Cured, I'm back

Hey ladies, I didnt forget you all. I think I'm better. First let me tell you guys, I'm 51. So when I went to all these doctors they immediately said Menopause! WRONG. And I knew they were wrong too. My problem started with ONE yeast infection, caused by a bad antibiotic. Then that developed into burning, raw sore vulvodynia. Bad, bad bad. Crying bad. This is how I fixed it. I took ONE diflucan per week for ONE year. It took that long. Long time. And I didnt feel better at all, but I kept at it.
Another thing I did was put NOTHING down there. Nothing at all. Now, I had a doctor looking over the situation, but honestly he basically gave me the diflucan to get rid of me. The diflucan also gave me white discharge, which is now gone. After the year of diflucan was up, I still didnt feel that great, but it was coming less and less. Occasionally I popped another diflucan. Like one a month, then one every 6 weeks, then one every two months. TWO years later, I have to say its mostly gone. But it took TWO years. What I think the pill did, was simply keep the yeast in my system low. Low enough to give the skins time enough to somewhat heal up. occasionally i get a few days where things feel a bit irritated, but nothing unbearable. But anyways, I want to tell my story, and hope this helps someone, because i will never forget how miserable this experience was. Hope this helps. But if anyone trys this, make sure you have a doctor looking over you.

what dosage were you on?

I had read something like this before. So I asked my Dr. to put me on a weekly dose of Fluconozole (Diflucan), 150 mgs. I have taken this for about 3 or more months. So far it hasn't helped but I will continue to take it until my vagina falls off. Who knows, maybe this is the thing that will help. There is always hope, I guess.

Did you ladies every feel like the Diflucan was irritating? I think that Diflucan was what started me in this whole mess, and it kind of spiraled out of control. I also found it irritated my bladder, as strange as that sounds...

So pleased to hear you are better ! Im taking abreak from all creams and ointments and just rinsing with water and a sponge...
