Avatar m tn About 2 months ago, I felt a tingling sensation in my testicles, only for a moment, then 2 days later it came back, 4 days later it became constant. Nothing hurt, just small tingling. I usually didn't feel it except when I would lay down to sleep and be calm. About a week later it grew and at week 2 it stopped. I had no swelling, no lumps anywhere, no redness, nothing. Then about 4-5 days after it stopped, it started up again.
471161 tn?1317190950 I too was told by my rheumy a year ago to stay out of the sun, when I was first diagnosed. I'm an outdoor person with a perpetual tan and never burn. I can always be found working in the yard, or in the pool in the summer. Last summer I stayed out of the sun from July on because of his warning. Recently I asked my PCP why I needed to stay out of the sun, what would happen if I didn't, etc?.
Avatar m tn Try to avoid the SUN! Use DOVE soap bar on your face, dont use other then that, try to just get used to it just like medicine. Don't use any cheap face scrub or soap as it can damage your skin and give you side effects (contains chemicals). Sometimes use tomato on your face;cut a tomato in half and rub onto skin, face, hands, feet etc, but don't go in the sun and be sure its a very red coloured tomatoe and not cheap from tesco's or any other supermarket.
Avatar f tn I have the same symtoms..and under active thyroid. I love the sun and outdoor events, but I get soooo drained and tired. I drink plenty of water and I sleep great..dont make sence? I take Synthroid and my dr say my thyroid levels are fine. I guess I just have to pace myself?
640719 tn?1277140030 I too have the tingly burning sensation after 10 days on doxy and being at beach for one hr.. its on the tops of my hands and feet! If you don't want this feeling don t go in the sun! And I don't burn from the sun.. just finished meds today was on it for an abscecc brewing in my neck.. so I don't think its lyme disease related...
Avatar m tn The next day I went back to the hospital for both test and came back for the results the next day and they both came back negative. The tests were done 26 to 27 days from my last sexual contact. I have just finish the treatment for gonorrhea after finishing the prescribed 5 day dosage of azithromycin. After further reading on azithromycin in the internet, I stumbled upon some people saying including in this forums that taking azithromycin can affect the vdrl for syphilis.
Avatar m tn 0 grams (4 500 mg pills) taken at one time is just as effective as penicillin for syphilis treatment however, there are some cases of treatment failures with azithromycin for syphilis treatment and many of the treatment failures have come from San Francisco where you apparently live. Thus this is a matter of concern. While many people will be cured by therapy of early syphilis with azithromycin, the dose you have received is not the recommended dose.
Avatar m tn I read online that the combination of Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin can be dangerous. Is this still the case, if the last Ciprodose was one week before the 2g Azithromycin dose?
Avatar n tn I have read lots of your post concerning biaxin and azithromycin and whether they cure syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. I have found that biaxin is chemically different than azithromycin but biologically same at killing bacteria as azithromycin. On some post you say that azithromycin or clarithromycin(biaxin) would cure all the bacterial stds then in others you state that there could be some problems. by H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.
Avatar m tn One of the three i might have so he gave me azithromycin and a injection of something i forgot the name in my buttocks area. After a week I still felt slight discharge but, then he put me on doxycylline hyclate. I went to a local practioner two days later and I complained of symptoms of constipation and the slight discharge. The doctor told me to get off of doxycylline hyclate and drink metamucil to cure the constipation. So, it seemed to be i was relieved.
Avatar m tn I had unprotected sex at the start of July- and due to anxiety I had a Chlamydia test 4 days later. The same day I had the test I took azithromycin. My test came back negative- but my question is, is this definitive bearing in mind the test being so close to the potential exposure date? My second question- would the dose of Azithromycin be effective only 4 days after exposure?
Avatar f tn my husband had a deck built and made sure he bought 2 unbrellas and the in-laws are bringing another one on the 4th, i have to stay out of the sun there is no way that i could sit out there for any length of time and not suffer some serious consequences. also know about getting in and out of stores at right time, and hurrying across parking lots to car to put groceries in.
Avatar f tn Been a week since I had my c section. Is it safe to be under the sun to get a tan after getting a c section? Im not planning to wear a bikini, just tank top and shorts. Just wanna tan my arms and legs. Any advice?
Avatar f tn Sinusitis is the swelling and inflammation of the sinuses that may be caused by virus, bacteria, or fungus. Antibiotics are usually not needed for acute sinusitis. It is usually caused by a virus and will resolve in 7 to 14 days. In certain situations your physician may decide that antibiotic therapy is appropriate. When an antibiotic is deemed necessary, Zithromax (azithromycin) is commonly used. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is effective against M pneumonia.
Avatar n tn I have done an EKG and the doctor told me that I have a QTc of 434 ms...Is this normal?or is at the superior side of normal QTc?
Avatar n tn I am experiencing similar situatio after enjoying years of acne free face. I have tried everything humanly possible but I guess once its severe acne one has to limit expectations. Anyway,i am currently on Tab Azithromycin and topical benzoyl peroxide switched occasionally with topical retinoid at night. I use sebamed clear face gel as moisturizer cause it's oil free and irritant free,the last and most important thing is i avoid sun like it's a plague.
Avatar f tn Thank you. Do you think the azithromycin will be an effective cure? Especially if I had no symptoms? After going to the clinic, I did more research and saw that azithromycin is usually provided in conjunction with another oral antibiotic if I can't get the injection...
Avatar m tn Will the Azithromycin interfere with the test? For how long would the Azithromycin prevent transmission from my gf to me? Thanks. If necessary I will tell my gf. I won't have sex with her again before I get tested. No need to lecture me, I feel bad enough already.
Avatar f tn Is there a chance that taking Azithromycin could only suppress the virus for a while, giving it the chance to evolve and become even more dangerous? I mean delta is already pretty dangerous. I don't know if Azithromycin would only make it worse. I'm sorry if my question is too dumb. And thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn I felt a mild tingling in my penis for the rest of the day. The next day the same thing happened. On day 6 I went in to an std clinic and gave a urine sample. The dr said I definitely don't have gonorea because she saw no drip from my penis. I insisted something was not right and told her about my symptoms and incident. I have been in a monogamous relationship for 12 years. She gave me a one dose of azithromycin. The next day during a bowel movement it discharge was thick and lumpy.
Avatar f tn I overreacted and took a 1000 mg pill of Azithromycin in the morning and one that night. Still freaking out on Tuesday, I googled more and saw where recommened dose was 2 grams in a single dose. I took 2, 1000 mg pills immediately. The chancre seems to be fading, but Im still freaking out. Will the amount of Azitromycin ive taken cure or stop any progression of any STDs? Im married and hope i have not unknowingly given anything to my spouse. This will cause a divorce for sure!
Avatar f tn Yesterday at Planned Parenthood I was diagnosed with cervicitis with unknown cause. I will recieve a call within 7-10 days regarding the cause after lab results. I was in panic mode at the clinic and wasn't exactly listening to what the nurse had to say while being in full blown anxiety attack mode. She had prescribed 4 pink oval pills of Azithromycin 250mg and I took them all at once like I was supposed to.
Avatar m tn Today, the 4th day after the encounter, I went to the clinic, described my symptoms, and was treated with one dose of 2g azithromycin (8 x 250mg) in case of gonorrhea as well, since I can't really wait for my test results to come back before I get treatment. I was away for a while and my wife is ready to jump me. There's only so long I can hold her off without causing suspicion. My question is - is it really a week before I am no longer contagious?
Avatar f tn I'm 7 weeks pregnant and contracted a uterus infection and my doctor prescribed me two cycles of 1000mg of azithromycin and I'd love a second opinion!
