Avatar n tn your penis -- which you would not have missed). But in any case, if you caught it the clarithromycin (Biaxin) and amoxicillin would have cured it. 2) No. Chlamdyia was no risk at all (it isn't acquired by oral sex and the vaginal was protected) and gonorrhea, which can be acquired by oral sex, almost always causes symptoms and in any case would have been cured by the antibiotics you have taken. You didn't catch anything.
723952 tn?1231857532 they are cyst-busters. I was on biaxin for that purpose (along with another med to kill the bugs after they came out of the cyst), but had a reaction to it after several months; so the dr switched me to flagyl and a different antibiotic. It's a fair question why the dr would give you two cyst busters. Sounds like a lot. Good luck with the new job!! Sounds like a good one.
1094370 tn?1317134825 Saw my LLMD in San Francisco on Friday and he said that my Erlichoisis is cleared but wants me to stay on my meds (Ketek & Cipro) for another 30 days. My testing for lyme is still coming up positive and there were more positive bands and stronger ones than my last test three months ago. He said that the meds I'm currently are on do not treat lyme. After this course of meds, I am switching to Amox & Biaxin to begin treating the lyme. My CD57 shot up from like 20 to 87 though!
Avatar m tn I was taking Biaxin 500mg twice a day for a week and then took the rpr two days later. could this affect the results in any way?
Avatar n tn Hi. I am currently taking biaxin because I have pleurisy. My question is how long does the biaxin stay in your system after you're finished taking it? Is it safe to get pregnant after taking it?
Avatar m tn I may get tested just to clear my head, but to so I understand, in your opinion even if infected, after 8 months even if no Biaxin at all, is it likely that by now infection would have already cleared up? Just trying to understand how long infections can last. Thanks again.
Avatar n tn They put me on Biaxin and told me to rest. I have been on Biaxin now for a little over two weeks and I am almost finished with the pills. My period was supposed to come on Nov. 28th or 29th and still hasn't showed up yet. I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms like spotting, breast tenderness, or sickness other than headaches that I usually get. The only time I had sex without a condom was on Sat.
Avatar m tn s own. Biaxin can also cause heart palpitations in some people. But that being said, a resting heart rate of 90 is considered to be within the normal range and anxiety can definitely drive it up. Try to stop checking your pulse, that can make mine go up for sure. I did the same thing after taking an antihistamine and got all upset and mine went up to 120. As soon as I forced myself to relax and quit checking it slowly went back to normal.
Avatar f tn I went to the doctor and he prescribed 20 mg predisone for 15 day treatment, and 500 mg of Biaxin antiobiotic , the Biaxin caused a little stomach upset, plus raised blood pressure and faster heartbeats, so today i split the Biaxin in half and will only tale that once a day, instead of 500 mg twice a day. I still have raised blood pressure today , I guess the prednisone also raises the blood pressure. Do you thinj it is a good idea to take both items, or should I only take the prednisone.
Avatar f tn i experience a lot of upper body aches especially in shoulders and under and around arms also many headdaches and tightness in head along with frequent bowel movements and nausea.and last but not least , my pallets taste like the medication and no matter how much water i drink " it doesn't seem to go away making my desire to eat , non-exesitant..i actually have to force myself to eat .
Avatar f tn Some of the treatment regimens use a medication called metronidazole (Flagyl) or clarithromycin (Biaxin). These medications can cause a metallic taste in the mouth. You will need to consult a gastroenterologist for adequate therapy. Regards.
Avatar m tn I only had a sore throat, the infection in my throat (white spots and pus pockets), tiredness (which I just thought was being tired) and an achy body (which I attributed to working out). The doctor determined that it was either strep throat and did not come up on the test, or it was just some other throat infection. He gave me a prescription for biaxin, 2x a day for ten days. After doing some digging, I learned about oral gonorrhea. Could this possibly be what I have?
Avatar n tn I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.
4939681 tn?1361299299 Biaxin is well known for causing a metallic taste in the mouth. It's not a herx or acid reflux. Every time I used it (and every time many other Lymies used it) that metallic taste stayed the entire course and never diminished. I guess there could be a few people who didn't have that taste----- but then, we're all different aren't we?
1464587 tn?1307491605 the doctor and I decided that I should try a differnt antibiotic so we switched to the Generic form of Biaxin.... Clarithromycin...... I was on it for 2 months and dropped 18 pounds and 3/4 of my hair..... we pulled out what was in the shower drain alone and you could of made a wig out of it pretty much...... the only other symptoms I had while on this medicine apart from the hair loss is that my hands would swell and night......I had excessive bruising all over.....
Avatar m tn After 15 mins of sex the condom broke. I pulled out with in 3 seconds cause we both felt it broke. She finished me off with a hand job. I took a shower immediate after. I took a urine test a week after my exposer for bacteria cause I felt very little burning when I went pee. It could of been in my head. The test came back negative. I did not tell the doc about my in counter. I just told him about the little burning. He said he will test me for any bacterias. Would this have covered sti testing?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Biaxin for 5 days and have experienced the worst side effects i have ever had in my life! Nausea, headache, depression, crying outbursts, metallic taste, and wanting to sleep all day are the main ones. I have never felt depressed like this in my life. A feeling of sadness has taken over my body the past 5 days and it is miserable. Can somebody tell me why?? I stopped taking it today because I have had enough, I want my life back.
Avatar n tn I am 3 months pregnant and am prone to sinus infections and it seems the only antibiotic that works for me is biaxin. I have a sinus infection now, is it safe to take biaxin 2 pills together for ten days?
Avatar f tn I, personally do not see how Doxycycline could produce much of a herx. Maybe in combination with a cyst buster, such as Flagyl. But not in that particular combination. I could be wrong, but I just don't see how. You weren't really specific in the worsening of your symptoms. Getting worse does not always indicate a herxheimer reaction! Medications come with side effects, especially at the higher doses as we are sometimes prescribed for Lyme.
Avatar f tn Not sure where the rest of post is. Day 2 - 500mg Clarithromycin & Amox 875mg that night. This morning took 500mg of both Clarithromycin & Amox, and Ceftiaxone 1gm IV. I am aware of CDC guidelines and think that this single dose of rocephin & a total of 5gm of Biaxin over 4-5 days (in place of Azithromycin) should be effective? How long should I wait to engage in intercourse with my significant other?
Avatar f tn Since I have gone back on Biaxin and Tindamax in the last week, I seem to hit a wall around 3pm and I can't keep my eyes open. I have taken an afternoon nap about 4 days out of 7. I am a terrible napper and rarely ever nap, even when I was at my sickest with Lyme. I guess it could be herxing from the meds, but I haven't had this in the past. I am wondering if these two drugs are particularly targeting cysts and spiros in my brain.
Avatar n tn then a few months later had amoxicillian 3x500mg a day for 10 days for another unrelated infection (my docs loves to give antibiotics) If I did get a std like gonnerea or clymidia or anything else that is bacterial would the biaxin get rid of it?...keep in mind I have had no unprotested sexual intercourse just received oral from a women. Also I have never had any symptoms.
Avatar n tn For the last 2 months, I have had a chronic cough (and at times wheezing, tickling of throat), that waxes and wanes in intensity, often bothersome at night. About 2 months ago, in the beginning of all of this, I had high fever (100 to 103), chills, and fatigue for 2 or 3 days, and then it went away. But I was left with this cough for all this time.
