Yeowww!
HI,
Was pretty sure I was getting a yeast infection yesterday, so I got a one-day Monistat treatment. Thought the "ovule" would be less irritating than a cream, but woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I'd sat on an anthill!!

I've spent today rinsing & rinsing with cool water & it seems to have died down now.
What happened????
This IC business is just so undignified!!!!!!

I hope you feel better soon. It's hard to look dignified when your crotch hurts! It could be that what you have is not yeast. If you aren't better by tomorrow, it would be a good idea to get in touch with your doctor.

I think you should see a doc and be sure it is a yeast infection. Sure hope you feel better soon.
YEAST LIST: Boric Acid, Aci-gel (insert it at night, it maintains the ph of the vagina & yeast can't live when there's an acidic environment - or can use apple cider vinegar in water) and also washing externally with tea-tree oil diluted in water. \acidopholous tablets, a wet towel with s AZO yeast, http://www.ghtbiz.net/rescue/nocandida/lead.html, Any probotics, Flora-Q The Flora-Q is made by Kenwood Therapeutics. It contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus paracasel, and Streptococcus thermophilus -- these are all bacteria that normally live inside your digestive tract. What you do is take a capsule a day for a few days during antibiotic treatment and then a couple afterwards, and this replaces your normal flora, making it much less likely to to get yeast infections. (Nystatin, Diflucan by prescription.)
