[Guest guest]

One of the girls from another group used it. I think she ended up using boric

acid suppositories afterwards.

Hi , You are in my prayers. There may be something of a die-off reaction aka Herxheimer reaction. I get this and never know if it is the meds working or me being allergic and then I give up. I too have terrible yeast problems with non-Albicans yeast. Mine is Krusei. I hope you don't get the die-off and you just get better and better. Best wishes, Sandi
