Re: Looking for solution to my Chalmydia problem
Dear Dr,
I was diagnosed with Chamydia 3 months back, but probably infected was 1 month prior to my diagnosis. For my inital treatment, while waiting for my first blood testresults, i was prescribed with Azithomycin (1mg single dose), Doxycline (7 days), Ofloxacin (7 days) and Rocephine. When the blood results came back 2 weeks later, it confirmed i had chamydia. Thereafter, my doctor prescribed for me another week of doxycline and 2 months of ofloxacin.
During a follow up visit, 3 weeks ago, i did a blood test and the results was equivocal or uncommital. My doctor then prescribed me another dose of rocephine and doxycline for 10 days. After the treatment, i took another blood test, and again the results were equivocal/uncommital by the lab. My doctor told me that i might have problems with anti-biotic resistant infection. He has now prscribed me on Flagyl and erythromycin for the next 1 week.
I would like to know what shall i do if this treatment does not work? Are there any other options? I'm getting worried after taking so much anti biotics, yet the problems persist.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I agree totally with AJ. First of all a blood test for chalmydia? your doc is not up on STDS. You should have ahd a urine test. These tests look for the DNA and are incredibly reliable they can find one drop of chalmydia in an ocean. I doubt seriously you have anything to worry about especially with no symptoms. You had the cure like I cannot even count how many times and there really is not too much resistant chlamydia to doxycycline which is the cure. I am pretty sure docs these days do not even reccomend a test of cure if you took the correct dose etc.

What problems are persisting?
You have taken SO many meds, and would have cured chlamydia several times over now.
What you need to do is stop getting blood tests, and actually get a urine or swab test. I don't know where you are, but those tests should be available to you. A blood test isn't as accurate as a urine or swab test.
I'd be shocked, at this point, if you don't have a fungal infection of some kind from all these antibiotics. You really only needed the 1 dose of azithromycin OR a 7 day course of doxy. The rest is purely overkill, and you didn't need it. I can see maybe even the rocephin, if they suspected gonorrhea, but you didn't need the oflaxacin or the second round of doxy, if this was simple chlamydia.
You don't mention symptoms. I wonder if you had some prostate inflammation, and that's why you got the oflaxacin for 2 months. That might make sense then. If you have prostatitis, its hard to treat sometimes.
This isn't the doctor's forum, by the way.
