    Angry raging infection

    hi guys. I'm an old member, just hiding out from now on...

    so anyway...I have a raging case of BV. I went to what I thought was a free clinic, Plnned Parenthood. Are't they free? well, this one wan't. I was so embarassd. I drove to the middle of the ghetto, sat in a waiting room full of pregnant 15 year old girls for an hour. Finally got called back, started going over my medical history. Got undressed, dr walks in and before she begins exam we talk about birth control and she nams the price of it and I said wait...isn' this a free clinic? she say no! this is a pay i full clinic! uhh..what? nobody told me. what's this cost right now? she says $120. fuck. I don't have any money.

    She slams shut my chart tells me to get dressed and walks out.

    I have never been so humiliated in my life..and I still have an infection!

    So this is half rant..but now what? Is there anythign I can do at home to make BV go away? Anyone have any extra flagyl layign around?

    god, what a shitty day.

    That's fucked up that she didn't treat you. I have been going to Planned Parenthood for 16 years and they normally work on a scale based on your income. In my experience (I have went to 4 different locations in those 16 years) they usually ask you when you fill out your paperwork before every visit about your income. I give a really low number and don't find the prices very high. All of the PP I have went to in 2 different states have worked out payment plans though for me and everyone else. I'm pretty sure each location works seperately though but I would look at their main web-site and do some research about if they have a policy for turning down services for someone who has a medical issue. I'm not sure what their policy is but I would complain if it was just the gyno being a bitch and not being very professional. If you don't claim a bunch try going to a community health center. My regular doctor is at one and I know they also have the gyno and mental health services. You can usually get an appointment that day and the visit would be like $5-10. Good luck and get that BV treated right away!

    garlic works for everything. stuff yourself with it. if you score it it's more effective.

    I think this may be your best route. Complications from BV can lead to:
    • Having BV can increase a woman's susceptibility to HIV infection if she is exposed to the HIV virus.
    • Having BV increases the chances that an HIV-infected woman can pass HIV to her sex partner.
    • Having BV has been associated with an increase in the development of an infection following surgical procedures such as a hysterectomy or an abortion.
    • Having BV while pregnant may put a woman at increased risk for some complications of pregnancy, such as preterm delivery.
    • BV can increase a woman's susceptibility to other STDs, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), chlamydia and gonorrhea.

    Yep. Garlic is good for that. Also apple cider vinegar (try to get Bragg's) mixed with water will help give relief and calm the smell.

    There is no cure for BV, only treatments. However, my present situation hasn't cleared up with any of the home remedies. Garlic, tampon dipped in plain yogurt, tea trea oil, apple cider vinegar douche, abstaining from sex....nothing worked until I got a prescription for flagyl. You have to go to the doctor. If your planned parenthood makes you pay (I've never been to one that did) I'd go to the E.R. for "bill me later" service.

    I went to planned parenthood recently and they were telling another woman there that since they recently had their funding cut they can no longer give free treatment. My colposcopy cost $385 and no one asked about how much money I made.

    ^ yes, I found tha out and I did make an appt. with a sliding scale based one. Unfortunatly, that clinic can't get me in until the 17th. I can't wat that long....so I found on curezon and it was mentioned on SW to douche with 1/2 peroxide and 1/2 water, so I did that. I'm not sure how much or how often to do it, but I guess I'll try it every day until it goes away or mmy appt comes....

    what i did at planned parenthood was told them that i wanted to get on birth control and i had no income. that way, you'd still get a test done and they'll give you a prescription
