Well that was unnecessary. You don't even know the whole story. I was in a relationship with this guy. He was sleeping around and i had no idea Otherwise i would have obviously stopped having sex with him or used protection. The only reason why i dint was because i wanted a kid from him and he told me he was tested. I don't sleep around with a bunch of people so please keep your ignorant stingy comments to yourself next time. Will go to the doctor but im obviously asking for an alternative remedy as well.

So forgive me for asking but you say this and then you've edited your op to say that you were raped?
I'm not doing the whole 'skeptic ATSer' thing but it does seem odd having two different stories.
What you went through is awful if your OP is anything to go by - I hope you recover and don't let this guy ruin you and I hope he gets what's coming.

Stay strong sister.

I tested 12 days after the exposure and i came clear for other std's they failed to test me for gonorreah though so there was bad practice. I actually found out i had gonorrreah two weeks later /: due to them failing to test for gonorrea. I found out I was pregnant that day so im guessing they concentrated only on the pregnancy and only testing for STD's that would harm the baby? ..gosh, its such a long story. I will still need to take another std test because maybe i tested too soon. I know i did test too soon for HIV though i will have to wait a few more months for that, so i am still not clear on that. I did come out clear for hiv but like i said, it would have been too early /:

I never edited the rape part. I was in a relationship with this guy but he raped me at some point. He forced something i dint want. He had his hands on my mouth and even told me to " relax" otherwise it was gonna hurt more/: i have texts where he admits to it but all if this is still under investigation... Hes gonna get interrogated sometime in the following next few weeks... Its a long story... Sigh* he'll probably get charges for revenge porn and if im lucky qdor the rape as well.the rape was actually my exposure day where i think i got infected /:.. I did take a shower the day of the rape and continued to date him thas why this case will probably go nowhere. But who knows.. The only reason why i decided to speak up was because i found out i was pregnant from him and i dint want him near the baby because i knew he was a dangerous person. Due to what he had done to me.... I only stayed because i am a lonely person and it was a dumb mistake..... The baby is gone now but i have to continue with this...

Best advice I can give you is take no one but a professionals advice in this matter. There is a reason why this why things that uses to kill you in the past do not anymore. By all means question your doc but also listen to thier answers.

People make me sick sometimes - you're amazing for being so resolute and for still fighting after all you went through.
As I said don't let him ruin you and hopefully by the law of the land or by Karma he will get his.

I strongly advise you to go to your doctor without further delay. You may well have (yet) another disease, it might be a flu or something else completely innocent, but do not take any risks. Go to your doctor immediately.

You may also want to ask for psychological help, as it is very clear that you must be - allow me to speak frankly - a psychological mess. You have been raped by a guy that slept around, you actually wanted his child (!), then got pregnant, lost the child (or aborted it) and had to endure revenge-porn being sent around whilst struggling with a STD.

ATS is actually not the right place to discuss these things. Apart from the lack of expertise that many of us have in this field, ATS members can be quite insulting, unloving and uncaring, in effect adding insult to injury.

Log off, go to your doctor, ask for help.

Why anyone would ask this question on ATS...
Weird.

I am really sorry for what has happened to you ..... I hope all works out for you. You have been through more then enough. I think I would go to the nearest hospital if you can't get to see your doctor asap! On another note if this is a open rape case should you be disclosing any info about it on ATS.
Stay strong!

Ok, but that still doesn't add up with this.....

Your choice of words is kinda disturbing.

Seek more medical help immediately....you have too many medical issues that have happened all at once to delay going back to the doctor. Try a new doctor if you have too ! Also, in the police matter, ask the local police or local court house for the number to a "victims advocacy " group. although sometimes called something else, they are attached to the Family Court side of the court system. ....they're a group of people who Work and support the victim in abuse, or rape cases, etc. usually they are retired police, or lawyers who know the ins and outs of the law to help you. You will need someone like that on your side for your case. All that aside, stay away from the old boyfriend, get a restraining order, and a weapon. ( pepper spray, a gun,..a taser ....anything to defend yourself with ! )

You realize now they can test for HIV min of 2-3 weeks out from exposure

Probiotics and prebiotics taken in conjunction with antibiotics will help to keep the yeast from taking over.

Hopefully it isn't resistant. They will probably take a test again to see if it is working. You are taking some good stuff to go along with the antibiotic but these may not take care of the yeast. It will take time to get back to normal after they are finished.

I'm glad I never got that. I could have when I was young, but I guess I was just lucky.

You need to follow through with the doctors till this thing is fixed completely.

STOP STOP STOP with the "eat yogurt" !!!!
There are certain foods you need to avoid if you're taking antibiotics and yogurt is one of them. Because of the calcium, is can effect the absorption of medicine, making it much less effective. Also, stay away from vitamins with a high iron content. If you're going to take probiotics and eat yogurt, do it after your round of medicine has been completed. If you've been eating highly acidic foods, like orange juice, chocolate and tomato based products that may be why you're still showing symptoms.

I don't think you'll find an effective alternative treatment. Supportive, yes, but you need the antibiotics to clear it up. As others have said, yogurt or other probiotic foods (daily, not just once) at least until a couple of weeks after you're done with the antibiotics. It will also help prevent yeast infections, which are more likely whilst on antibiotics.

