Oye, they test your sputum in a special lab for drug resistance — in my case at Chennai’s government hospital, they found my TB was resisting even the backup medicines. The new six-month BPaLM regimen they talk about is for certain resistant types, but it is not yet proven for pre-XDR like mine, where one key drug has already failed. Here I am, two years into a longer, harder treatment, watching others get the shorter course while I manage the old pills’ side effects. Baaki sab shor hai, but my life says these medical advances are a hope that hasn’t reached all our corners yet.
