I have been suffering from recurring BV for almost a year with various treatments that temporarily work. Because I have a friend in the same boat and we now are suffering from burning tongue and severely dry skin and lips, I am wondering if BV and/or some of the treatment has caused other autoimmune problems. It is too much of a coincidence to not be related. I also have another problem with my eyes rejecting the contacts I have been wearing for over 10 years. It is an allergic reaction. I have had dry eye syndrome for the last 5 years and have been using restasis. The contact rejection happened 4 months ago. All of my symptoms are typical of sjogrens, but I am wondering if the recent symptoms are a result of untreated BV or the probiotics/antibiotics I have been taking? Anyone else with similar symptoms?

I have also begun having dry eye in the past six months. I have no idea if this is related. Eye specialist said it's from my heart med, odd because I have used that med for over ten years, why would it suddenly cause dry eye? I have been taking probiotics for several months on and off. Didn't have dry eye prior to the probiotic

I'm just wondering if the probiotics are the cause of my other issues too. It's just weird that my eyes have rejected the contacts I have worn for years. So frustrating...

My complete blood results show absolutely nothing. All normal including WBC. I was tested for sjogrens as well, negative. All my symptoms fit in an autoimmune category but my blood test doesn't reflect it. So frustrated.
