I did the medical exam for my GC last week. It turns out I tested positive for Tuberculosis. Has anyone else gone through this? How does it impact your Greencard application?

It’s fine. My SIL tested positive too. They just did a chest x-ray to make sure everything looks good.

Did you test positive for the antibody or surface antigen? It could be from a BCG vaccine you had when you were young. The US doesn’t have BCG vaccines anymore.

Need to get a xray done

I tested positive from a blood test. Getting x-rays. Did anyone actually get treated for it?

PwC1 - I am in a similar situation, and my doctor told me that I should do a follow up with infectious diseases specialist. Is that what you did? Was it worth it?

Thanks D2!

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I'm cutting back to my usual dose of D3 because I think the higher COVID dose is disrupting my sleep, but how else do you recommend shut down your mind when your ADHD mind won't turn off work.

Folks, why is this Boston Bowl so quiet (relatively speaking)? Is our community so small that we think there’s no anonymity to our posts?

I learn much from the conversations in other Bowls and think Boston wisdom would be good to read too.

He did try patches and gum for a day and didn't like them. We've been together for 14 years and are thinking about having a baby. Should I just accept the fact that he will get cancer and die while putting me and our child through pain?
