I am hoping I do not have Multi-Drug-Resistant TB. Sputum test was negative but was taken while taking TB medication, so may not mean anything.

Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic!!
Since you have taken a drug regimen for TB for a period of 6 months, on an intermittent basis; there is a possibility for a relapse/recurrence of TB. I advice you to get a sputum examination done as soon as possible, and a repeat chest X-ray to rule out a resurgence in TB.
Best wishes and regards.

get a sputum for afbx 3 samples and culture. If it comes negative then it is unlikely that you have Tb, consult a chest medicine person immediately as you are having a medical problem of concern
