From what I understand, a positive reaction to the TB test only means you have been exposed to the germ and have the germ. The medicine you took was to prevent it from becoming TB disease. TB disease(the contagious active T  is very specific in it's symptoms. A minority of people who test positive on the PPD test actually develop the active TB disease. So please don't stress. I know it's a scary word. My grandma had TB disease way back when they still had to go to sanitoriums for it. So needless to say, it was quite tramatic for the kids. However, even though she had the active version of it, and the kids were tested for years afterward, not one of the eight ever got TB disease. As for FM and TB, I suppose that your body's reaction to a physical stress, such as fighting the TB germ, could have kick started the FM. Whether there's a clear link......I can't find anything on that. Top that with loosing your job stress, and you've got a bad stress combo there.
