Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis requires at least 18-24 months of treatment with medicines which are 100 times more expensive and often highly toxic, and this treatment often fails.

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis? Shame on you because you did it to yourself by not following your doctors instructions.
Tuberculosis treatments and any treatment with anitibiotics must be follow stricktly according to doctor's instructions. Reasons: You build resistance to the medications and your doctor has to go to the next level ( a stronger one). This scenario repeats over and over until we are out of medications because you have build resistant all on your own due to your stubborness and ignorance. I truly hope there is a treatment available for you and you are going to do what your doctor tells you to.
My Dad is just like you (he is a thorn on your rear-end like you) this is why I know what I am talking about. (resistance speaking).
