My house is starting to really take shape now. I'm starting to feel it's finally mine and sorted. Still a little more to do though.
Anyway, during the tidy up I found some medication that had fallen behind something.
I knew for sure it wasn't mine. And it had my STBXH's name on it, with a date (from late summer 2012).
It wasn't finished, the packet still had lots left in it.
I googled the name: vibramycin. It's an antibiotic that's used for treating certain bacterial infections, including chlamydia. He had reactive arthritis just before getting that medication. The causes of reactive arthritis are food poisoning or chlamydia. You don't get antibiotics if you've got food poisoning (please someone, correct me if I'm wrong).
So he got chlamydia from the 20 something year old girl he had a short PA with when he was working in Brazil shortly before (the timescales fit). And he didn't take all of his medication for it.
I thought he was a complete idiot for that.
Then it dawned on me, a couple of weeks after we started MR again, in July/August of the following year, I got a very bad UTI. Very bad. I had to get some strong antibios for it from the doctor.
I have a hunch he passed it on to me then, and it was dealt with by the antibiotics the doctor gave me, without me ever finding out what was actually wrong.
So then I got really angry. How can someone be so utterly stupid? To not take all of their medication and risk passing on their disease to someone else? I am just flabbergasted.
Anyway, I think I can go to my doctor and ask them to check my medical records from that date to see what the diagnosis actually was.
