Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I have to say that I got my order for Three Lac on Saturday. I haven't tried it yet - I have a yeast infection now and am just afraid of anything right now. I know I probably should be using it, but for now I am just using the oral nystatin and trying not to consume much sugar! I felt better today, so maybe the nystatin is starting to work. I will be on it for another 10 days. I guess it took this long to start working? I also got my period today, so I was glad to not be so itchy.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 , Like Candi said, I think it could be " die off " also. Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hi again, The boric acid is a once a week thing. Sometimes it irritates me too. The next day I use a light tampon to help absorb some of the constant flow of melted suppository. I don't know if this is good or bad but it helps keep my skin protected and seems to do the job to keep me yeast infection free. I just picked up the hydrocortizone OINTMENT (less irritating) It is 2.5% (perscription strength) I used to use the estrace everynight and it seemed to help. I stopped using everything for about a month to see what my real symptoms were and added things slowly back to see what really helped. I also was trying not to use anything before my biopsy. I never felt as dry and and inflammed when I was using the estrace. I never peeled like I did last month. So....I'm back to using it nightly during and before my period then three times a week after that. The doctor that called it in for my is a dermatoligist here in California at Stanford Med. Univ. that runs a gyn clinic every Thursay. I have had the good fortune of having an appointment with her. She is very helpful and interested in hearing all about your sypmtoms. Her name is Joanna Badger if your from this area. Do you ever try Aveeno bath soaks during a flare up. I do them and they are the only thing that helps. Very soothing. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Candi, I was worried about using it more than once per day, as I wasn't sure how I would react to it (with the yeast, as well as the constipation that it can cause). So far, it is fine, though. So, after a little while more taking it once a day, I will probably increase it to 2x per day. I know you mentioned a stool sample showing the type of yeast, can't a regular swab culture do that as well? I remember Spadt saying to me at my first appointment that every time you have an appointment with her, she does cultures, and has them grow in the lab for 2-3 weeks to detect hard to detect yeast. I never questioned her about this, as yeast was never an issue for me UNTIL NOW!!!!! I paid 49.95 for my Three Lac on an internet store, not sure which one.
