Are you suggesting that you have TB? What country are you from? Everyone in the USA is inoculated against TB.

Depends on the stage the patient is in. At advanced stages, if complications (like arachnoiditis) have set in, it takes a lot of will power and courage to fight, in addition to the treatment. But in the early stages, I have seen people start feeling better with proper diet (protein-rich food, fruits, etc., to develop better immunity). Also depends on TB of which part of the body one has. Certain parts of the body require long term treatment (like TB Meningitis). Typically, TB attacks people when their 'immune system' is weak. So, as one improves one's immunity which fights the disease along with the treatment, one should start feeling better. Also, one has to keep oneself occupied not to worry too much about it, as worry can aggravate the mental impact of the disease. I'm NOT a doctor, but related to someone who's going thru hell because of the disease and doctors detected it late, despite regular visits to them. I'd say if we develop good and regular dietary habits, eating noursihing food, we can escape falling a victim
