Help for Recurring Bacterial Vag/Yeast

Please advise on remedies for recurrent bacterial vaginosis/yeast/uti symptoms

I am a 42 yr old married female, I live in the Midwest.
Main Suffer: Recurring Bacterial Vaginosis with itching, burning, watery discharge, slight vinegar odor, painful urethra with sharp shooting pain, frequent urination, although no pain while urinating.

Other physical suffering: frequent sinus pressure headaches, constipation and bloating, stiff, achy muscles in neck and shoulders, and hot flashes due to medically induced menopause--was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent radiation to the groin/abdomen in 2009 and Rituxin infusions from 2009-2011.

Mental Suffering: Insomnia, irritability, depression, anxiety

What do you feel at worst: Stinging, burning, itching in urethra, thin watery discharge--symptoms feel like UTI/Yeast-but no UTI infection present.

When did it start: 10 yrs ago is when I first started having recurrent problems.

What time of day is worst: BV-all day but more intense at night. Hot flashes and anxiety are much worse at night.

What aggravates: BV-heat, tight clothing, rubbing, pressure

What relieves: Rest slightly relieves

Do you think suffering is related to external stimuli: I think it is related to compromised immune system from NHL and also menopause

When do you feel better: Feel better when it is dry and cool. Hot and humid tends to aggravate.

General mental set up: Generally quiet, shy. Enjoy silly, sarcastic humor, but easily offended, suspicious, tend to be pessemistic. I get overwhelmed and anxious when stressed, anxious about social situations, tend to cry when angry/frustrated.

Do you like being consoled: I like to vent/talk about the situation. Not an overly touchy/feely person.

Sensitive to external stimuli: Yes..to loud noise and strong smells.

Typical habits: Nail biting, I can get obsessive about things I am interested in.

How do you feel about friends/family: I don't have large quantity of friends, but do have a handful of very close, longterm friendships. I am close to family, My children are loving, well adjusted, intelligent, well bbehaved. My spouse can be very moody, we have had an up and down relationship.

My fears/dreams: I have tremendous fear of spiders and dental procedures, fear of bad things happening to my children. Dreams tend to be scary.

Food craving/aversions: I crave sweets, salt, carbs. No major aversions.

How is thirst: Excessive-always have a dry mouth.

How is hunger: Normal. I don't usually over eat, but am about 10 lbs overweight since menopause.

Any foods body can't tolerate: Although I like them, my stomach does not tolerate spicy or very garlicky food.

Is sweat normal, less more: I do not sweat very much,I tend to get flushed and clammy. When I do sweat, mostly the chest, trunk, neck area.

How are bowel movements: mostly constipated.

How well do you sleep: Do not sleep well. Usually do not fall asleep until 1 or 2 am, feel very groggy in the morning and sleep best in the early am. I always sleep on my side.

Able to satisfy sexual desires: No sex drive at all.

Medications taken and side effects: Have taken antibiotics for UTI--had allergic reaction to Sulfa meds as well as all the OTC yeast infection creams. Have been on oral antibiotic for BV (not sure which one--did help temporarily. Diflucan for yeast-sometimes helps. I take Cystex and AZO for pain (otc)
I have taken Sepia 30c which seemed to help initially when symptoms were more consistent with a UTI, but then symptoms become more consistent with yeast/bv. I then tried Nat Mur 30c which seemed to make symptoms worse.

Major diseases in family: I have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, Diabetes was present on both sides with my grandparents.

Describe appearance: 5'4, 150 lbs., hourglass shape, fair skin.

Menstrual cycle: No longer have menstrual cycle-menopause. My cycle used to be mostly regular but had very bad cramps & pms. I often had UTI/yeast during cycle.

Symptoms are aggravated from warmth/heat (as in being hot or outside) but not so much warm baths.
If whispered to, my ear feels sensitive or ticklish.
No I don't have the feeling of being under superhuman control.
No, I am not compelled to talk continuously.
The touch of clothing is not painful unless wearing tight clothing.
I am not comfortable with a necklace around my neck.
I am at times over sensitive to smell...if strong smells, such as floral cologne.
I like to sleep with windows open a crack and with a fan on.
I drink water in sips.
Occassionally I remember dreams and most involve being in a scary situation such as being chased or something bad happening to my family/kids or else very strange dreams that don't make sense.

Thank you For your quick response. I have nux vom and lachesis on hand..the others I will purchase. One question...do I put all the pellets in water as with the nux vom? Or just take by mouth? Also, with the lachesis, do I space out the 5 pills throughout the day or take at one time?

Thank you!
