    PLEASE HELP!! yeast infectin SO PAINFUL and won't go away! any suggestions?

    i have posted on here before with what i thought was vulvodynia, only for it to be a horrible yeast infection. the symptoms are horrible burning, discharge that comes and goes, and redness that comes and goes that looks and feels like sunburn. i have had this since september. i have taken a three day dose of terazol in september, then in october a one 150mg. tablet of Diflucan, then in november 6 days of 50mg Diflucan, and now a month worth of 50mg Diflucan. I am on day 10 and have had NO relief!!! I am swollen and in so much pain!!!!! This is my FIRST yeast infection. i am taking acidophilus twice daily, along with garlic pills and cranberry. I just douched with yeast gard that is a probiotic douche. i don't know how much more of this i can take. if this is a resistant strain, IS there ANYTHING that will make it go away? has anyone else had such problems? i am becoming severly depressed and don't know what to do. please help!!!!

      I had one just like that and they gave me the same stuff to take .I also would take a cold wash cloth and dab myself with it down thereand bought some of that yeast infection cream from walmart and take and put some out the outside also just gently do it this helped me alot because like u said i was burning so bad and swollen so bad but try that and see if that dont help make sure the was cloth has like a little bit of water in it kinda dripping and just hold it there for a while then put the cream on then lay wash cloth back on for few more min.dont rub just blot .Hope this works for u as it did for me.

        It won't cure it but it will provide you with a little bit of relief.... Ice packs.... sounds strange but it works. Monistat or Gynolotromin is what I've always used and they have a 1 day, 3 day and 5 day treatment course.... don't think going with the one day it'll be gone in one day, it usually takes 3-5 no matter what treatment you use... I can sympathize with you. I hope you find some relief very soon. Good luck.
