and everybody else who responded, Thank you for the info. What else have you tried for the glabrata? I have never tried Vfend but am considering it. Did you try the boric acid too? Did it not help?

I'm by no means cured of my original vulvodynia symptoms, but I do believe I developed glabrata in response to my overusing antibiotics and antifungals like diflucan.>> There was something on Amazon.com or maybe drugstore.com that looked > interesting.
