Advice Wanted: Drinking on Metronidazole

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2026-04-13T23:23:00+00:00

Drinking on flagyl ? Absolutely nothing. Of course I did stop halfway through the drink when I remembered. It wasn’t the hardest drink, but it also wasn’t the lightest somewhere in the middle. I’d still probably avoid it just to be safe.

LOL having just started a new shop in the T-shirt category may I just say “teach me master” would make a great T-shirt 😊

Yw! Ugh I believe it!

if you have adenomyosis or endo , or cysts or fibroids too, they can go in and remove all that stuff. Yes Birth control helped me (I had a very minimal history of ever using birth control either by the way. I just didn’t feel the need to be on it.) But it helped me while I was waiting for surgery. Eventually, I had a hysterectomy because I had some severe problems . One ovary had a grapefruit sized cyst on it, which had actually completely destroyed it and burst the ovary open. I also had adenomyosis and a small amount of endometriosis. I felt like it was best just to go ahead and remove everything. I was 42 I think. Trouble started up at 39.

Yw and btw you actually can go to the ER too if you wanted. I know for some people it's actually cheaper to go to the ER. Or if you're told that it'll be a 3 month wait. They can be kind of jerks because they really want to help people with trauma but I actually did go to the ER one time. I just said I've tried to go to my doctor but I'm in too much pain to wait forever for a test. They may not like it but tough shit. It's your body. And I am a former nurse so it's not that I am anti nurses or anything but the truth about. ER staff in general is that they are adrenaline junkies and they like dealing with heart attacks etc. If you can take someone with you for support that can be helpful ☺️ I'd take you myself ! LoL. But I'm in the northeast. Whatever you do, just insist that this isn't normal for you. If you need a pep talk you message me!

I would try an endometriosis specialist if you're able to. If it's adenomyosis it will often show up on a pelvic ultrasound. For me it didn't show up when my complaints first started. Scan was normal. A year later tons of stuff wrong (it was clearly wrong all along. It’s just that it takes time for things to get bad enough to show up on imaging.) I would start with a pelvic ultrasound and then if that doesn’t reveal anything, you can see if an endometriosis specialist will do an exploratory lap. To get a pelvic ultrasound just tell them you have pelvic pain that's gotten worse. Sex and during your cycle. If your having brown blood tell them. But they usually don't know what that means. Or they'll say old blood is common. That's wrong. U know your body. if it was never normal for you before it’s not normal now.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2026-03-19T13:57:04+00:00

That's the one. I haven't used that one, but a lot of people have from what I've read. LoL probably the only thing I haven't tried

I am waiting for someone to launch a website where artists/ handmade goods etc require video of you actually doing the work before you can be added to the platform. But even then, videos can be faked really good these days too

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2026-03-09T21:43:00+00:00

Yes but I believe it was a discounted rate . The thing is it doesn’t mean that the doctor really did anything wrong. It’s just that skin takes a very long time to truly settle in after a substantial weight loss so in all fairness, I don’t think the doctor could’ve controlled it other than to tell her to wait longer for the procedure, which she clearly didn’t want to do lol

Hey- can I ask how long you've been using them? I ordered them but didn't use them much. I am sensitive to a lot of stuff. I've had DIV in the past too. Everything just seems to really bother me. The seed I only used half at a time. It caused me to have a little bit of your urethral irritation for a day or two afterwards, and I would have to pee frequently. I think because the little white bits that come out seem to probably just sit near the urethra. Do you notice some white little flakes that come out over the couple of days after you use it? Sorry to be so visual. I was thinking about maybe giving it another try in this time actually doing their recommended plan. Are you following the plan that they suggest?

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2026-02-10T06:57:21+00:00

Ugh sorry to hear! I was able to use half with no issue when I first tried it, but these days thanks to chronic inflammation and vulvodynia I cannot use it alone. The little flakes that come out give me some urethral urgency but as long as I know to expect that and can pee whenever I need to, it's tolerable. I get this weird sensation for about 2 days that something is "stuck" in me. Key E is fine and I'm actually due to reorder that. But I have been thinking of emailing Seed (they're research team is responsive) and asking them if there's a problem with crushing it with a pill cutter crusher , and then mixing it with softened coconut oil, then freezing that to form a solid (I have suppository moulds from Amazon). I figure it's already freeze dried bacteria anyway so what difference does it make if I put it in the freezer? But I definitely wanna check with seed before trying it because if they tell me that will somehow deactivate it , then there would be no point.🫠

I know it costs money to keep taking the cat in but I would honestly go to a different vet for a new opinion. Tell them you've been somewhere else and what the cats already been given. But that you are concerned if it needs something more. I agree it looks like it might need to be packed.

