vaginapagina | resistant YI/diflucan? (Reply)

hey everyone -

i've posted here before about my persistant and annoying yeast infection symptoms. i had been to the doctor several times, and every time she just took a look and told me it wasn't yeast, and that i was fine - that i was probably just sensitive down there (ha). i was itching and burning like crazy, so i obviously wasn't fine. so i followed y'all's advice and tried boric acid (after having tried OTC yeast infection treatments, tea tree oil, yogurt, acidophilus, the works..). i used boric acid every day for about a month and a half before stopping, and felt ok for a few days before my symptoms returned full force. i tried GSE (grapefruit seed extract) for a while, as well, taking it orally, and didn't find any relief. so, FINALLY, the other day, i got my doc to do a couple of tests and, lo and behold, she called me today saying i have a "massively heavy growth of yeast". big surprise. she prescribed me diflucan.

i've got a few questions though - if a month and a half of boric acid didn't even touch my yeast infection, how likely is it that diflucan will do anything? do you think the yeast might be so far up there that the boric acid just couldn't reach it? do you think this could be a bigger problem (candidiasis or whatever, if there's any stock in that..)? should i use boric acid and the diflucan together?

i'm so sick of having such a miserable vag! i'm scared that this shit will NEVER go away.. it's been so long. i dunno what to do.
