April


What's wrong with April?

reply

I hope she isnt sick though her brother mentiomed a fever.

Didn't she have TB last season?

reply

The show is going on a hiatus till January after the next episode. I guess this is the cliffhanger.

reply

She has TB, they thought it was getting better that's why she accepted her boyfriends purposal but it looks like it isn't.

She has latent TB which makes no sense. The point of latent TB is that it is latent or dormant. I have experience with this and my doctor said odds are it won't become an issue intil later in life when my immune systeam weakens. She recommends clearing it up now so it doesn't debilitate me later which is what I did. If her latent TB is affecting her it is not latent or her immmune system is compromised for some other reason. She is too young and healthy for latent TB to be affecting her it makes no sense. TB is a treatable thing I'm not understanding this storyline unless its something psychological which is manifesting itself physically. I'm goimg with this explanation. She is getting cold feet about the impending marriage and is willing herself out of it with the TB excuse. The mind is a powerful thing. She may need to be seeing Dr. Charles

From a website online:

However, latent TB bacteria can ‘wake up’ and become active in the future, making you ill. This can happen many years after you first breathe in TB bacteria. Latent TB bacteria are more likely to wake up if you experience lifestyle stresses or other illnesses that weaken your immune system.

I would say you are correct, it's probably the stress of the wedding. Not sure she is doing it on purpose, but sure that it's part of the reason.

I'm finding her storyline so boring. I keep waiting for her to break up with the boring boyfriend but then he's proposing marriage and she's refusing, then accepting and now she's pregnant. But he's sooo boring. Her TB situation is odd and uninteresting as well.

Can you tell that I'm bored by them?

reply

She's pregnant & that compromised her immune system hence waking up her latent TB.

Her TB then could not have been latent, Latent TB does not become active because of pregancy. If she was taking medication to treat the TB at her age it means she had a weak immune system to begin with before the pregancy. Remember the pregancy happened because her birth control pill got neutralized because of the medication.

Personally I think this is a silly storyline they should have gone with my idea that it is psychomatic reaction because of the stress of an impending marriage then it would have pull in Dr, Charles
