I just have some overall questions
I’m on day 7 of doxy. My doctor prescribed it to me for 10 days because I have to take the liquid version for other medical reasons. My symptoms were getting better, got worse, then better, then worse again. So annoying lol. I know it may be the herx effect.
I’m in a little bit of a different/difficult situation. My husband has been gone doing military training for 2 months. I haven’t been able to speak to him, but he comes back next week. I have to break the news that he has to take a round of antibiotics…yay. How long did you guys wait to have sex with your partner again? I read online that you should wait at least a week after finishing the antibiotics, but I also read that you should get tested again to confirm if the infection is gone…That’s where it’s tricky for me. We are moving in a week to a new state and will only be there for 2 months before moving to the next state. Would I be able to get tested at urgent care? This also may be a stupid question, but am I allowed to kiss my husband?? I didn’t get an oral swab for ureaplasma, but we’ve both done oral sex..So I don’t know.
I’ve also had some weird side effects from doxy. I’ve been trying to stay out of the sun, but I noticed my hands, feet, and arms have this horrible burning/tingling feeling. I woke up today with red spots/burns on my hands and feet. I’ve also had a sore throat for 3 days, but that may be something else.
Thanks for taking the time to read all of this. I don’t have anyone else to talk to!
