Hi Liz. I'm only about two hours from Philly. I'm definitely willing to travel that distance. My fiance is from Philly and we go there from time to time to visit his family members anyway. Is this physician a specialist or a regular MD? Can you tell me about your experience with her? I'd love to know more! Thanks! - email me if you'd like. gbyLiz Buehler wrote: Gby, Where in Pa?

It's been a few years since I've called, but I think I still have the correct number memorized:) Liz Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

It's BV you've been treated for, right? As well as IC?

Maybe ( just food for thought) it hasn't been bacterial V. at all and perhaps something very different from that - and that's why it's not clearing up with BV treatments.Has your partner been treated simultaneously? We recently had a thread about BV and the fact that it's often hard to 'cure'. I've never had BV, but I think the recent thread discussed the ongoing use of boric acid to try to keep things healthy. I don't know much about it though and you'd have to get some of the other gals who've used it to discuss it. I did google bacterial vaginosis and boric acid and got quite a few returns.

The other thing you might want to consider if HRT. Do you use it? If you don't, you could be suffering recurring infections because you have very low levels of estrogen in your body/vagina leading to serious pH imbalances which causes infections, as well as serious estrogen deprivation. If you haven't investigated this course yet, perhaps this would be a good place to start. I believe you said you had endo, but there are women who do okay using estrogen for HRT and or estrogen creams/inserts. Estrogen also would help IC. It might be a place to start.

Thank you Hollis.

What kind of surgery is your post referring to?

You said, "I've heard that Dr. Nyirjesy is an excellent surgen, if you are considering that option."

I've already had a total hysto. So, I'm curious what other possible surgeries there are. I'm really hoping that a dr will be willing to prescribe me abx with a long-term, aggressive approach. It is my understanding that many or most women want to avoid antis as much as they can due to the risks, such as tearing down the immune system and so-forth (understandably). But, I'm at a point where I'm 99.9% positive that I need this type of treatment, cuz I believe I'm plagued with mixed and difficult to diagnose and treat kind of infections. When a person has an unexplanable cronic infection going on for years that is untouched by regular treatments, it suggests, to me, that aggressive antis are in line. I just wish more doctors agreed with me on that.

I really appreciate your helpful tips, thank you sooo much!

Have the cultures you had done identifed the strain of yeast that you have. It can be that you have a strain which is resistant to the usual prescriptions we are given and unless you are given the proper 'typing' strain medication - you just won't get rid of it. (It acutally should be on the lab report - do you have your reports? You can get them if you don't and then google the strain). ANother thing you should have done is a sensitivities test, but you'd have to post to Tami or Sandi Sharp to get the details of that -as I know I can't explain it.

As for using boric acid for BV - it is used for that and you can google for info as I indicated in my first post.

Good luck

Dusty

Thank you, Dusty.

I have had more culturs done than I can count, and nothing other than yeast and/or bv ever come out of it. On another note, I thought that boric acid was solely a yeast treatment... I'd like to know if it is anything otherwise. I had it perscribed, but didn't get it filled, cuz I didn't think a yeast treatment was going to be worth the expense, when I was sure my condition included more than yeast... yeast always seems to be the more minor thing going on in me, (like a "secondary" infection).

I do use HRT creams already, but thank you.
