The good and the bad

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone--

Some of you may not know me, I used to post on this group a lot when

my vulvodynia was really bad. The good news is that that is GONE, for

the most part. Any problem now pales in comparison (mine was severe

and disabling). However, I am now for the THIRD time in my life

dealing with a bad yeast issue. Severe yeast infections were what

brought my pain on in the first place.

Anyway, thanks to (in a matter of 3 months) 3 rounds of antibiotics (2

for BV), a complete disaster of an attempt at taking hydrocortisone to

treat an adrenal issue, moving into a severely mold infested apartment

despite my attempts to ensure that there wasn't a mold problem, and a

new doc (I recently moved) who wouldn't give me a high enough thyroid

dose, I now have a systemic resistant yeast problem. Glabrata has

cultured from both my bowel and vagina.

So I know the drill (although I can't find a med that helps)....but I

guess I just wanted to share how disappointing this is. As I said, I

am still on cloud 9 about my pain being gone, but it really sucks to

have a yeast issue. The dietary restrictions really get me down and

make me feel crazy and stressed out. The antifungal meds do not work

for me! I need to find a doc to treat me for mold and yeast allergies

but I am not up for the fight of finding another doctor right now.

So I'd love to chat with anyone else who is going through this. And, I

really don't understand why I have such a problem with this. It always

comes back. That is, if I don't stay on the completely unreasonable

diet, which in my mind is not sustainable.

Anyway, nice talking to you all.
