That sucks. Inshallah, the treatment goes well and you don't suffer from any side effects.

P.S. Were you just PPD positive or did the x-ray show anything? If the x-ray was negative, they shouldn't force you to go on treatment unless you've been symptomatic. Official CDC guidelines for healthcare workers are PPD negative x 2 or if PPD positive, negative CXR, and no confirmed recent exposure, then no treatment unless symptom survey is positive.

P.P.S. If they have a problem with it, look it up and give them the reference. There's no reason you should take that treatment just so some pencil pusher's paperwork is in order. Or sic my school's NP on them, hehehe.
