Got diagnosed with chronic BV

I’ve been tested 6 times this year alone for it and no medication has made it stay away, I was tested and positive for mycoplasma and got rid of that but the bv just stays no matter what! My doctor now prescribed me 1 week of oral metronidazole (which never worked for me) along with 1 month of boric acid suppository, after that 4-6 months of metronidazole gel. Has anyone tried this and does it work? I heard biofilm defense can help and taking vitamins with lactobacillus can but I just don’t have much hope. Just need advice I’m scared to try some things I’ve heard but I just want to be done with this! It sucks too cause I feel like I can’t have sex while taking suppositories and this is for 4-6 months, feel defeated

Did I overwork my tattoo?

I’m a tattoo apprentice and did one on myself 4 days ago, it’s pretty swollen around the area and red still leaking as well, I’m allergic to second skin so I used meat pads for two days, yesterday it was so sore to even walk everytime I stood up it just felt very tight and like pressure.
here’s what it looks like now I’ve been cleaning it and moisturizing it it’s not painful today but it is red and swole mostly on the tail area of the eagle, is it over worked or starting an infection or somthing?

What is this noise coming from?

I was driving my 99’ Volvo xc v70 2.4L awd like a 3 weeks ago and the front driver wheel well liner flung off while I was driving like 70mph it been making this clanking almost bell like noise since then and have no idea what is it. The shop said could be something with the drive shaft, but will charge me $200 just to diagnose it lol, the noise speeds up as I’m speeding and gets a lot louder while turning, passenger cv axel changed about 2 weeks ago

The video is a hard turn left in a drive thru

Itching for three days now

I just finished my meds for bv and mgen a few days ago, me and my boyfriend had protected sex with a condom after I was done with the meds, and we didn’t have lube so he used his spit. it was starting to hurt because of the lack of lubrication during it so that’s why he used it as well. Afterwards I went pee and it burned bad. Yesterday I went int clinic and got retested for bv, yeast, trich and mgen all came back negative thank god ( been struggling for over a year to get rid of it) but since we had sex my vagina and urethra have both been itchy. My vagina is the inside and outside area. No burning while I’m peeing anymore now just that once and no other symptoms, what’s wrong? it’s really bothering me!

Local tattoo shop and their “flash” pretty positive they’re ai. Only one women owns the shop and works there and just all her flash looks ai

But ya if ur a tattoo artist who uses AI you’re just as bad as the system itself and don’t deserve to call urself a tattoo artist. You can do tattoos yes but if u use ai for all ur designs ur not an artist…

I have it but my boyfriend doesn’t

I got swabbed for bv and mgen and I got positives for both, that was my first time for mgen but been dealing with bv a month before I met my boyfriend. I was with someone else two months prior before him. He got tested the other day too and it was negative and I haven’t been with anyone since we’ve been together.I haven’t done anything to dis earn his trust but he just seems to not believe me that I most have slept with someone to get this. I haven’t and idk how else to tell him the truth?? We’ve been together since August 2025 and we’re pretty good about using condoms but don’t sometimes I just don’t know how he doesn’t have it either. just stunned is there any explanation or advice about this?

Tested positive for BV and mycoplasma need advice

I’ve had this ongoing problem with BV for a year now, it always comes back. I’ve tried the gel, didn’t work. I tried metronidazole, didn’t work. I’ve tried boric acid, didn’t work. I just got tested for BV again and mycoplasma for the first time the other day, both came back positive, they prescribed me 14 days of metronidazole, the gel and an antibiotic for the mycoplasma. I just need advice on which order to take this and how to make sure it doesn’t come back. This problem started a little before I met my bf and I’m worried I gave him the mycoplasma as well so he’s getting tested. I’ve read that is he takes the metronidazole it could help me as well? Idk I’m just confused on what to do with all this stuff and I’m just exhausted with this issue. Please help

Is this too much mold and fungus?

There are probably hundreds of thousands of springtails and isopods in here with my one GAM, theres always been spots of mold and fungus in the tank, there’s been quite a bit more mold/fungus growing in here recently just need to know if it’ll do any harm to any of these creatures or if I should remove any of it

14 days no Lexapro

I feel terrible. I’m trying to come off of these things, been taking them since I was 15 I’m now 20, started off at 10mg, been taking 5mg for about 2 years, but omg I feel like shit the brain fog and headaches and I’m so lightheaded, exhausted and nauseous all the time. I almost passed out at work today and threw up from the smell of food I was cooking.
I’ve been napping so much too I can’t feel well rested, the first like 5 days off this I felt great, it’s just gone downhill and today is one of the worst days I’ve had. Also very sensitive and crying over lots of little things. How long does this last I want to quit taking it because I don’t want to be reliant on it anymore but I just don’t know how long I can deal with these withdrawals it sucks

Is this possible/ should I blast over my sleeve?

I really do love my Ghibli sleeve but I have just been wanting a traditional framed sleeve so bad like these last photos, and wondering should I just blastover my whole arm and make it look similar to those photos or if that’s even possible? these are so light and dainty I just love the big and bold traditional style a lot more now and it’s more of who I am. also the last experience with the guy who did these Ghibli tats was not the best and I don’t think I will be going back anyways.
Edit: also my other arm is fully blacked out hand to shoulder lol
