BV

I have been dealing with a e coli vaginal infectio for about a month. I have had this before and it took almost a year for things to start getting better. I found out I had it when I went to ER. The first one said there is nothing wrong with you. Of course I was like why am I on fire then????. Anyway a few days latter I decided to try another ER. And bamb I had an infection!! I hate how the Doctors look at you are crazy. So I was put on antibiotics for 10 days. When day 3 hit the burning had gone away. The day after i finished the antibiotic it came back. My doctor to go and by some over the counter cream and he would call in a script for me. Nothing went away. So now I'm back to square one. Since I had tried everything under the sun last time I decided to ride it a out this time. I think some things work better then others and that goes for BV also. I think last time I was constantly trying one thing after another. So much stress. I cried all the time. I ended up being put on birth control to see if that would help. Well, you know those commercials that advertise birthcontril that there is a small chance of having a stroke. Sure enough I did. It was just a horrible time. The only thing I was grateful for is that I couldn't feel the burning. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks then rehab 2 weeks. The burning stopped even before I left rehab. So, I don't know what will get rid of it. Maybe I was under so much stress during that time that my chemistry changed. But now it's back after almost 10 years. If anyone has had to deal with this e coli thing how long have you have had it? Was thère a poticuler antibiotic that worked? I feel so alone. It's obvious I looked sick. But what do you tell people? Oh it's a vagina thing?
