Hello, I have not been on this web-site in a long time. I was diagnosed with IC Jan 2002. It has been a long journey . I can say that now I am able to function taking my meds each day but, it has been a long road and there is not a day that goes by I dont think about what I have. I have had a horrible problem with yeast in the last year and need suggestions on getting rid of it I have taken plenty of diflucan and also metro-gel for BV. can anyone help? also I am looking for my friend that I met on here back when my IC started I went through a divorce in 2003 and lost contact with my friend here on the message boards I am looking to chat again with M.Keebler (aka Marg Simpson) pls email me. Thanks MARNI

Welcome back, Marni! :) Yeast can be such a pain!!!! I don't have anyw wonderful advice for getting rid of it other than you might want to check out the book The Yeast Connection and the Woman. It has lots and lots of tips for dealing with it.

How do you know if you have a yeast infection?

Thanks

A yeast infection will cause severe itching and burning in the vaginal area, inside and out. You get cottage cheese-like discharge that smells like just baked bread. They are a nightmare. I have been having them since I was 13.
