Cured, my story..

Hello ladies,

I was diagnosed with Vulvodynia 8 years ago, Ive been cured for over 2 years and just wanted to let everyone know my story.

Long Story short, I ended up curing myself with Clindesse vaginal antibiotic cream, but about 3 or 4 boxes of it, back to back, so treatment, every night for a little over a month, then Gyne Lotrimin (3 day) like another poster said on here, is awesome stuff. Its not irritating to the vagina like Monistat, and its more effective at curing the yeast issue problem.

The Clindesse takes care of the bacterial, the Gyne Lotrimin, the yeast.

I dont know why Gyne Lotrimin is so much more effective, even more than terazol from the doctor...

also, been on Metrogel, and diflucan pills do nothing..so some products are more effective than others. Longer, stronger courses of things work better.
Ive also gone to the doctor and got prescribed 24 hour ovules, 3 of them, back to back, when I had an intractable yeast infection one time...Ive always had womens problems...I also get chronic UTIs so Im frequently on antibiotics, which cause even more vaginal problems.

Hello Mary, So glad to hear you found a cure for your vulvodynia. How did it all start for you? How did you convince a doctor to prescribe you such a long course of Clindesse? Were you diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and do you know what bacteria was associated with it? Again, it's good to hear you are feeling better!

Hey there..well, I changed Gynos and saw a women that time, and she started me on 14 days worth, and then I begged her for a couple refills, (explaining I have really bad problems, and my husband and I had sex while on treatment, since we hadnt had sex in months and I was feeling so much better)..she was kind, and gave them to me..

You can also try going to different doctors and explaining your problem..I have IC and Ive done this to get more antibiotics since many doctors will not give enough for long enough. I get bladder infections that require at least 10 days worth instead of the typical 7 my body is so used to them, Ive been on TONS of antibiotics..anyway.
I would try seeing your family doctor and making up a story about how you had a vaginal infection a few years back and the only thing that cured you was clindesse, than hand them the squished up tube in a baggy...(lol) say you needed 14 days worth..I have a problem culturing out, Ive done tons of vaginal cultures and nothing would ever come out, finally I got lucky and BV cultured out and she gave me the clindesse that changed my life..2 weeks worth is key here but I did 3!

so, if your good enough at explaining things..and you have had a past history the doctor can look at that shows youve been having a problem and numerous tests for a long long time, I bet you can get them to presrcribe the stuff, even with negative culture..

Its not like your hustling pain pills, your hustling ANTIBIOTICS!!

Its soooo difficult to get them to prescribe anything anymore..and antibiotic along with bacterial and yeasts resistance is a growing problem..

so they are afraid to give you any decent course of antibiotics to cure anything anymore..

Antibiotics cause yeast infections, unfortunately. I saw a Dr who diagnosed me with a yeast infection and she said gynalotramine has steriods in it which is why its more helpful.

Unfortunately, i can't use it! Last time i used it I had a weird reaction to it. Diflucan works for me. So far, anyway.
