This one is for the ladies...

I have this problem a lot and it drives me crazy. I have oral thrush in my mouth but then BV down below, what the heck do you do with that??? I'm taking probiotics. I take Azo yeast 3x a day and I just started yeast ease from jernigans. I am hoping to get rid of that problem first. i don't know how to deal with BV. There is a homeopathic medicine that I bought a few weeks ago but I'm already on so many things I don't really feel like adding to the bunch unless I'm miserable.

Thanks ToddPaul! I feel kind of embarrassed asking you about it, but...
Have you heard of woman using vitamin C vaginal suppositories to cure BV?
Thanks for the link, I don't mind, as I don't think you're here just to push your products, and I'm all for supporting others on this forum!

Do you happen to sell Enhansa and/or Lyme Plus Transfer Factor?

Lymer...I have had that problem, too! It is better now. I am guessing just due to overall treament.

Since you reacted so strongly to flagyl..am guessing yeast is a big deal for you.

I think the acidophilous suppository should help.

I did get relief topically from burning/itching with just a vitamin e oil/natural vaginal lubrication. It just eases the pain in tissues.

good luck..it is indeed really freaking frustrating and annoying!

Hey Lymer!!!!

I have a great thing for BV! I was getting it all the time. It seemed as soon as it cleared up, it came back again. I battled it for about a year. I was even getting yeast infections at the same time. One day I called my ob and he wasn't in. There was someone else covering for him, and it was an female doctor that really practiced a lot of homeopathic remedies. I did what she told me to, though I thought it was strange, and by the 2nd day, a good portion of my symptoms were gone! By day 6, it was over, and it has been over 2.5 years since I had a relapse.

Let me know if you want to know what the remedy is. I should probably send you a personal email because it may be tmi to put up in a chat. But I promise you, it works!

ok so i'm officially unable to comprehend this right now, i have a college degree yet cannot enable my email on here. combined with this blurred vision and brain fog i am beyond frustrated!

let me calm down and compose myself and attempt this again...

wish me luck!!! lol

well, i set up chat...samjones if you want to connect there sometime lmk and we can exchange personal email addresses...

sheesh that was exhausting! but worth it :)

Thanks Katie18, I'm always shopping on amazon...I'll be sure to check it out!!

I never even knew there was a chat on here!! I just signed up. I thought when people talked about chat that it was an email!!

Lymer, wen are you on so I can catch you on chat? Or I can send you the info in an email?

Ok ladies,

I am taking nspeedracer's advice and not thinking it is TMI anymore. I had constant issues with yeast and BV. They are treated with different abx. The problem, like with yeast, is when you treat BV, you rid all the good bacteria that prevent it as well. I was getting BV every month, till eventuall it just wasn't going away. So when I called my OBgyn and he wasn't in, I spoke to the other OB on call - a female, and very into homeopathic remedies. She told me she never tried the treatment because she never had BV, but told many of her more "open" patients to this. And low and behold...it WORKED!!!

So here goes.. I call it the garlic tampon. I think you are getting the idea. You get 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, cut them into smaller peices (so that the enzymes release), wrap them in a piece of gauze, and tie a tampon string to the end of it. And well, like a tampon, you insert it the same way. Yes, you will smell like garlic slightly. No, it doesn't burn, there is no discomfort. In 4 days my BV was completely gone. I was struggling with BV for over a year...constantly on meds, and in 4 days, no more. I started getting relief in as little as 24hrs. I did this for 6 days, changing it about 4-5 times in a 24 hr period.

Make sure the pieces are not too small so that they can come out of the gauze, and make sure they are wrapped pretty tightly, so when pulling it out it doesn't come apart. Also ladies, if you wear tampons, pads, or lightdays, make sure you buy ones that are all natural and with out scents. I get mine from a natural food store. Because of the lyme, we easily get infections of all sorts, and anything unnatural throws off our pH.

I did end up getting BV again about a year later. I don't know why, but I caught it immediately and used the garlic tampon for 2 days and it didn't come back. So, I hope this helps. And I know it is odd, but I swear by it. If anything, the doctor and I got a kick out of it... and now I go to her whenever I have some type of infection, because I am open to her homeopathic threatments that seem to always work. Good luck ladies...
