So, I just had a PPD test,
and I ended up having this massive hyperreaction πŸ‘Ž
. Now I’m stuck waiting for follow-up testing out in Springfield, and honestly, I have no clue what the outcome is going to be.
One thing thoughβ€”I was on my period during the actual PPD administration. Does anyone know if that could mess with the results and trigger a false positive?

Has anyone else dealt with this before?
The real kicker is that I need a clean PPD result because the university housing office is breathing down my neck for it.
If you've been through something similar, could you please let me know what kind of follow-up tests they actually run?

Thanks!!

I think they might just send you straight for a chest X-ray at this rate.

However, I did stumble upon an interesting article.

Pay close attention to those last few sentences. Perhaps you should mention you've had your period and are waiting to retest? It would be best to avoid any unnecessary radiation exposure, wouldn't it?
