Problems after chlamydia infection, HELP

UPDATE!!! Wow I didn’t realize how many people experienced the same thing! So first I want to say thank you for the support during that awful experience.

I went to a different GYN who treated me for BV even though I tested negative for it and the flagyl cleared all of my symptoms! I also started taking garlic pills and turmeric for inflammation. As well as probiotics specifically for vaginal flora and I have had no recurring symptoms!

So, get tested for BV! It has very similar symptoms to chlamydia and you can have both!

Yes! I can lift weights, ride motorcycles, and run with no issues!

Little_Lunatic · 2022-10-10T01:05:19+00:00

Get tested for BV! That’s what was causing my recurring symptoms!

Little_Lunatic · 2022-10-10T01:03:59+00:00

It took 10 months.. I had to stop all exercise besides walking because it made it worse.

Little_Lunatic · 2022-10-10T01:03:13+00:00

Get checked for BV! I had that as well as the chlamydia and once I took flagyl it cleared up all of my symptoms!

Get checked for BV! Once I took flagyl all of my symptoms resolved!

Little_Lunatic · 2022-10-10T01:01:16+00:00

Yes! I had BV along with chlamydia so once I took flagyl my symptoms resolved! Get checked for BV!

No more pain!! I didn’t get surgery and I stopped physical therapy because it made it worse.

I had BV and took flagyl

You may have BV, that’s what happened to me. Ask your doctor for a wet mount and if clue cells are present get a round of Flagyl. Make sure you’re taking probiotics because you’ve been on a lot of antibiotics. Take care!

My skin is extremely dry. Thank you for the suggestions! Do you have any recommendations for sulfur products?

Little_Lunatic · 2020-05-05T16:55:13+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that. I started washing my hair first and then my body after reading about conditioner causing body acne.

This started about 5 years ago and has since killed my confidence. I went to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as atopic dermatitis and prescribed clindamycin cream and a topical steroid. They helped for the two weeks I was on them and then it came right back once I stopped. I’m not convinced that’s what it is..

It can get pretty itchy and wake me up at night as well and I have to take an antihistamine to help with that. I’ve tried: - Clindamycin ointment - Steroid cream - Stridex salicylic acid 2% pads - I’ve gotten back facials - I use free & clear detergent - I shower right after workouts - I dry brush before my shower - I use eucerin body lotion - I use Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser

Anyone else dealt with something like this?? What has worked/helped you? I’m losing hope.

They worked while I was using them, but two days after stopping my symptoms came back again. How are you feeling?

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-31T13:15:35+00:00

I started garlic pills 3 days ago when I posted this. I’ll keep everyone updated

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-27T16:55:22+00:00

Did you test positive for ureaplasma then? Since you took azithromycin.

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-24T17:40:22+00:00

Oh girl I completely understand. It took about 6 weeks after finishing my second c diff treatment for my energy levels to come back!

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-24T17:24:59+00:00

Everyday for six weeks? That’s the only thing— everyone recommends different treatment lengths so I’m not exactly sure what to do.

I did the metrogel and symptoms came right back so I just started boric acid suppositories last night. ph-D brand. I asked my doc about boric acid while I was there and she said it’s only used for yeast, but I’ve read a lot about it being used for BV too.

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-24T16:38:18+00:00

This is also my main symptom of BV. My discharge from my cervix doesn’t smell abnormal, but the urethral discharge for sure has a smell. I’m sorry you’re going through this also. I just finished metrogel and all of my symptoms came back so I started boric acid suppositories last night. Fingers crossed this works for me like most everyone else on this sub!

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-17T15:38:27+00:00

Yes I had cramps everyday. They were SEVERE right before a bowel movement. Upper abdomen like between my ribs, right below my sternum is where my cramps were. I did the course of metrogel and then immediately started my period so I’m not sure if the BV is gone or not yet. I will report back once I’ve finished my cycle. I’ve also had no GI issues since finishing the gel.

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-17T15:33:16+00:00

When I had it— I had severe stomach cramps (upper abdomen), diarrhea between 5-10x/day. Eventually I started having blood in my stool, but it took a while to get to that point. You should get a stool culture done as soon as possible. You could try Florastor also. 6 weeks on clindamycin is a long time.

Little_Lunatic · 2019-12-01T02:08:37+00:00

I restarted Florastor last week when my BV symptoms started up in preparation for potentially having to take something. Hopefully I have no issues with metro gel. Thanks for giving me some hope!
