Re: To Those with DIV/ Jan

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan, you said in your post about suffering from awful discharge

and I know this is a personal question but what colour was it? The

reason I ask is because ive been suffering from a bad discharge,

sometimes its like a white/green colour, or really green or yellow.

Ive had swabs done a few times and apart from about a year ago when

it showed a strep and it was treated successfuly with antibiotics the

swabs have all showed up clear.
