I was diagnosed with Ileocecal TB in 2000 or 2001. I was on treatment supposedly for 6 months but because of nausea and vomitting, my dosage was adjusted up and down depending on my tolerance. So, the whole course was extended to 9 months.

I forgot the name of the antibiotic I was on.

Assuming the TB medication is the cause of my PN, does it take 10 years to show the symptoms of the damage?
