Finally going to the doctor tomorrow

[licoricesnocone.livejournal.com]

Okay, over the past two months or so I've been suffering/battling a gawd awful yeast infection.  I've been to planned parenthood, convenient care, and even the emergency room to try and find out if it's really evil yeast or something worse.  Usually I've been given Diflucan or Terazol and sent on my way without any answers. Tomorrow I'm finally going to my family doctor (insurance issues have delayed this) and I hope to get some answers. 

I know I need to ask about/get tested for:
My hbc and if it's a contributing factor
My blood sugar, should I fast before the appointment?
HIV

Can you lovely VPers think of anything else I may need to ask my doctor or get tested for?

Oh no, no side effects at all. I know boric acid sounds kind of scary, but its actually very gentle. Its not a strong acid. And its an ingredient in eye wash! They dilute it for that of course, but still.

People use it full strength, in capsules all the time. But if you're nervous about that (or just don't feel like making capsules!) you can just use it as a douche. I use about 1 heaping TB to 60ml water.

I've never felt even the slightest bit of burning or irritation, and have never heard from anyone who has.
