    Hi Brenda,

    I thought that I was struggling with a chronic yeast infection for almost 3 months... then I finally went to the dr and had a swab run and it turns out it was Bacterial Vaginosis that was presenting exactly like yeast. When the dr looked he said it was "classic yeast" so that just goes to show that the two can present so similar that even dr's can't tell sometimes.

    I did the BV treatment and everything went right back to normal and now I am using a boric acid vaginal suppository 1-2x's per week (these also work for yeast) to keep things in check! Now that everything is sorted I finally feel normal again.
