Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 Sparky; I would start to exercise such as walking 2 miles & going strict on my diet ,on the second day after the exercise i would quit my period. if i took a hot bath, it would stop. can't think of any more ways, it's been a while. 3 days after i had mine done your supposed to take it easy for 6 weeks? i started getting so much energy i never had before in my entire life and started doing housework galore, BUT...... i never realized the reason i felt good was because that yeast was gone. & i should of stayed on the diet and did medications and i wouldn't be in this mess now!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 I also have blood sometimes when I whip myself. The only time that this happens is when I'm using either cream or suppositories for my yeast infections, which I've used every month for at least the past 4 years. I thought that maybe it was from using these medications too often. I don't spot unless I'm on these products. Extremely Personal... Delete if you can't handle it. This questions is very personal, and I hope i do not offend anyone with it.... But I warn of the personal content, so if you think you cannot handle it, please do not read any further.... delete this message now. Okay, I am really embarrassed to ask this question... This afternoon I had to urinate, and i found blood in the vaginal area... it is not my period, it just ended a couple weeks ago. But today, there was evidence of blood upon whiping myself. Again, i am not intending to gross anyone out. I just want to know if anyone else has experienced bleeding with candida? This is not the very first time that blood has appeared though. Many times my skin is chaffed in the vaginal area, and I can practiclly whipe away the dead skin due to the candida, and sometimes I am able to remove some of the discharge from the cervical area in which sometimes blood is present. I don't mean to be gross, but I am an exploratory kind of person, I love the medical profession, and I am into healing. So this is not meant to be disrespectful to anyone. I just want to know if any of you have had this same thing. Please help me with your comments or suggestions. I am going to make an appointment for my annual papsmear, though I am scared to death to go because I hate those things, it is really painful for me. I almost cried last year when I had one done. Anyway, hope you can help me. Thanks a lot. Sherrie in DC. Send blank message to candidiasis-unsubscribeonelist if you want to UNSUBSCRIBE !

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2000 Report Share Posted August 2, 2000 I'm curious to know about the smell also by inserting garlic into your vagina. I would think that you wouldn't be able to stand yourself, much less anyone else being around you. Just the thought of it gives me the willies! Extremely Personal... Delete if you can't handle it. Mogdrmom, Thanks so much for your reply. I will try the fresh garlic glove. What is that going to do about odor though? Will I smell like garlic all day? Also, another question... I read that cotton underwear absorbs moisture, what about powder? Is that a good idea? Some of you might think I'm a morran (if I spelled it righ), but I have just learned so much from being on this list, and I thought maybe someone could help me with questions I have had. I didn't make an appointment today, but I will definitely call my gynocologist first thing in the morning for an appointment. I am scared though, because I know something is definitely wrong, but I don't know what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Hi Mogdrmom, I am just the curious type,,,,,,,,,I never have tried the garlic,,,except for the pills. Oh,,,,before I forget,,,Lee---if you are reading this,please,please keep on writing those wonderful posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if tea tree oil would help the corners of my mouth and also,the vaginal yeast,when it comes.I think you put a certain amount of the oil in water and use it as a douche.

Also, does any one of you get terrible abdominal pain? I had a period that ended 2 days ago, yet I'm still getting bad ovarian pain. Do any of you get this? I can't type well because of the stabbing pain in my abdominal cavity - where one would find the intestines. Sorry, did not want to gross you out.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Dear Sherrie STOP APOLOGIZING. I am very very very insistent that NOTHING should be out of bounds on this list. The thought of someone suffering real misery because they are too embarrassed to mention something because of the particular body part it occurs in makes me really upset. I can't help with your problem but I just wanted to make that point. I would see the doctor if I was you. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Sherrie Perhaps not wise to stick anything inside your vagina without advice. Has anyone considered not wearing panties? I never wear them if I wear a long Indian skirt, which I do most days. Give the area an airing, say I. Also candida spores on the panties are not killed by today's low temperature washes. You will re-infect yourslef again and again. Wear no panties, or boil them, or if they won't stand it, iron just the gusset with a very hot iron. I never had vaginal candida - I took all that from a Candida book by Dr Brewer (Amazon.Com). Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Who cares about the smell of garlic? Better than being ill. If someone on the bus starts sniffing and frowing, you just say: " it's okay, it;s just the garlic clove in my vagina! " I would Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 One thing I learned through having candida is that every body part may be affected, especially personal parts such as the intestines and sexual organs. And, to get rid of it, we often have to do very personal things, such as enemas, colon cleanses that cause gas, douches, etc. The first thing I had to toss out the window when treating this disease is the idea that anything's too personal. It affects every bodily system and every aspect of our lives. We can't afford to be silent about anything just because it's 'personal'. Whatever is discussed, most of us have been there or have friends who have. Feel free to discuss anything you need to on list. We totally understand.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Sparky: i have never had to use the garlic other than a capsule, i've only had about 2 vaginal yeast infections in my entire life & never really had a problem with them. i haven't used the tea tree oil either so i don't know. sorry!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 , i haven't had the ab. pain but if this was me i would lay down and massage it deeply, possibly do some leg to chest exercise, now i'm just saying if this were me i would try it. i am into massages and exercise, you might try rubbing oil or oreganol on the stomach before massaging!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Hi ,,,,, Wait till you hear this one!!!!!!!!! In answer to your question,,,,yes,,,I had pain,whether or not I was bleeding.OK,,,,,here goes.I had a hysterectomy and I have had a BSO (removal of both ovaries and both tubes) I have what I call phantom ovary pain,,,,cause I have no more ovary!!!!!!!!! I have done alot of reserch in that area and I found lots of reasons for pain like that,,,located exactly where the right ovary used to be.Adhesions,,,confused nerve impulses to the brain,,,ovarian remnant syndrome,,,,,hematomas,,,abcesses,,,,ligaments pulling,,,,where they use the ligaments to support the pelvic floor and the vaginal cuff closure. Anyway,,,,,,,,I was viewing a hysterectomy in progress,,,and it was being done totally laparoscopically,,,,so,in order to remove the uterus,,,ovaries and tubes,,,,(it was a supracervical hyst,so the cervix was left in place)....they have to use a morcellator,which literally grinds things up and sucks them out through the trocars,,,,,and they have to be very careful with the ovarian tissue,,,because,,,if any of it goes a stray,,,it could find a blood supply and regenerate somewhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are interested in seeing a laparoscopic hysterectomy on-line,go to: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/3195.167 I find all of this so interesting,,,,,I hope I didn't bore you!!!!

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 Also the very disease we are talking about concerns the bowels and vagina, so we can hardly avoid talking about them Anyway to stay on the same note, I think I have got my period today. That is, the toilet paper was slightly pink and I am waiting to see if it develops into a proper period. This would be wonderful news as I have not had one in four moths, after a lifetime of regularity. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2000 Report Share Posted August 3, 2000 I had an experience where I began bleeding and I knew it wasn't my period. My gyno did an ultra sound, and found that I had a fibroid tumor that was rubbing against my cervix that was causing the bleeding. It's not normal to bleed when you are not on your period. You need to make yourself an appointment with the doctor. ~debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Then you are as naughty a girl as me! Lucky I wore them today though. You will all be pleased to hear that my period has returned after an absence of four months!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2000 Report Share Posted August 4, 2000 Sherrie The only blood that I have handled with candida is my monthly period which is pure hell. I also used to have constant bleeding (drops) between my periods. Speak to your gynaecologist.
