When I was about 10years old our class at school went on a school trip to Whitley Bay and in the mid afternoon of our day out my left ankle swelled up, anyway to cut a long story short by next morning I was in our local Hospital under observation suspected of rheumatic fever. After two weeks I was transferred to a Hospital in Sheffield that treated children for heart conditions due to rheumatic illnesses, after two weeks and lots of tests it was discovered that my problem was Tuberculosis on my left lung and after two years and two Streptomycin injections and 22 Isoniazid tablets twice a day for two years I was sent home cured completely and was one of the earliest in the UK to be completely cured
