yeast infection for 7 yrs. - Help!

July 6, 2005

I will try and make this as short as possible. I'm new to this chat

room. I have been suffering with chronic yeast infections for the

past 7 years. (I'm now 27) No gyno/dr. has been able to help. I

have been tested for all stds and they all came back neg. I have

seen dr. ledger in NYC and the test for vular vestibulitis came back

neg. I am on the pill but started it after symptons appeared. My

symptoms have gotten slightly better through the yrs. I used to be

very itchy, red, and swollen, but now I'm still itchy. I get

irritated and when my symptoms do flare up, I do get a white milky

discharge, but for the most part I am dry. I too, have tried every

antifungal imaginable. I have also tried seeing an acupuncturist who

put me on a strict no yeast/carb diet but it was very difficult for

me to stay on (I am thin to begin with) When I have sex, I'm okay.

It hurts very little. Once I orgasm though if my boyfriend doesnt

within 2 min I start getting irritated. After sex is a problem for

me. I will urinate right aftre and it burns and I will also be very

red and irritated. I put pure aloe on and it feels better. Then the

next day i'm itchy and irritated and the day after tend to flare

up. I no longer wear underwear b/c it irritates me and makes me

feel more dry and sometimes when I wipe with toliet paper I itch.

The best medicine that has worked for me is boric acid

suppositories. Right now my gyno has me on those once a wk and

diflucan which doesn't seem to help. These drs. tell me I have

yeast infections but all my cultures come back neg. does anyone have

symptoms like me. Now remember I was told that I dont have v.v.

please someone help me. What has worked for you?
