Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi Sherri, I think it did help restore my flora by adding the lactobacillus internally, however, I am thinking perhaps I took too much trying to do so. I was taking it orally as well. I know some women who experience chronic bv infections and it just made sense to me to try to approach it naturally as well, of course the docs don't want you to do anything like that!AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 ok Sherri, I will let you know, I want to discuss with her the effects of too much lactobacillus too, which could be the cause of my burning.AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Mindy, Did you ever try anything natural for yeast? I took a yeast/fungal detox for mine when the diflucan didn't work and it did seem to clear it up. CAOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Sherri, thanks I will let you know what I find out. I used Nature's Sunshine Probiotic Eleven ( the homeopathic place told me anyone that has used antibiotics should probably be taking a probiotic like this) to restore everything that the antibiotic messes with. Also, I took Nature's Sunshine L. Acidophilus and Natures Way Primadohilus Reuteri I would vary them, perhaps I took too much of it, I will ask her tomorrow. She asked me to stop all supplements 48 hours before seeing her tomorrow so I did, and it could be pure coincidence but I haven't had the burning so much today, so I am going to give it a break for a bit and see what happens. I do think it makes very good sense to be on a probiotic after or during antibiotic use. I will try to find you another interesting article I read. CAOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 You shouldn't wish you took the oral meds for BV, Carolyn. I took flagyl for BV and that drug is deadly. I stopped after 3 and half days because I realized it was frying the nerves. See, a drug peaks in the body between 1 and 2 hours, and I kid you not, every time I popped a flagyl, between 1 and 2 hours later, I would get this really strange " buzzing " sensation in my clitoris. (And I do not mean the good kind.) ;-) I was absolutely stupefied that flagyl could do that to my nerves in the clitoris. So I got off the drug. A couple days later, I developed a tingling in my right foot and hit the ceiling because I know flagyl is notorious for causing peripheral neuropathy. Fortunately that foot symptom stopped. But any kind of nerve damage can cause a burning sensation. This will freak you out a bit, but, I read a story about a young girl who was on flagyl for only 3 days and she developed severe neuropathy. So severe, it involved the calves and her feet. Her legs and feet were burning so badly, she had to submerge her legs in buckets of ice. Now, why these drugs are allowed on the market is beyond me. But let me tell ya, anyone ever wants to prescribe flagyl for me again, they better run for their life before I smack them. I was given Diflucan again last week and it made me 10 times worse, not better! (And I cultured positive for yeast) Hell, I'd rather live with the yeast than take a drug that sets me back. I'm thinking once a person gets vulvodynia, any drug that gets into the tissue is going to make it potentially worse. I wish I had never taken the Diflucan again. Even my rectal tissue is inflamed, now. ugh . . . But then I read that Diflucan in the body, has 10 times the concentration in the skin, than it does in the vaginal fluid. (No wonder my skin is so irritated.) Hang tough kiddo! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi: I am going to a homeopathic doctor on Wednesday. Let us know what happens. Sherri -------------- Original message -------------- From: Carolyn52192@... I totally agree with you I took this clindesse for my bv infection and omg nothing is worse than this burning, I do agree with you. I wish I had taken the oral meds for the bv infection, I am thinking that the intravaginal antibiotic really messed things up in there for me. I am going to a homeopathic doctor tomorrow so I will let you all know if anything earth shattering happens AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi: I asked my doctors about adding lactobaccili to my vagina since I don't have any ever. And they all said that it doesn't work because they don't live and become part of the flora of the vagina. If it works for you, let me know. I keep thinking I wouldn't always have an infection if I had lactobaccili in there. Sherri -------------- Original message -------------- From: Carolyn52192@... has anyone had cytolytic vagiinosis before? I read that lactibacillus would help with bv so I was inserting the pills internally as well as taking them orally, I am wondering if perhaps I took too much?? and this is causing the burning?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Carolyn, I forgot to tell you, I have used nothing topical, ever. Nothing. It's all been oral. Drugs that damage the tissue and nerves, need not be topical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 It sounds like you might be helped by an outfit like the Stanford Pelvic Pain Clinic (you can goodsearch or google them and their protocol is listed on their website). My personal theory about this crap is that our nerves are in OVERDRIVE in response to an infection (maybe the infection is even cleared and our bodies are still acting like it's there) or other issue like Lyme. In order to heal we need to relax the tight muscles, toughen the skin (estrace), clear up any allergies or infections (yeast, mycoplasma, lyme, etc.), and quiet the nerves through medications AND/or meditation/yoga/relaxation, etc. I think that there is no one cure. I think that for most of us we will have to do MULTIPLE things to get the pain to go away completely. I have a list of things that have helped me and I plan on continuing them until I've been pain free for several months. YOU WILL get better. Hugs, Lindsey It's here!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 anyone with burning may want to try benadryl, I took a day off and tried claritin and it flared up again. Not sure what this is, but the benadryl seems to be helping it. CSee what's free at AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
