I think I'm finally cured!

I have suffered from bv since I was very young. I believe I had it from the first time I had my period. (Now in my mid 30's) I did not know that I had it until a few years ago but I had tried discussing the odor with doctors and they would just say they did not notice it and I was probably self conscious about it. I finally read about it online and then had to insist on getting tested and of course I had it. The meds do not work for me and it just comes right back often within days. I have tried all kinds of cures from vitamins, diets, pro-biotics, folic acid, yogurt, inserting yogurt, soaking in peroxide, etc etc. I did not try douching though because I am afraid it would make it worse. I pretty much just learned to live with it and showered multiple times per day to get rid of the odor or wore pads if that wasn't possible. Recently, the symptoms had started getting worse with not only the odor but itching and burning. I went to our local health food store and began telling a lady who my family knows there about it and she suggested pro-biotics. I told her I had already tried a few different kinds and she encouraged me not to give up on them because they all have different strains and dosages. I asked her which she would recommend and she gave me a couple. One was a probiotic formula for women, Nature's Way Primadophilus Optima, which I decided to go ahead and try it (sort of reluctantly because I already spend too much money on trying to solve this). It says to take one a day but I took two in the morning and two at night. I could tell a difference in the itching and burning within a couple days and the odor is finally gone! Nothing has ever accomplished that for the long term! I plan on lowering the dose down after a few months. I wanted to pass this on for all of you who have suffered with this and hopefully it can help some of you too :)"
