[Guest guest]

For years I get them(candida) all the time ,several times a

month .More on the outside (vulvar)than the inside.It is horrible! I

cant have sex or pee(without pain) most of the month.I have been to

all kinds of

doctors and all they say is " Yep you got another yeast

infection " .Well Duh ! I have been on diflucan and nystatin cream(for

vulvar)for years.I use sensitive soap ,eat yogurt,wear loose

clothes.I am at a loss,I

am miserable.Anybody have this ?I feel all by myself on this one:(

Any suggestions?

I am curious to know if these yeast infections were and are all confirmed by

culture? Sooooo many of us have been told we have systemic or chronic yeast

and it isn't true at all - we have vulvodynia - a disorder that often looks

and acts like yeast - but isn't that at all.

Docs are too quick to confirm yeast with only a visual exam and not back it

up with clinical proof.

If you aren't getting confirmed cultures, you could really be doing yourself

much more harm than good by using so much antifungal.

Please try not to use any soaps at all on your genital area. It will really

be okay for you not to, many of us on the list don't. Soap is an irritant

because of all the many chemicals in it. If you feel you have to use a

soap of some kind, try something like KISS MY FACE Pure Olive Oil Soap.

Also - even though most folks think this is nonsense, change your laundry

soap to one of the FREE AND CLEAR ones - of which there are several. These

are laundry soaps which are free and clear of dyes and perfumes - chemicals

which can and will irritate sensitive skin.

Nystatin has always made my yeast infections worse. How many Diflican do you

take? Just one? Has your yeast been cultured to see what will kill it?

If you want to stick with the pharmaceutical companies - you may want to try

Nizoral, Lamisil or Sporonox.

If you don't, you can try the methods women used to use like boric acid or

the something violet thingy. The purple stuff. Gent something or another.

There's also probiotics like Three Lac.

And as Dusty mentioned, unless your doctors are actually testing you for

yeast, you may not have yeast.

I have had confermed cases of yeast,they look under the microscope.I

used to only get them right before my period.Now its when ever.They

give me a once a month pill (diflucan)it use to work but not

now.Everytime I go in for a PAP smear they tell me I have a YI.Then

test me for aides and diabetes.When I was nursing kids I always gave

them thrush.My 11 year old was diagnosed with thrush a few weeks

ago.I can see my clitoris (spelling ?)get a white haze on it when

I'm getting that burning feeling.It sucks ! The gyn/drs just say I

am yeast prone and do nothing.I have been to several different drs.

,

You may want to do a search for healing candida. Conventional Dr.s know

nothing about it but it sounds like that is what may be at the core of your

problems.
