. Tak terkecuali sebuah ketulusan. Ia tak akan pernah berarti sebelum ia mati. Lantas seberapa berarti aku untukmu? Teruntuk Mama, Rafi, Atya, dan Mentari, terimakasih karena tak pernah sedetik pun membiarkanku merasa tak berarti. Terimakasih kepada orang-orang yang berharap kebaikan untukku. Juga kamu, seseorang yang menunjukkan bagaimana untuk menjadi hebat versi terbaik dari diri sendiri. Pun memberikan cinta dengan cara yang tak biasa. Sehingga entah bagaimana, bisakah aku menempati ruang relung hatimu yang begitu luas. Berbahagialah. Sebagaimana bentuk balasan atas ketulusan yang telah diberikan kepadamu. Dari aku, yang tak pernah berhenti mencintaimu. Beilyne Rasi Elbhanu

"We're here for you, whatever you need," Dr. Clifford tells me. She was the only light in my life, but now I have the four of them as well.

HAQ SE : JUZZBAATT by RNpoint1857

Introduction : 'Trust'! 'Faith'! 'Belief'! have these words ceased to exist? Can't we trust someone without worrying about all negative things? Can't we lay our faith in someone? Belief, is it that difficult to believe someone today? It takes years to finally believe someone but moments to break the trust! And especially when you are already heartbroken! What if that finally that you begin to trust someone, you again go through a heartbreak? What juzzbaatt would you go through at that moment - anger; sorrow? Can't people understand the 'juzzbaatt' behind believing someone? Can't they understand the 'juzzbaatt' that person might go through during and after you break the person's trust? How easy is it to break someone's trust and ruin their juzzbaatt? How difficult is it to understand someone's juzzbaatt of helplessness? How to put the juzzbaatt that you go through as you discover a truth, into words? How to control the chaos of juzzbaatt during that moment? Meherunissa and Naushad go through few moments in their lives where their juzzbaatt(s) overflow but they go almost numb! Let's know why! ©RNpoint1857 2018 #1 in 'Webseries' category as on 29.5.2018

Manic✔️ by BreBangtan

You're alone in a new city on a new job, running from your old life. An accredited Psychiatrist takes on a new set of patients, one of which stands out from the rest. He's sexy, intelligent, charismatic, and maybe a little bit dangerous. But before you know it, you're already in too deep... *2018* SMUT WARNING ⚠️ VERY VERY EXPLICIT sexual content will likely be included in various chapters so readers' discretion is advised. Not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Also, mature content concerning (NOT GLORIFYING) mental illness, domestic abuse, drug abuse, and violence. If you are triggered by any of those things, please please please do not read this book. It's about healing overall but I don't want to upset anyone by bringing back a traumatic experience.

Emily was suffocating. And it wasn't getting any easier. Four doctors. One best friend. Not even they could stop her from drowning. They had the last time, and the time before, but this time it was different. She asked herself these questions so much, but pushed the most important to the back of her head.
