New website for people with TB
A new website has been set up for people with TB. It is called Take That TB and is run by a former patient who spent four months in isolation. The front page of the website says, "This is a meeting area for patients of tb from patients of tb … for us from us.
TB can be a very isolating disease. Both because of the need for
isolation of patients until their active disease is brought
under control, and from the social stigma associated with it.
This website is made to break that cycle of isolation to
give us access to others even in our most contagious phase.
It
exists to give us a place to talk to people going through the
same things, to talk about our difficulties, our successes, and
to share with people who understand our fears.
If you have any ideas of things you would like to see,
feel free to share!"
