19 year old male please help unusual symptoms

I got a rare type of strep throat so the doctor prescribed me azithromaicin aka zpak. I took the medicine and it made my symptoms worse and felt super hot and cold off and on and wasn't hungry or thirsty at all. I noticed my legs were getting weak and almost numb. I also started to realize my penis wasn't getting hard and it seemed like everything was just dead down there. I called the doctor and they didn't have much to tell me. I went back in and told him I wasn't feeling right and he reassured me that the medicine wouldn't cause erectile dysfunction or anything like that. He recommended to continue the medicine so I did . I felt reassured at first and actually started to feel a little better but still having awful symptoms as well as feeling like my heart was pounding in my chest after I would take the medicine . I tuffed the 4 days or whatever worth of zpak and my throat pain went away but still had the white in the back of my throat which I still have to this day. I also noticed during the main course of the sickness that my eyes become sore and yellow. That is still a symptom I have today. My penis restored to normal for about two weeks because I remember having great sex on my bday June 3rd . That same night I got drunk and couldn't get it up . Thought nothing of it just thought I got too drunk is all. But I realized the next day it kept progressing and my legs penis and pelvic floor muscle were all numb and tingly. I went to a free clinic and all they did was take blood and that's all. Nothing came up of course so they thought I was just fine. I noticed that my penis sometimes felt like it was getting hard but as soon as I flexed my muscle to make it hard it would become soft quickly. After about two months I went to Ohio for work and I noticed my symptoms persisted . Then one night I felt like it came back to life a little bit after not being able to become hard what so ever I went to jack off and as soon as I stroked my penis I came. I felt my pelvic floor muscle spasming quite a bit. After that my penis seemed to be getting a tiny bit better. Then I started to get these head fogs. At random times during the day I would get this horrible brain fog is the best way I can describe it. Everything gets foggy . Also feeling of weakness. The weakness i was describing i finally came to conclusion that my penis was 100 percent numb. absolute no feeling inside a vagina. Went to many different doctors and they all had no answers for me and didn't seem to give two mother *****. No morning wood ever. Haven't felt "normal" ever since this started. Also at random times I have felt like I was going to faint. It was one of those times where I would think " **** should I call 911 or just tuff it out like the other times" I haven't felt the fainting feeling or brain fog much since I started smoking pot again. When this problem started I gave up drinking and all and just about a month ago stopped smoking my favorite cigarettes. Just to see if something would change. After the last doctors visit at the north side internal medicine clinic sitting there telling these doctors my story for the 4th time a doctor comes in and asks me many questions then tells me I need to see a mental health specialist. The doctors didn't run any tests on me or anything. I began to cry and they had nothing else they could do apparently. I left and began to realize I need to accept that nobody can or maybe wants to take my case seriously. I have been smoking weed everyday and my girlfriend noticed my **** is harder inside her when I'm high. Either way I can't feel it becaus it's numb. My penises hardness strictly depends on emotional connection . Not feeling . I haven't had that good feeling in my stomach right before intercourse or anything since may. I used to be able to just think about sex and get rock hard. Now it's almost impossible. I don't even have the desire to go out and drink like I used to. No energy really. And yes I get plenty of exercise my job is door to door sales and I'm number one on the charts still as of today. Just want to feel normal and healthy again. 5 months this way is way too long. Please somebody help me.

I don't think it's excercise because I get plenty of that, and I'm really skinny. I made an appointment with a family doctor in the state I'll be living in for the next few months. The only other thing I can think of is I took Molly or a form of MDMA and then 2 days later I got sick. All I know is my body isn't right. I just have that feeling. I'm usually not wrong. My tonsils have been off and on white for the duration of the time these symptoms started.

Erectile dysfunction is not a reported side effect of azithromycin. Lifestyle choices like excessive smoking, being overweight and avoiding exercise are possible causes. In such cases quitting smoking, losing excessive weight, and increasing physical activity may help some men regain sexual function. Other serious causes are neurogenic disorder (spinal cord and brain injuries), certain drugs like anti-depressants or nicotine cavernosal disorders, kidney failure, smoking, and psychological causes. Several laboratory tests can help to confirm diagnosis.


It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
