@MacchiatoSwirlGirl if you are in pain, then sex does full off the agenda. But as humans get older it tends to be more about companionship as opposed to physical sex. A negative view of yourself will transmit to others view about you. Easily said if you are living in constant pain.

[@DrBretPalmer]

@MacchiatoSwirlGirl very tough time

[@starrebornalpha]

is it needed for just receiving oral from a female to a male for the male receving?

[@DrBretPalmer]

Any sex in any direction. More useful in areas which have a high bacterial sexual transmitted infection rate.

[@starrebornalpha]

@@DrBretPalmer thank you, that's helpful

[@thesaintforever257]

So i took 200mg within 3hours after sex. Then took 200 the next day. Did the extra dose help?

[@DrBretPalmer]

It may. But you will still need to have a sexual health screen after the incubation periods.

[@thesaintforever257]

@@DrBretPalmer I took 3 test in 2 weeks. Nothing showed up

[@DrBretPalmer]

@@thesaintforever257 test again in 3 months will exclude syphilis but looking good already 👍

[@brognar123]

So I took 300mg the day after potential exposure. Should I continue taking it every day to finish the 7 days or just stop? Thank you so much I cant seem to get same answer for this. Also - take probiotics while on the antibiotic or ONLY after? Lots of conflicting info out there

[@DrBretPalmer]

For prophylaxis it's 200mg 24 hours, latest 48 hours then stop. If you have an infection then finish the course of doxycycline 100mg twice a day.

[@DrBretPalmer]

Probiotics always after antibiotics 👍

[@brognar123]

@@DrBretPalmer thank you so much for replying. Is there any harm to finishing out the 7 days?

[@DrBretPalmer]

No, that's just a full course, you can finish then go on to probiotics.

[@brognar123]

@@DrBretPalmer Still dealing with same issues. Last visit to urologist suggested a bladder pill but if that didnt; help 30 days of Doxycycline. Would that much make sense if nothing showing up in tests? Its at a point I'll try anything

[@adrianacoates1353]

so my doctor prescribed me this and I have one more pill left. I had no side affects until tonight. I feel nauseous, I have diarrhea and I'm having bad anxiety before I sleep like I twitch and I can't sleep its like my body is telling me don't sleep its like having anxiety for some reason I been taking it for 6 days now no side affects I did just stop taking cephalexin cause I finished it I hope after I take that last pill tommorow of doxycycline this will stop

[@DrBretPalmer]

If a side effect of doxycycline then should stop when antibiotics are finished. bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/doxycycline/#side-effects This website gives more information about side effects.

Thank you sir for educating us ❤️

Pleasure, glad to help.

[@TwinFalls88]

the problem is the messaging. NOT EXPLICIT ENOUGH ! Spell it out : > 1) reduce # of partners. 2) ALWAYS* wear a glove, even in a relationship. If your partner refuses, then throw them to the curb. Be ruthless. 3) use fear, & bring up history (80s) to scare the shit out of people. Messaging isn't to make people feel "warm and fuzzy". Plus global warming makes new viruses entering the scene more likely. 4) EXPLICITLY side with the Left, - get EXPLICITLY Political & advocate for Universal Healthcare. Queer ppl that don't advocate for Universal Healthcare do not care about our community. 5) Universal Healthcare = PrEP (as an add-on, not substitution for condoms). Unless they desire to get SYPHILIS. 6) SLAM Alcohol & Drugs. Encourage ppl to Lobby against and raise taxes sky high on alcohol. Mind altering = risky behavior. 7) Universal Healthcare must include Mental Health. Otherwise, ppl will continue to use drugs and risky sex to cope and mask painful and unprocessed feelings.

[@DrBretPalmer]

The problem is, being aggressive and angry, just switches people off. I'm not sure what you do for a job but you need to take people with you, not put them off from coming back to your clinic or KZbin channel. In the UK we already have universal health care and PrEP and condoms.

[@TwinFalls88]

@@DrBretPalmer I'm talking about people being ruthless and aggressive with OTHER PEOPLE. Not you as the doctor doing so. Encourage them to identify drugs and alcohol as one of the MAIN culprits in this. Everyone says all this B.S. about myths such as "free will" and "personal choice". Neither exist, as false as belief in Santa ! Slam alcohol and drugs, and Blame it on unscrupulous ppl trying to get rich off vulnerable. Point finger directly at powerful. AGAIN. You don't need to be overly aggressive. BUT* you SHOULD encourage people to be so in their own lives. Lets say someone is getting pressured to have sex without a condom. Promoting Empowerment = encouraging them to cast that person who refuses to the side like a piece of trash. If they refuse a glove = there's zero love !

[@TwinFalls88]

@@DrBretPalmer but @ same time I do thank you far all you do to help ppl

[@TwinFalls88]

@@DrBretPalmer YET* unscrupulous ppl that wanted to keep sex-themed parties and bathhouses going uninhibited during Mpox & even back in 80s HIV outbreaks...... SHOULD be blasted. They put profits over ppls' lives. As bad as the anti-mask ppl. ! Didn't we shame everyone who refused to social distance and mask during Covid ? A great lesson to learn for our own community right

[@DrBretPalmer]

Good to watch this video for general advice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKi5gmyooMqfhac Have you had a sexual health screen? Also how many days of doxycycline have you had ? (Doxycycline is usually 100mg twice a day for 7 or 14 days). Have you been tested for Mycoplasma genitalium?
