I don't have time at the moment to read the whole thread above, but if you have had Lyme for longer than a few months, I understand that doxy alone will not kill it. The Lyme bacteria are by then hiding in slimy areas they create in the body called biofilms, where the immune system and antibiotics cannot reach without specific other meds that are sometimes called generically 'cyst-busters' by us the patients. Doxy and amoxicillin can't deal with the biofilms.
The next morning when I woke up, I felt like I got hit by a truck. Terrible headache, body ache, and just total fatigue and nausea, fever of 100.8. Went to Little Clinic, the APRN noticed white spots on my throat, said it was likely Strep (although I had no sore throat) but that it was too soon to test, started me on Amoxicillin anyways. I felt better a day after taking them and finished the round.
These are just symptoms added to my daily BD symptoms of joint, connective tissue inflammation, various GI symptoms, extreme fatigue, memory and coordination difficulties, night sweats, ulcers, headaches and low grade fevers. My question is, my BD is getting worse does that mean the meds are no longer effective? I have been told that there is not much else to use treating my symptoms. Please help.
If I suspect Mono, and took a 3 day course of Amoxicillin (10 pills) and developed no rash, can I pretty much rule out mono?
Some sources state 80-90% of those taking Amoxicillin with Mono develop the rash, while I've even seen 99% as a percentage.
I actually want it to be Mono, instead of something worse, but I'm starting to fear the worst.
Have any of you had Mono, been misdiagnosed with Strep and took Amoxicillin, and NOT get the rash?
t think I had an infection because everything looked good but thought there was something underlying to cause the fatigue so he put me on amoxicillin 500mg 3xday. I was on it a week then I had a day where I felt completely normal again. I woke up the next day with stuffy/runny nose, sore throat, aches & fatigue again! I am not pregnant so I know it couldn't be that. This is my 1st winter as an EMT running w/a co that services long-term care facilities.

Today, nine days after beginning to feel sick, I visited my doctor and was prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg tabs to be taken twice a day for the next ten days. My doctor believes I have a sinus infection, hence the Amoxicillin prescription. I did not mention my unsafe sexual encounter to my doctor and I am not having any outward symptoms of any kind of STD.
My question is, can you tell me what if any STD the Amoxicillin would cure if I did contract one from my friend?
There is no connection between amoxicillin and Hepatitis C. Sorry you relapsed. What treatment were you on?
She said I could possibly have mono but we would wait and see what the amoxicillin did. My symptoms went away. Then a few days later I woke up with a terrible red rash all over my body. I looked on Google again and sure enough the acute HIV popped back up. When I went back to the doctor again he ordered a kono test and a CBC test. He said the blood count was absolutely perfect.
Dear Grace,
Thank you for the being the angel of this forum. My problem is that I really lacked the basic education about many STDs. Until a year ago, an incurable STD meant HIV. Herpes was a foreign topic to me.
I did a lot of research in this forum and I kinda learned from your posts and those of Dr. HHH. I noticed that sore throat are common symptoms during the initial outbreak which explains the symptoms I had a year ago. Also, my symptoms now are even stronger than before.
I am trying to get my daughter to take Amoxicillin for a throat infection. She won't swallow the capsule. Is it ok to break the pink and blue A45 Amoxicillin capsule in half and mix it in applesauce?
This sounds like it has 100% to do with the Amoxicillin, and not Mono combined with Amoxicillin and so forth.
Amoxicillin can cause joint pain although this is not a common side effect, but can occur and should NOT be permanent, but temporary.
If this hasn't subsided, this definitely needs to be further investigated by your physician.
Is strenuous exercise contraindicated when taking amoxicillin?Also, is sun exposure a factor, and if so, how long after you complete the round of antibiotics should you wait before you are able to go back out in the sun?
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend within the first couple of days of taking Amoxicillin. Now my period is late and I am concerned that I may be pregnant. What are my chances?
I typically take 2 grams of amoxicillin before all dental procedures (and some medical ones, too) due to Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgition and a PFO in the heart.
I am currently taking a round of amoxicillin for another problem (strep throat, 2 pills twice a day for 10 days.) These will be finished on this Friday.
I postponed my regularly scheduled teeth cleaning/check-up, because it was only a few weeks away. I re-scheduled it for one month from the end of this amoxicillin treatment.
However I recently had a sinus infection and took Amoxicillin for 7 days. Here it is, 2 weeks after stopping the Amoxicillin, I am having severe heartburn again. Did the antibiotic have anything to do with this?
I also got the symptoms like stiff neck, fatigue and loss of appettite. I could only eat whenever I could relax and also could not sleep at night.Recently after 2 weeks the medication was stopped I developed rashes which looks like a insect bite at the back and 2 small scratches on the forearms. Just wanted to know does this symptoms look like HIV or its just my anxiety and disturbed sleep patterns causing this?Please do help..
Months earlier, during a flair up in sinus symptoms, I was put on Amoxicillin for a short course but it was not long enough to completely wipe out the infection. My ENT wants to bring in the big guns now and is using Amoxicillin and Augmentin as antibiotics for 3 weeks and is making me take 9 days of Prednisone oral steroid to stop the swelling in the sinuses, starting with 30mg/day initially and slowly dropping to 10mg/day.
I m 27 years old male. 3 weeks before I had sex with one unknown guy without condom. Now I found a painless sore on my penis shaft ( inside of foreskin ).
When I consulted a doctor she prescribed to take 3 Amoxicillin (500mg) per day for 5 days and a cream to apply on the sore but I didn't tell her that I had sex with a guy.
5 days not yet completed.This is 3rd day but I feel sore is getting dry now.
My question is,
1. Is this sore related to syphilis or allergy sore?
2.
I had sinus infection and got Amoxicillin for it. Had diarrhea, then a rash all over stomach, back, thighs, then yeast infection. I stopped taking the Amoxicillin and the doctor told my husband I was allergic to Penicillin.
A week later I vomited several times and had cramping (like the stomach flu) and now my forehead has broken out with an itchy ***** rash like poison oak! Could the rash be associated with the Amoxicillin or the Sinus infection?
is it safe to take amoxicillin while you areabout 13-14 weeks pregnant and if so what are the risks to your baby while you are takeing it ?
