Re: Any ideas what might be the cause?

[Guest guest]

Hi Brandee, if you could tell me a few things please.

What exactly are your symptoms??? pain, burning, vular pain, internal pain, back

or hip/leg pain?

If you are negative for a yeast infection why do you say it is like a 7 month

infection?

This might help shed some familiarity to the other sufferers on this board.

Thanks.

Brandee,

I think you should try estrace cream and stop the Diflucan. Personally I

think it is a great short term yeast medicine but I don't think that is your

problem. If it is your problem obviously it is a form that Diflucan does

not work on or you would be better by now. When I took Diflucan long term I

got a burning rash on my arm that I am pretty sure was a shingles type of

outbreak. Same thing happened when I used antifungal on my toenails.

Unfortunatly with the yeast and oxolate diet I think the idea is that you

have an intolerance to thease things and that like an allergie it is

something you have to deal with for life.

the only thing I have seen from people on the yeast free diets is they never

can get off of them. they always say if I take one bite of sugar my

symptoms come back. so has anyone gotten off of it and been successful?

No, I actually don't have any discharge...just the normal clear discharge

that mostly occurs around ovulation or when sexually stimulated.

Itching and burning. When it's mild it's just on the front part of my vulva

(around the clitoris and urethra). When it's more severe my whole vagina

also itches and burns and sex is painful.

It feels like a low grade yeast infection so I've been referring to it as

such, even though I have no idea if that's what it really is. I guess yeast

infection doesn't sound as scary as a vulvar disorder. I guess a more

accurate description is mysterious vulva/vaginal irritation.
