Not a YI, not BV, not an STI...so...what is it?

[so-much-udder.livejournal.com]

So I've been having a terrible time with what I thought to be a YI, until I got a call from my doctor today. I called her since the last pill she gave me to use in tandem with Monistat 3 didn't work, so I've been trying so hard to get a hold of her. She tells me that nothing came up on the swab she took; Not a YI, not BV, not an STI. I'm on antibiotics and I've been having a lot of itching, hairline cuts, and so I figured it was a YI. I thought maybe I could get something that helped YIs even while on antibiotics, since I am going to be on them for a long time. I was also asking her for a referral, since she, as my family doctor, doesn't seem to be helping me very much. In the meantime, waiting for her to call me back, I've been using garlic cloves to help stay sane. They work for about two days but then the itching returns. What I don't understand is, when she was initially checking me out, she said I clearly had an infection of some sort. Okay. So how can nothing show up on the swab? And she prescribed me to take a diflucan pill every month after my period for three months. But...if it's not a YI why is she expecting that to work? Anyways, so my question is, has anyone had something like this, or have any idea of what it could be if my swab came out normal? I'm going to still ask for the referral, but holy crap this has taken months. I cannot believe how difficult it is to get proper medical help.

Do you (or anyone) know where I could get that? I looked at a pharmacy but I couldn't find it and the pharmacist had never heard of it and had to look it up. I live in Canada, btw.

It's usually near first-aidy stuff like hydrogen peroxide. I don't know if you'll find it at a bigger pharmacy like a Shopper Drug Mart. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I think some states don't sell it behind the counter because I have had zero success finding it :( Only thing I am able to find is something called "PIC Roach Killer" *sigh*
