I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place. I am hoping someone has had a simliar issue, or someone will be able to direct me to things that could be possible and how serious this is, or isn't.
History: Since the last time i sex (Nov 2009 (also the first time)) I've had BV (Bacteria Vaginosis), that I keep trying to get treated, but nothing seems to have worked on it. creams, pills, and more creams. Nothing has done anything. Other than the first time I was treated it seemed to go away for a few months. Then the last round I was on Flagyl and i felt so sick, but kept taking it anyways (massive side effects), but it did NOTHING for it this round. the BV only got worse, and this time I was just like "eh.. I give up... I don't want to take any more of that flagyl it doesn't work, and the cremes didn't either. And I was offered a refill of flagyl but because I refused and clearly stated i lost over 10 lbs in the 7 days due to being so sick i couldn't eat, or anything without constant dizziness and nausea. And when I did eat It just came right back up. I was so dizzy it felt like one of the dreams I had for the longest time when i was younger where i was trying to get in the elevator but I was so dizzy i kept falling and couldn't make it to the elevator. Anyways, because of that, they refuse to help me. (this is planned parenthood because I can't get a regular doctor as of now (due to insurance and their mistakes on paperwork)).
Current: Still having that. On normal months I start the day AFTER the last day of the period in the previous month. Knowing that, i should of started on the 16th of this month. But it showed up yesterday instead. Almost 2 weeks early. (in my life i've never had the period show up early.). Anyways, I've been cramping horribly, and having sharp twisting pains in my uterus area. Also massive headaches. And earlier when i went to the bathroom when i got up I noticed, what i think were clots (never had them before so I don't know if they were or not.. just the only conclusion i could come up with). it was in 3 sections.. all about dime size in width and oval shaped. They were a very dark brown (so close to it, that it almost looked black). and were connected through a thick bright red blood string.. (kinda looked like the texture of thick snot), and there was like this white stuff floating above it that sorta branched out a bit on the surface of the toliet water.
(like sharp pains, like just now it felt like someone jabbing me with a needle there where my uterus is.)
and after I got up, i got dizzy and light headed, and made it out to the couch, where i just sorta zoned out. I keep zoneing out too.. and where i'm typing this the area around it is turning a greyish tint. and i'm nauseated(but only faintly), and i'm shakey, and sweaty.. pretty much exactly what i do before i pass out. but.. normally it just means that I need to eat.. and I am full.. lol.. I ate lots today. but my head is cold along with my tongue feeling slightly tingly on the sides. and i feel ... weakish..
I also felt feverish before i went into the bathroom, but I never actually checked it so..

Ive had this a couple times. hate the fishy smell.
question are you continueing to use the medication and creams to the end of the tube or end of medicaiton. with bacterial infections people start feeling better in a few days after starting on the meds so sometimes stop using it but the bacteria isnt completely gone. by not finishing the meds the bacteria just continues to multiply.
question if you use any toys are you sterylizing them. using a toy that has not been cleaned properly will reinfest you with the bacteria again.
Question are you changing your underclothes frequently and washing them with clorox or other bacteria killing detergent. as you discharge bacteria collects on underclothing and you can reinfest yourself by wearing the same underclothing or not getting them clean.
question alot of people use a /wash cloth towel after bathing and rehang the wash cloth/ towel to dry and reuse. that also can be reinfesting you with the bacteria. each time you bath use a different towel and wash cloth otherwise you can be reinfesting yourself with the bacteria.
question do you use douche or vinegar solution to cleanse yourself. eoding this can be killing the natural and good bacteria inside that fights against harmful bacterial infections.
question I have some friends who prefer the no underclothing or wear a thong instead of underclothing. if this is the case you may be letting harmful germs and bacteria in. this happened to a friend of mine. she ended up having to give up thongs and wearing thing and go back to wearing panties to help keep harmful bacteria out.
contact your doctor. they can give you more ways to help prevent being reinfested with bacterial infections down below. they can also hospitalize you and get it treated with iv strength antibiotics if needed.
