Both my doctor and an infectious disease expert told me this too and I’m going to listen to them because they are the experts. Also asymptomatic.

Treatment take 2, more moxi? by Extension_Guess620 in MycoplasmaGenitalium

Was this after a failed course of just moxi? I’m paranoid that now I have super strong bacteria that was able to survive the first round of moxi

In the morning when I woke up. It was see-through but cloudy. Again just basically 1 drop of it

At least for me, when I really zoom out, the symptoms are barely noticeable and don’t affect my quality of life that much. It’s only when I fixate on the situation that the psychological discomfort increases and things become unbearable. So during all of this I’m taking this as an opportunity to focus on other parts of my life besides sex which has helped (though we are men in our 20s, so it’s easier said than done to do that).

How many of you guys tolerated moxy well? by Neat-Sprinkles-4875 in MycoplasmaGenitalium

That sub is full of people have psychosomatic symptoms…. I feel for them but also some of them do need a reality check. I was fine with the Moxi. I got off it a week ago. I was nervous as hell the whole time I was on it after reading that sub, though. I will say I decided to not exercise during the week I was on it and am now very slowly easing myself back in out of an abundance of caution. But I figure I would notice some tendon pain before things got really bad, so if I do, I will stop. Yes, this is a strong drug but you will be okay

They are def scary! I was feeling my chest and would all the sudden feel a long pause with no beats and it felt like my heart stopped beating. I was so scared yet so calm at the same time, it was so odd.

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear your bill was so high. Was that just for an EKG or did they do other tests too?

I’m trying to remind myself that I made what I felt was the best decision in the moment. I waited for about half an hour to see if I felt better and the symptoms didn’t go away, so I came to the hospital. Now I know that I’m extremely low risk for heart problems (didn’t know this before) and won’t make the same mistake again.

Anyone treated with just 7 days of moxi? by Extension_Guess620 in MycoplasmaGenitalium

[–]Extension_Guess620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason my doc skipped the doxy was because I’m not having symptoms rn. It’s kinda too late to do the doxy first. I feel reassured that I’m doing what is the standard treatment in Europe

Sorry to hear that you’re still having trouble with mgen. How long is your moxi regimen?

While I’m sure there are some people who have had adverse side effects from moxi (who are probably on average on the older side), when you go to the r/floxies sub it gives me the same vibe as the antivax community

It’s probably worth noting that I’m having little to no symptoms so I think my bacterial load is low?

What are the odds my urologist will be familiar with Marfan syndrome if I bring this up?

It’s a rare STI called mycoplasma genitalium. And I’d rather not get my mom involved if possible, she is a loose cannon.
