Based on my MRI, I was diagnosed with Spinal tuberculosis and am on ATT since December 2016. I am still bedridden. When my 2nd and 3rd MRIs showed increase in disease, my doctors recommended biopsy. The first biopsy was inconclusive , 2nd biopsy detected no presence of tuberculosis bacteria. I feel healthier, my weight has increased.
