Amy Winehouse TB rumours.All those drugs are catching up with her now...
Tut. tut.
Oh, it looks like she'll be canceling her Glastonbury appearance too.
| Quote: | Amy Winehouse is set to remain in hospital as tabloid rumours suggest she is suffering with TB.
The star is said to be showing classic signs of the illness, including coughing up blood and a 'raging' chest infection.
Doctors are also concerned about the amount of weight she has lost, and her lack of appetite – also both symptoms of tuberculosis, which often strikes in developing countries.
According to the Sun, the 24-year-old singer has been on a drip since she was admitted to hospital after collapsing on Monday, and doctors are attempting to wean her off drugs.
A source told the paper: 'Amy is in a bad way. Doctors are still struggling to control her heartbeat but the chest condition has been really worrying them.
'She’d been suffering horrible coughing fits and hurling up blood for a while but refused to be examined. Doctors now believe it is tuberculosis and are doing more tests to be certain.'
Medics were trying to discover if the collapse is related to a seizure she suffered last August, when she was hospitalised after a bout of particularly hard partying. Tests at the time detected brain problems linked to drug abuse.
The source added: 'Things sound really bad, but at least now they have found something specific it will be easier to keep her in hospital and free from drugs.
'The word tuberculosis might frighten her into getting herself well. It certainly should do.' |

^ I doubt it will work sadly. She seems to be content with doing massive drugs and suffering the consequences. I don't think she will ever get to the point where she WANTS help.

sorry but I'm kinda sick of seeing her face in the papers everyday doing drugs or whatever. I have no sympathy for her,

I hear this morning that she has the early stages of the lung disease Emphysema but could make a full recovery if she stop smoking crack.

Well if she doesn't sort herself out soon she could find herself losing her voice and that would be a shame!
