Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 , It is possible that you have a strain of yeast that is resistant to diflucan. I am using the boric acid capsules (inserted into vagina) because they will get rid of strains that the diflucan won't. They are cheap and easy to make and it sounds worth a try for you. Diflucan used to work for me, too. Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. ~Friedrich Nietzsche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 This is what an article in MedLine says: Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis affects five percent of women of child-bearing age. The most common organism is Candidia albicans, but an increasing number of infections are caused by nonalbicans species. Fungal culture directs treatment as nonalbicans species may be azole resistant. C. albicans will respond to any azole antifungal. Treat C. glabrata with boric acid. Maintenance therapy should be started immediately after treatment of the acute episode and should last for six months. Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies. ~Friedrich Nietzsche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hi, I wanted to tell you that if Diflucan isnt clearing your yeast infection up maybe its not Candidia. Maybe it's Glabrata yeast. There are differnt strains of yeast. For instance Glabrata is resistant to Diflucan. You have to take Boric Acid. I'd find out what strain it is. Kind Regards --- wrote: ?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Good question and I've no idea, but I too have a Q. For those who take Diflucan (I never have) how long is it before you do see some results? A day, 2 or 3 or more? I dont mean someone with chronic yeast but just a typical normal one that usually goes away fairly fast and isn't chronic.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 In my experience, Diflucan usually starts working the day after I take it, for instance the burning and itching sensations decrease. However, it has typically taken about 4-5 days for my symptoms to totally disappear. If you are not seeing any results after 5 days max, I'd say you've got yourself a mutant and you need to pull out the big guns. angieDeeTroll wrote: Good question and I've no idea, but I too have a Q.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks Angie for your reply. I always wondered about that. I only use the one time antiyeast creams inserted like Vagistat... I burn like the dickens for a day with it (but was anyway) but by the 2nd day it's usually 50% better and by the 3rd it's gone for me. So I just wondered taking something systemically like the Diflucan how long it would take to work thru the system. Also just a note too to remind everyone is to think twice about using Erythromycin along with the Diflucan.... it can cause major heart problems, in fact they call it an erythromycin heart attack.. just a bad mix those systemic antiyeast meds and that antibiotic (I'd be leery of any antibiotic while on it myself) Hugs Dee~ ----- Original Message ----- From: Fitzpatrick In my experience, Diflucan usually starts working the day after I take it, for instance the burning and itching sensations decrease.
