I just found out my father had tb back in 1958 and spent a year in the hospital, he is now 87 years old. I heard once you have tb you always have it. Should I be concerned for my family and myself?

Please help. I live in Portugal and I have TB. When do you know its really bad? I wake up and I cant breathe. I am taking Rifinah, 2 tablets and 1 Piridoxina everyday. On rainy days or if the humidity in the air is significant. In Portugal in the winter, its quite humid. I have no family suport. I am a separated mother of 4. Cant do x rays or analises. There is no money. I already know I am going to die of TB. I just want to know when my time is close and be able to prepare myself for it. Thank you.

Dr. Huey TB is infrequent in the US ? 15 million cases each year in the US is infrequent ? Yes active TB patients can spread TB by someone else drinking from their cup ! Remember food is a vector ! You make TB sound like catching a common cold ! You should know better ! I find you video lacking quite a bit !
