Prob reinfection
Hurting & scared
Hey community.
I am going through it. First off, I have some positive insight I hope can help.
I tested positive in October for ureaplasma & had an array of symptoms then including urethra pain, and severe pelvic pain. I was allergic to doxy. I had to start with azithromycin. I did 1g. Then 5 days. I followed with 7 days clarithromycin. Side effects of Clarithromycin were hard & my pain & Symptoms lingered 6 weeks... then subsided. I had test of cure Dec 2nd. It is possible.
In the time I was sick my ex and I broke up. He was never symptomatic. His dr tested him via urine culture NOT PCR because they didn't offer it. & it was negative so he did not want to treat since we were not planning on sleeping together again, and broke up. He was my only partner for 10 yrs.
Jan 10th was his birthday weekend ...(we stayed friends & raise/have a dog together so he would visit). Weak moment & we slept together. There was skin to skin for a few then I got with it and made us get a condom. After this... I started horrid symptoms of vaginal burn, deep vaginal itch, chemical pee smell on and off, and pelvic pain. No STI or BV & this isn't from yeast (long story how I know).
I just got re tested at GYN for ureaplasma & mycoplasma panel...I had to wait 3 weeks to test after potential re exposure as instructed, since slow growing.
Hopefully PCR like last time & should get results this week. I am distraught but trying to stay positive. Additionally I have been fighting a glabrata strain of yeast ...diflucan & other treatment resistant for 8 months (glabrata started after excessive antibiotics & has never caused me vaginal symptoms). I needed to start my last line of antifungals (toxic to liver) but now I cannot begin until I fight another potential ureaplasma or mycoplasma thing and rest my liver. Also, some of my testing gets lab rejected due to the yeast contaminating/ruiining the cultures. Can PCR pick up the ureaplasma/mycoplasma even with excessive long term yeast infection ?
Whatever is going on was super related to sex. I have been SO symptomatic. My ex of course has no symptoms. Kicking myself for being human & sleeping together again before my body was ready. Urgent care re tested my ex last week & again ONLY do culture & urine . Came back at firsr positive for Mycoplasma hominis & not ureaplasma. I never had Mycoplasma. Then next dzy they emailed him again showing negative for both. We called about it & they said must have been lab error.
Wth.
I know redness, deep burn & itch, weird pee scent & pelvic pain can be symptoms of Ureaplasma & mycoplasma. I feel like it has to be bacteria bc every week the pelvic pain gets worse as the infection is growing. I hope I can get better soon. Struggling with all these resistant infections. I have not been able to work in 5 months (6 herniated discs too).
