Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I say almost those exact words to myself EVERYDAY! Tina. julie - BV again This is so ridiculous and frustrating that you have to figure out howto treat this infection by yourself.You should have a doctor helping you. That is what makes me so mad, weare all alone in this. Has anyone figured out what sort of bacteria is infecting you? If thiswas a bladder infection (or any other body part) they would IDENTIFYthe bacteria, and then they would choose an antibiotic that was bestfor that bacteria. This should not be done by guesswork.>> Tina--You mentioned that you had BV and that you took an antibiotic> for a month to get rid of it.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Most of the time, BV is caused by the bacteria Gardnerella. The treatments are Flagyl (Metronidazole), MetroGel (Metronidazole vaginally) Tindamax, Clindamycin, Clindamycin vaginally (Clindesse) and boric acid suppositories.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 You should ask them why you are getting a Botox injection. You should not let people do stuff to you without telling you why. They do not always make the right decisions. I could use some Botox myself, LOL, too many wrinkles > > I have never had BV just VV.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I've been wondering why people have been thinking that I have BV and I don't even know what it is. I have been hurting with pain lately. Tina. Re: julie - BV again You should ask them why you are getting a Botox injection. You shouldnot let people do stuff to you without telling you why.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Tina M--I'm sorry I didn't realize there were two Tina's. I was confused too! I used to be on this list a lot but I became one of those people I always heard about who got better and wasn't hanging on the list so much. So I'm not as familiar with all of the newer people. > > > > I have never had BV just VV. Well, I have another doctor apt. > tomorrow afternoon with an oncologist to give me a Botox injection.