Eat well, take supplements, drink immune supporting teas. Don't take acetominophen/paracetomol/tylenol, as it interrupts glutathione production (an important function of the immune system.)

A word of advice, don't bother stating any personal details or responding to them. It just invites criticism from the stupids. A doctor or nurse won't judge you, they'll just treat you. Nobody here should judge you either, just stick specifically to the topic of what to do and why. There are those here who just want to judge you for what happened. Screw 'em.

As much as people on here boast about natural cures...I believe the majority of it is just passed along information someone read from somewhere else..with zero proof other than a testimony to back it up..

I've had infections from the sinus to kidney and as much as I tried herbal supplements, they simply did not work..we can argue that the wrong dose was taken or it was not taken long enough but the fact of the matter is for is least common ailments your doctor is your best bet..I'm still holding out hope for turmeric as a preventative supplement for cancer but I'm still a bit dubious.

Go see your doctor but it is quite possible you are also sick on top of the other ailment...

I'm not minimizing your predicament but you would have fit in great in the 70's as it was a common condition to run across so I'm not judging you at all...

I have a few friends who contracted some STD's and just like HPV you can carry it and not even know it...you can always go to urgent care if it's really a problem..best of luck

HI Lightbeing123,

Firstly am really sorry to hear all you've gone through the and I hope you get some resolution with the investigation.

If I could offer you any advice it would be to be sure to keep your doctor's appointment and raise any concerns you have with them, no matter how insignificant you think the question may be. It's your body and you have a right to ask.

As for supplements or natural remedies I'd suggest taking a good probiotic. I like the brand Udos Choice, but their Super 8 Probiotic is the best on the market imo. Also GNC 75billion 60tabs would be the next on the list - it's just that you don't have to keep the ones from GNC in the fridge whereas you have to keep Udos in the fridge.
Don't take probiotics with warm or hot food so when you do take them leave a gap of at least two hours either BEFORE or AFTER eating hot/warm foods or a warm/hot beverage. It reduces the potency of the cultures and you'll get max benefits from them. I am led to believe that taking a probiotic whilst on an antibiotic proves almost ineffective so imo don't waste your money taking the two at the same time.

Get yourself on a good multivitamin. I personally like Nature's Plus Source of Life liquid. It is a little pricey but for the months supply you're getting a multivitamin that is taken from natural food sources and it's organic too. Just this is my personal favorite and haven't come across anything better in the past five years and I've tried loads.

You mentioned you're anemic. Floradix from Salus is the best. It's gentle on the system, won't make you constipated and is quick acting. You take a total dose of 20ml per day. 10ml in the morning and 10ml at night. This allows better absorption of the tonic. There are B vitamins and Vitamin C in this tonic for absorption too. Get the large bottle if you can and finish it, see how you feel and if you need to go on another small bottle. If the anemic symptoms persist I'd reccomend a blood test because it is likely there is another underlying issue.
Be wary of iron supplements that have a high amount of iron, your body just cannot absorb over a certain amount and it will just pass through your body most likely causing constipation.

And finally get yourself on a decent vitamin C and zinc supplement. For immunity and healing.

Please note that any advice offered in my post will not rid your body of gonorrhea - I'm not a doctor and cannot offer you that advice however any information offered is to help boost your immune system and help it to fight the infection.

Oh and another poster mentioned Olive Leaf Extract. I'd highly recommend it. It's antiviral, antibacterial and anti fungal. Any customer that buys it off of us swears by it.

Information I've provided comes from 5 years of working in health stores and my own experience with these supplements so they're tried and tested on yours truly.

I really hope this works out for you. Stay strong.

Given the stress you have been under, it might be good to work on your immunity. There are good immunity builders out there, vitamin B, magnesium, potassium (eat a banana a day), reduce salt and whites for a while. Drink calming camomile tea.

ETA. Krill oil and mega vitamins.

I thought there was a six month incubation period in the body before the virus is detectable?

a reply to: Lightbeing123

The only reason why i dint was because i wanted a kid from him and he told me he was tested.

Did you inform him of your baby plans? What protection were you using anyway that protects you from STD's and pregnancy?

I mean you are in a relationship with this guy and you were planning on having a baby together, so having regular sex, then suddenly he rapes you and gives you an STD at that very moment.

Then you turn out to be pregnant but seem to refer to the child growing inside you as a disposable object that you are lucky to have gotten rid of.

I know that people here will kneejerk and shower you with sympathy upon hearing a sob story, but your story doesn't add up imo.

Sorry.

Hey Lightbeing - as you can see you're already getting conflicting advice, but as others folks have stated go to the doctor /emergency room/urgent care immediately.

You've had a lot of trauma recently, get the medical issues sorted out - again - ASAP to ease your mind.

Based on your OP of sounds like you need a restraining order against this creep - it's free just contact the LAPD.

I've taken Doxycycline for over a year (skin condition), and I've not had any problems except occasional stomach pain. I have to take it for the rest of my life everyday and I'm fine - plus my skin looks great now. My point, there is science against taking antibiotics long term as you build immunity but, BUT, take them until you are disease free. Don't jump off treatment because of fear of medication. Get well by following doctor's orders.

Also if your worried about my money with doctor appointments and prescription pills - don't. You only have your health it's worth any price to keep yourself well.

Good luck, stay positive. This too shall pass.
