hello gals...

i was just wondering if any of you have had any adverse reactions to Monastat-1?

i used it on sunday night, and monday i found that my inner labia on the right was swollen like a ball (almost as if i had a cyst). my clit, clit hood, and inner labia all just could not be touched; it hurt to pee, it hurt to wipe. it was awful. i called my doc, and she said to soak in a hot tub (which i did), and i made an appointment to see her today. it hurt so much to walk, because the swollen labia would rub on my outter labia. i was just wondering if this is what other women have experienced.
(ive used a 1-day treatment for yeasties before, but maybe it wasnt monastat. i didn't have this reaction the first time i used the treatment.)

Me Too!

I had this problem with a different one-day cream...I can't remember which, but I'll never use one again. Both my inner and outer labia were swollen...it looked like I had another vagina in there. Not only could I not pee, but I could barely walk. I took some Benadryl, and the swelling went down in about an hour after that. For me, it was an allergic reaction to the strength of the dose of the cream.

It's uncomfortable, but it goes away.

The swelling didn't become noticable until about 4 hours after I put the thing in. And at 1.00 in the morning, I called my mother in such a panic...I thought it was never going to go back to normal! But it does...sooner than not.

Totally happened to me. That's the last time I cure with an OTC.

GO NATURAL.

What I did (as told to me by Inga Muscio):
I cleaned the goopy stuff out of my cunt. Then, I soaked a tampon in plain yogurt and put it in before I went to bed. The yogurt totally helped the itching and swelling. The next morning, I put boric acid in a 00 sized gel capsul (which I bought from the pharmacy). I put one in in the morning, and another at night. I also kept using the yogurt soaked tampons for about 4 or 5 days.

It worked like a charm. I now have enough boric acid to treat an epidemic of yeast infections. The whole cure cost me less than the OTC. Go Natural. Go Natural. Go Natural.

I wonder if you could put yoghurt in the cup of a keeper, and have it work the same way..

I'm thinking no. The idea is to have the yogurt against the walls of your cunt, not just sitting in there in a cup. And my keeper totally aggrivated my infection. The little tab made me horribly itchy. Oh, and I'd imagine it would be hard to insert the keeper if it had stuff in in -- I try to squish mine as much as possible to put it in.

I like the way that cure sounds, despite the work involved. Maybe I'm just lazy. The whole yogurt thing sounds nice...like I can just imagine being cooled off by it.

Here's a stupid question, though: you insert the boric acid caps into the cunt? And they dissolve...? I never really put anything in there that's not flesh or dildo, so I was just curious about that.

I was a bit skeptical myself, but you just shove them right on in there. They dissolve and make magic happen. The plain yogurt was a little messy, but I found it fun. Maybe I didn't stress the plain part enough (flavored yogurts have sugar in them which would fuel the yeast).

haha. that totally happened to me once after having sex. i didn't take anything (ie monistat) or even have a yeast infection. i just couldn't walk cuz i had swollen up so damn much. i went to the doctor and she actually said "holy shit" when she saw it, and it had gone down some. she said it may be herpes but she had never seen it like that, she tested me, came back as negative, the swelling went down later that day.

the only conclusion i could come to was i took ecstacy the night before and maybe i had some over stimulation. it was pretty fucking scary though.

I'm allergic to the one day stuff. Aparently there's actually a different chemial used in the 1 day than in the 3 or 7 day. A lot of women have adverse reactions to it. I use the 3 day. Quick enough and no work.

That's horrible. I actually had a similar thing happen to me with Monistat-1...that one day stuff can be too strong for some I guess depending on the brand.
