I tested posotive for chlamydia about 2
months ago and I have not had sexual
intercourse since then. When I went to
get treated, the doctor gave me a single
1gram dose of azithromycin and I felt
better for a day or so. But then a few
days later the symptoms came back worse
than before! So I went back to the doctor
and told them that the treatment didn't
work so he gave me another single 1gram
dose of azithromycin and a five day (2
pills a day) dose of doxycycline.
My partner was medicated the same way as
me the first time and she didn't feel
better. She was also medicated the same
way as me the second time.
We both felt better for about 2 weeks but
now we feel like the symptoms are coming
back! (we have not had sex with
eachother, or anyone else) they are mild
(slight 'funny' feeling in shaft of penis
when standing up, no burning but hesitant
urination) so we think we may be paranoid,
but we're still freaking out! We have to
wait for our doctors app. To get tested
again and I still have to wait for the
results. Arrgghh!
I've also read that sometimes bacteria can
"mutate" and become resistant to
antibiotics. I really hope that I don't
have some strange version of chlamydia. I
really wish that I was in better health
already.
so have any of you heard of this type of
thing happening with chlamydia just
sticking around and not being killed off
by the first or second treatment? Or is
the mild symptoms that I feel just the
result of having this sti and i'll have to
live with it forever (i.E. It's scarring
or something.)
knowing that others have gone through what
I have and feel better, in turn makes me
feel better.
Thanks for listening everyone,
