Re: Question about rebound effects from steroid cream.....Thanks to all

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I just wanted to write to say thank you all for all of

the great advice. Also, I wanted to update everyone on my condition.

I went to my OBGYN last Wed. Luckily he was out of town, so I saw

his female NP. I asked to be examined. I told her I was researching

on the internet and was thinking I had a skin yeast infection. When

she first saw what I looked like I thought she was going to fall off

her chair. She agreed that this is probably yeast. She tested for

yeast internally and found I had a flaming infection there too.

Nonetheless, I am on internal and external cream to treat the yeast.

Here's the weird part--I am not cured entirely, but I am pink for the

first time in 7months. Now I am wondering if this hasn't been yeast

for a very long time and the OBGYN was treating with steroid--ugh.

Live and learn, now I know for next time.

The bad thing is I have been on steroid cream now for half of my

pregnancy. This makes me nervous anyway, but it makes me mad if it

was actually unnecessary.

Again, thanks for all of your help :0)