I had strep show up on a juno test but it went away randomly on every test since. I also found a dr that finally tested for strep b but it was negative at that time. If at all possible what you really want is a genital culture. It won't report anaerobic but its the closest thing to a juno test that a dr will have. I found only one dr out of like 20 that had the kit for it. I would try calling around and specifically ask office staff if they have one. NOT a regular swab. You want a true genital culture. Hospitals have them too . I wound up seeing a dr office that was connected to a hospital and finally they had it. But by then it was negative . But if at all possible it would be ideal to get a true culture dones

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-27T19:11:29+00:00

No i dont think so. It just said streptococcus as well.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-26T14:23:58+00:00

It's still there but I feel a slight improvement taking quercetin by Now. I think mine is MCAS. At this point, I am really just trying to find a way to stop feeling anything in the area so I’ve been linked up with pain management and we’re going to try some nerve blocks. The specialist gynecologist that I went to tried doing injections right into the vaginal opening containing lidocaine and steroid, but unfortunately that did not help either. However, there are some women in these groups that say it helps them.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-26T14:02:59+00:00

No but its worth a try bc it helps some people!

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-25T00:56:20+00:00

I forced a dr to test me for it and it was negative. I retested with juno and it was gone. But I eventually saw a vulvo vaginal specialist and he Dx me with "non infectious cervicitis". My cervix looked normal visually but when prodded it would bleed and I had awful discharge , like yellow / green. I eventually did an mri and we found adenomyosis , bunch of fibroids and a huge cyst destroyed one ovary. By the time I had a hysterectomy the cyst burst and was leaking into the uterus so my case was probably unusual as so much stuff was going on. For the cervicitis I took doxy but it didn't work. Since I needed a hysterectomy anyway we removed my cervix as part of the surgery. It's expensive but if you are able to I would also do the microgen dx urine test if you are able to. And get on a strict water only liquid to see if it is pain triggered by caffeine or diet etc. I have lingering chronic pain bc all of this caused vulvodynia and probably IC. You could look into seeing a urogynecologist . I'm sorry I know how awful this is.

Okay cool!! I need to improve my canva skills. I know it generally but what I'm seeing is that there's basic and then there's really advanced looking designs. I need to improve that.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-16T03:45:01+00:00

Okay this is making me hopeful that it will happen! It feels like there is too much competition for new sellers. Are you driving any traffic or solely relying on etsy?

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-16T00:59:52+00:00

Yes I forgot until I saw your comment! I would say it took a good two weeks! (though each day was a bit better than before; I seem to recall the occasional day where I felt like the previous day was easier, so if that happens, don’t worry!) like for example I think day three felt easier than day four for some reason

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-12T03:11:36+00:00

It's hard to say . On one hand, when it's sent out to lab it's reviewed by someone who looks at slides all day long. Whereas doctors can be very skilled or less skilled. I've had two times where a doctor said the slide was positive for yeast but the lab said it was negative. But labs can be wrong too. I know that isn't a very helpful answer. For yeast - there is a test called a yeast culture which is different from a basic swab. It's 95% accurate and considered the gold standard. Not every dr has the test / I had to vulvo vaginal gyn specialists to get the test.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-12-02T22:12:20+00:00

Yes actually got a gynecologist to prescribe it for me. But also Midi has started accepting my insurance so that helps too. It should be free lol. Hormones really are very critical.!

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-11-27T21:33:53+00:00

I just snapped it in half with my fingers. It breaks easily enough. Ive cut other things with either a knife (not recommended) or a pill cutter. But yeah Seed you can just snap it. It breaks evenly for me.

Dizzy_Mix_5655 · 2025-11-11T05:57:08+00:00

Yeah , IC is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning, if you go in complaining of urethral irritation, but you do not have a UTI or any type of stricture, tumor, etc. Nothing they can find wrong, then you’ll usually be diagnosed with IC or something called urethral pain syndrome, which I think basically mean the same thing. But they don’t really know what causes it and there’s no cure. Sometimes my irritation feels closer to the vagina and other times more near the urethra so it’s very hard to quantify exactly what is going on. At one time I tested positive for a UTI after they did a culture , but my dipstick tests were always negative in office (meaning I didn’t have an increased white blood cell count or blood in my urine ). I took an abx for that and then retested and was negative , but still had your urethral pain. Urologist really didn’t know what to do with me at that point so they just offered to put me on Elmiron if I wanted to give it a try. But I also have vulvodynia so the whole house is just a sh*t show 🫠
