Finally free
I want to shout it from the roof tops because I am finally free of this beast of BV 💃🏻 suffering for 6 months, tried metro 3 times to no avail. My lab work always shows BV, high lacto as well so maybe a little CV? And most recently showed a UTI, no doubt from all that I had done to get rid of BV and how long I’d had it. My last trip to the doctor I went to urgent care and told him I wanted to die because it had lasted for so long, and he was super understanding and offered a five day course of UTI meds, upping my yeast medication, which I had to take every time I took antibiotics to a seven day course, and changing to clindamycin at my request. By day 3 it was night and day, and I am now post 3 days antibiotics and finally didn’t have to wear a pad for the first time in 6 months. I’m so grateful I just want to tell everyone, try the dang clindamycin.
My issues were complicated due to being immunocompromised due to MS and medication for that. During this last course I pushed my medication by 5 days to make sure it didn’t drop my immune system or interfere. I tried all the other options to no avail - probiotics (made CV worse I think) fermenter foods, cut alcohol, NAC, boric acid, vaginal probiotics, garlic pills, l-lysine.
