I'm mad and suspicious!

You know? i have a sneaky suspician, that these yeast creams CAUSE vulvodynia. Also antibiotics! Some. anyway. I have been researching and digging and digging. Now I think there is some connection between these sulfa antibiotics(broad spectrum) and somehow it attacks the delicate V skins and tissues. Besides creating yeast.(we know that) Right? Thats one theory i have.
Now these yeast creams? if i knew that they would cause this much damage, i would have never used it. I tried not too. Only ONCE in my life i used an over the counter yeast medicine. And to end up like this????????????? this Junk ought to be taken off the market. I hate to see women ending up like this because of these medicines. Every time i run across someone like us, i ask? have you taken one of these antibiotics. They all say YES. weird coincidence huh? these medicines out there now a days are becoming DANGEROUS. Ever listen to the ads? i love the one on tv that says if you take this medicine, you may get a serious fungal infection. Thanks. Yum yum. Or thoughts of suicide? in our house, between me and my insignificant other, we have had about 6 rashes. He got excema from heart burn medicine. Me, the v problem form sulfa antibiotic. All from just a couple of medicines. And doctors? oh boy? they are alot of help. They have no clue what to do. Just mad today about the situation we are all in. Sick of it!cindy

I agree. I put so many creams on my vulva for "yeast infections" prescribed by well meaning doctors without swab tests. They need to go back to med school. I tell eveyone I know not to use topical yeast medications.

If only we knew then what we know now hey!

Aussie, i thought we here in the states were the only ones with dumbo doctors! guess not. They are taking over the world! AHHHHH.
Me too, I spread the word. There is one cream so bad, women have opened up a class action law suit. Burns them so bad they have to go to the emergency room.

From what I can gather US docs are way better than Aus docs. UK docs seem to have got the worst of the lot from speeking with others.

We don't even have vaginal valium here (well we do but specialists have not heared of it).

I can get some compounded at a later stage if I think it will help.

Hi, I think i got IC cos of chonic burning but anyway when i was 3 the doctors give me frequency use of antibiotic, I had them till i was 15 and now i got vulvodynia so yeah i think antibiotic can cause this condition, Im only 20 and so much stuff have happened to me that could cause vulvodynia i had been raped when i was 18 and im sure i could have sex with my fiancee but my head was so missed up (I meet him a month after) which caused so much pain knowing im with this brilliant guy and not being to "be a women" he so patient unlike me lol. Im the UK and the doctors here r crap, im with this new doctor in Wales and she seems okay, I met one doctor who told me it all in head, I was woundering have anyone cured vulvodynia with any tabs im on neurontin.

I take amitriptyline tablets...they have helped with burning. I still have soreness, rawness, and iritation. Inside and outside. The pain has spread to my bum. Im sick of this bullshit, honestly.

I was seeing a ''specialist'' (LOL they are anything but) and she told me it will eventually go away...I can get off the meds, etc etc....haha, I dont think so doc!

I have tried dilators, but they only help with penetration issues. The meds help some with the pain...but what can take away the irritation? I am constantly plagued by thoughts of my vulva,..whether at work or whatever. It hurts or itches or feels raw.

Im terrified of creams. I used way too much in the beginning of this ordeal. Doctor didnt warn me about the side-effects. I was on antibiotics a month before I developed V. There must be some correlation here. I dont know.

Blah
