--Hello Kathy, thank you for the info. I think I am in denial that I

have vulvadynia! I did have a nasty yeast infection a few weeks ago,

that triggered it. I am trying to get my doc to give me the oral

nyastatin. Can you tell me if a regular pharmasist can fill that

script? Or do I need to mail order it, If I get a perscription for

it?? The boric acid capsules WERE helping me alot, now it seems like

it is not. Thank you for the information! peace, hugs, and health.

TERRY PS it has improved alot. I watch my diet, but still have some

vaginal problems. So, this is something that I can control or get rid

of with maintence. I sure hope so!!!! Thank you again!

You should be able to get it with a regular prescription. Make sure

your doc writes it for oral nystatin powder. It comes in a dark

brown glass jar and needs to be refrigerated after it is opened.

Maximum potency is in the first 3 monts but I use mine longer than

that. I used it orally once and for the first 2 days felt a great

lifting of symptoms. Then they got much worse---a herx. I couldn't

tolerate it and backed off. Ihave never had a herx from using it

vaginally though. I read about this remedy on a book written

specifically about candida problems. I have had this prescription

filled at walgreens and CVS pharmacy. I am not sure all pharmacies

can get it, but many can. It usually takes a day or two as it is

not kept in stock. The downside is that it is very expensive

without insurance. If you have insurance you will probalby be ok.

I pay $25 and it lasts several months. But with no insurance it is

more like $80 or more dollars. Like you, I used boric acid with

good success at first but then it quit working. I always do good

with the nystatin. Also, Iuse the nystatin cream--is yellow and

comes in a tube --on my outer vulvar area when I get redness burning

etc. That seems to help. I think the cream is pretty reasonable.

It must be mild because it never irritates me. Another thing is

getting a tube of estrace estrogen cream. You apply a small amount

to the vulvar area either once or twice a day. This is on the

website I gave you. ESTrogen thickens and strengthens the fragile

tissue. This really helps some people. I thought it helped but

only use it occasionally now. You have to get a script for the

estrace. Hope your problem is better soon.

Hugs, kathy

--Kathy, thank you for the advice. I am going to bring your post to

my Dr. (appt. is in 2 weeks), and beg and plead for this stuff.I am

also going to bring the book the Yeast Connection with me. I keep

asking the doc. for nyastatin or diflucan(which helps me emmensly!),

and they are like no. I cannot understand after 4 years of being ill,

getting meds is like pulling teeth. I am so Fustrated! hugs and

health to you! TERRY

What kind of doc are you going to? Mine was a gynecologist. After

he realized he couldn't help me anymore, he said sure, why not, lets

try it. I really do like him as he has a fairly open mind.

Nystatin is one of the mildest and safest candida prescriptions out

there. A book I had on nystatin said it was safe even for children

and people with aids. Just tell your doctor that nothing else has

helped, that this is safe and you want to try it. The reason this

book recommended it was because it said that it often helped when

women could not tolerate the regular meds. Until I developed

vulvadynia I was fine with the regularly prescribed meds for yeast

infections. I always have a low level of yeast vaginally. It is

gotten somewhat better over the years as my immune system has

improved. The thing is that many doctors think you shouldn't have a

problem unless they see a raging yeast infection because many women

have low level yeast and it doesn't bother them. But for women who

develop hypersenstitivity-- as in fibromyalgia and vulvadynia--even

a very low level of yeast causes alot of discomfort. By low, I mean

that you can barely, if at all, tell that yeast is present. You

don't have to have a thick white discharge. The most obvious

symptom would be redness, irritation, swelling, etc. The name of

the prescription manufacturer is Paddock and the bottle says

150,000,000 units on it. This is what you want. Sometimes they get

mixed up and order the wrong thing. It must be ORAL NYSTATIN POWDER

and it is a yellow powder. You can also use this in an enema for

the colon, swish it in your mouth (it tastes terrible) or take it

orally. I just use it vaginally 99% of the time. Good luck!

Hugs, kathy

Kathy, thank you so much. You are a real great help to me. I had a

great Gyn, who used to give me the 30 days diflucan, to take for 1

week straight, every month. I used it longer than that, and it was

good. BUT he does not take my insurance anymore. He was at least very

compassionate, and really tried to help me. I may have to take a

visit to him, and see if he will give me the nyastatin. I aske my new

MD for it, and she was like...hhhmmmmm.. no. I don't get it! When I

go back in Aug. I am going to beg and plead with her. I Hope she

helps me. I can't understand. My new GYN. is of no help at all, and

last time I went to him, he rolled his eyes, and said, there is

nothing wrong with you. I cannot even get respect from a GYN. From my

own personal experience, I find the medical community very sad. I

hope I get the script! thank you again. have a great day! TERRY
