    I experience this with my BV when it gets out of control.

      so comforting to know!!

      ive been struggling with what specialists have told me is chronic thrush for nine months, that hasnt been cultured and hasnt responded to any anti fungals.

      it has only responded to augmentin, which didnt clear it. just seemed to help with the pain.

      i went to dr today and they gave me flagyl so hopefully that helps!
