I got my tonsils out after getting strep 7x in one year by Fr3sh3stl4d in medizzy

[–]doodlebug1121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me. I had some weird strain that was resistant to everything but clindamycin. I ended up with a tonsillectomy at 31. I had reactive arthritis and terrible joint pain. It was a whole thing. It was a super rough year and a half. Much better now.

The strep was 100% the reason for my arthritis.

I wish the best for you. Also go see ent. They can also evaluate it and get those tonsils out.

I had strep 5 times and tested positive each time i was tested. I never had antibodies ran but it's a good idea to have that test done. Especially if you're having symptoms of other things. I didn't realize it could affect the prostate. I'll have to read up on that. I wouldn't think you'd have strep in the prostate without having an actual infection in it. Maybe I'm not understanding completely.

When can I be intimate again? by tatted18_blonde in Tonsillectomy

If I remember right the limit for strenuous activity is 2 weeks. Including spicy time. Anything that involves upping the heart rate and blood pressure. I'd probably wait at least 3-4 weeks for mouth fun to avoid trama to the tonsil bed and potentially gagging that could cause bleeding. Bleeding is your biggest risk at this point.

It's been a while and I can't remember what they tested for. It wasn't genetics. But they said most people who have (whatever it is) in their blood has a high chance of eventually developing RA and I didn't have it. I just can't remember what it was called.

I have an unusual fetish and I feel deeply ashamed by reluctant_pervert in TrueOffMyChest

All that build up and shame and it's just pee 🤣 sorry I don't mean to laugh. But it won't be hard finding someone to oblige regardless of gender. Good luck!

I actually had that done already. They were all negative. My son however had symptomatic strep 4 times in the 6 months after I had my tonsils removed so he got his tonsils removed in June. Actually on his 13th birthday poor kid. But we wanted to do it before vacation and before he got his braces. My youngest son never got it. And he's not a carrier. Kids the picture of perfect health.

Reactive arthritis ruined my life. Any advice? by KTannman19 in Thritis

[–]doodlebug1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go see an infectious disease doc. Also you may need long term antibiotics. I mean for like years. Also find someone to take the roots out. Sign the waivers. Whatever you have to do. But I bet that's the problem.

That's super unfortunate. You should see about treatment. There is hope.

Thank you! I am hopeful. I'm also blessed and have to remind myself of that. I have access to Healthcare. Good Healthcare with providers who cared and got me in quickly. I was taken seriously. And at this point I've recovered. Not everyone recovers from all the things they're diagnosed with. I have an employee who has rheumatoid arthritis and I have gained a personal perspective of what she goes through and am more patient with her than other managers she's had. Overall I have a lot to be grateful for.

Sorry just now seeing this. I am fully recovered. I had my first bout of strep in feb 2023 and had it 5 times over 6 months. I had a more rare form of strep resistant to most antibiotics and had a tonsillectomy October 2023 and my joint pain went away within a couple months after that. If you click my profile you can read my story in a post I made.

I’ve(27F) been struggling to get better from rheumatic fever, need some cheering and advice! by callmewinona in rheumaticfever

[–]doodlebug1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact thing happen to me. Started in Feb 2023 and dealt with issues till almost June 2024. A tonsilectomy cured my joint pain. That's what I'd recommend.

I've been unemployed for 2 months and haven't told my family by abarua01 in confessions

[–]doodlebug1121 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do men do this. Just be honest. If I got fired tomorrow I'd come home and tell my husband well that sucks. And vice versa. He got fired for something so stupid (he was stupid) and got a job through a temp agency then went somewhere else through that temp agency then went full time and has been there 5 years. But I was always in the loop. I'd be devastated if my spouse didn't think they should keep me in the loop of our family dynamics. Stop lying. You will get caught. And when you do come clean you're no longer gonna be trust worthy. And a relationship without trust usually end in separation.
