Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi Guys-- Well my nurse called me today to let me know that my culture was positive for glabrata. This probably sounds weird but I'm kind of relieved that it was positive because I felt sure that that was what was going on and I knew if the culture wasn't positive I wouldn't get treatment. I'm definitely not happy about having this issue, but after a couple of months of symptoms, and two rounds of BV treated with Flagyl I'm happy to have some documentation/proof. The first nurse I went to at school said she would only treat me for non-albicans yeast if I could show her records that showed I had it (yet she would not do a culture herself). Well now I can tell her that I WAS RIGHT!!! So they are Rxing me Vfend, it is a newer generation drug in the diflucan family. Does anyone know anything about it?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey ,Though I do not have experience with VFend....and I'm glad something finally cultured. Knowing what you are dealing with is at least half the battle. Hopefully someone will have some info for you...Take Care,Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 No, I haven't heard of VFend, I'm curious to also hear if any of you ladies have any info on it. I take a difulcan pill when I feel a yeast (Candida) infection coming along, along with Yeast Gard homeopathic suoppositories....you can buy this product at Walmat, I absolutely swear by it. ~~ yeast culture positive for glabrata Hi Guys-- Well my nurse called me today to let me know that my culture was positive for glabrata.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi: Years ago in another group someone used Vfend for Glabrata. I don't remember if it worked. I think her name was turnpike tramp. Don't know if she was in this group too and maybe it would be in the archives.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hey, I have taken vfend. I took it for two seperate one month long treatment rounds. It is really expensive & can have serious side effects, but it made me feel much, much, much better each time I took it.Subject: yeast culture positive for glabrataTo: VulvarDisorders Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2008, 5:11 AM Hi Guys-- Well my nurse called me today to let me know that my culture was positive for glabrata.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Oh sorry. I should have mentioned the side effect that I had. It effected my vision. Everything was really bright. This is even listed as a possible side effect on the info you get from the pharmacy. For me this was right after taking the drug, so I started taking it right before bed. After I stopped taking it altogether, my vision returned to normal. Scary, I know, but I don't regret taking it at all. It helped me more then anything.
