Question I've had a handful of encounters that I wasn't very smart at the time with using protection. Since then, I've had symptoms to lead me to believe that I've received an STD or multiple stds. I had a burning sensation when I urinate and even when I didn't. I also started feeling somewhat achy in my chest and lower abdomen. I took azithromicen and it all seem to go away. But now I feel itchy most of the day mostly on my stomache and head. Its the worst when I first wake up but it goes away or I don't notice it while I'm doing physical activities. Please tell me this is something curable and not what I see when I try to look this up on line. I really need peace of mind on this and I can't get tested without some type of serenity before hand. Thanks
Answer Lance, How are you doing now? I would recommend that you go to a doctor and get a checkup about this. I can't diagnose your condition over the internet. Your health is of the utmost importance so please don't hesitate in getting a medical exam and advice and hopefully, treatment. I see that you realize what has happened and so hopefully, will refrain from sex at this time to avoid any further problems. Let me know what happens.
I will be out of town for a few days and won't be able to answer questions. If you would like to email me, you may do so at DWooley97@aol.com and I will answer on my return.
