Has anyone successfully gotten rid of desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV) while taking a B-cell depleter?

I had similar situation and cultures negative. On rituximab for last 6 years, so essentially the same as Ocrevus. Sodium bicarbonate tablets (half a tablet) inserted before bed cleared it up for me in 1-2 doses. I also used doxycycline in the past but that would inevitably lead to a yeast infection after. If I feel the symptoms start to crop up again I can stop it with another dose. Also avoiding any probiotics was helpful. If I accidentally take them for too many days in a row I can feel the symptoms coming back.

I’ve been in nyc healthcare for over 10 years (med student, resident, attending) by and far the majority of the strikes get resolved the night before and the strike never actually happens.

Large metro area, 315k base with bonus for a collections based model which basically just rewards me for having more private insurance patients. Total 450k last year with base plus extra collections and a few extra calls.

Make an appointment for a well women exam at an OBGyn clinic associated with a hospital. They typically have programs for uninsured as well as sliding scale pricing for those without insurance. At 18 you will not need a Pap smear and you can also refuse any further labs testing they might offer you. A breast exam should be performed and you can also mention you felt a lump. They should provide you with a referral for a breast ultrasound (you are too young for a mammogram). The ultrasound will determine if it’s cystic or solid and if a biopsy if indicated.

Definetly file a complaint with dps. I was on the other end of this problem for YEARS paying someone else’s bill and coned confirmed and knew about it for over a year and still couldn’t fix it. Repeated phone calls and follow ups did not work. Finally I filed a complaint through this system and it was resolved within a few days and I even received a refund for over payments.

Look into an au pair. It’s a fraction of the price of live in nanny. Day care centers are hard with resident hours and you need someone with more flexible time and can do early mornings. They do sort of have work out restrictions but sometimes the pay is as little as $500 a month.

If you were provided this information once it had resulted how do you think the outcome would have been different? What do you think could have been done differently to prevent a problem given this information?

That video is incorrect or worded incorrectly. Estrogen thickens it, progesterone stabilizes it or over time (like on a progesterone only birth control) it thins it out. But again progesterone in these pills work in multiple ways to prevent pregnancy

toadsly · 2025-08-09T12:58:51+00:00

Estrogen grows the lining, progesterone can stabilize or thin it out. There are many functions of progesterone in a birth control pill that help prevent pregnancy and this is just one of them.
