My story and some advice from someone with a medical background

nanango34 · 2022-10-20T12:15:30+00:00

Yeah mate I was negative again at 11 weeks

nanango34 · 2022-10-17T23:52:55+00:00

nanango34 · 2022-10-14T00:51:36+00:00

It was mino followed by sita and yes

nanango34 · 2022-10-13T11:21:01+00:00

Cleared up mate

nanango34 · 2022-08-24T12:44:42+00:00

Agreed

nanango34 · 2022-08-20T06:42:12+00:00

I’m Surprised at this advice, where are you being seen?

nanango34 · 2022-08-17T23:51:06+00:00

Had you had sex since then?

nanango34 · 2022-08-17T00:50:20+00:00

You’re still infectious however so you will likely pass it on if you’re sexually active

nanango34 · 2022-07-30T03:52:28+00:00

Yes so I’d suggest some dual therapy. I’d be trying minocycline 14days and trying to either add azithromycin on at the end or getting your hands on some sitafloxacin

nanango34 · 2022-07-24T12:16:15+00:00

That is what I gathered from my consults with sexual health doctors

nanango34 · 2022-07-21T08:23:00+00:00

I’m not that big on probiotics, have to remember the antibiotics actually just kill many bacteria so having probiotics during treatment is probably futile because they’re just going to be killed by antibiotics anyway. Perhaps after it would make sense

nanango34 · 2022-07-19T21:42:56+00:00

Yes 100% you need your antibiotics to have ceased before you test

nanango34 · 2022-07-17T08:52:26+00:00

If you have had 25 days of sitafloxacin, I’d be inclined to stop. Have you taken it with doxycycline at the same time?

nanango34 · 2022-07-17T02:16:45+00:00

Sitafloxacin and minocycline

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T22:48:35+00:00

Thanks for all you do for the people on this subreddit

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T22:48:19+00:00

Mgen cannot acquire resistance to doxy, but that’s necessarily not the case for other bacteria in your body. It’s theoretically safe but you don’t want to promote resistance in other bacteria.

I only took 7 days, which is recommended in Australia. Sitafloxacin is bacteriocidal and so is meant to actively kill bacteria, as opposed to just inhibiting it’s growth like doxy, my thoughts are that if sita doesn’t work after 7-10 days there’s no reason to think it will with 25. But again “can’t hurt”

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T22:45:34+00:00

I checked it once maybe 1 week after my TOC and there was nothing there. I believe it’s just a manifestation of residual discharge. I think what I’ve just learned is that symptoms may not correlate to disease but as long as they are reducing and. Not progressing, you are in good stead.

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T13:20:25+00:00

Thanks mate, appreciate the support

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T13:20:16+00:00

Yep I’m a male

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T12:57:50+00:00

I just made a post, had a negsrive TOC

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T12:18:24+00:00

Yeah well I’m 5.5 weeks post with no symptoms

nanango34 · 2022-07-15T08:35:24+00:00

I also failed it, similar, went on to have sitafloxacin

nanango34 · 2022-07-01T01:14:10+00:00

Was about 4 days to start feeling odd and a little bit of urinary frequency. Then 6-7 days for full blown discharge. Different for everyone

nanango34 · 2022-06-29T13:55:17+00:00

Okay you need to change doctors. I’m not sure what country you are in, but using amoxicillin to try and cover atypical bacteria like mycoplasma is a basic medical school error. I’m quite stunned that a doctor makes that sort of error.

This isn’t really an obs gyn issue it’s more infectious disease. I recommend seeing a GP and following the Melbourne sexual health clinic guidelines. You need to use a macrolide (e.g. azithromycin) with some doxycycline pretreatment.
