Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone has advice here on something I have not solved yet. Before I got ic, I constantly had bv and yeast infections and would constantly get swollen and red after sex. This was chronic until I got my ic. Now I am taking femdophilus and knock on wood no more bv but my yeast seems chronic. Every time I sleep with my husband I get a yeast infection. Very predictable. Very much a huge irritant. I have to keep taking diflucan. I get swollen after sex, my muscles tense before and during sex and then I get an infection right after. What the heck? My urologist said this was a gynecological problem. I have been to the gyn over and over. Any similar experiences? I was reading about physical therapy for pain. Maybe this could help? So my questions are: 1. Are there any Meds for the swollen burning pain that have worked for you? I feel like my vagina is always inflamed. But I thought our bladders were important?? Very confused. 2. Has physical therapy helped anyone with these similar symptoms?
On a positive note Atarax has helped me so much with pain. 25 MHD. 1 x per night. Yes, it makes me sleepy but the drowsiness has now gone that I initially felt during the day. FYI. My elavil (when I take it on a limited basis in extreme pain) I cut in half from 5 mgs to12.5 mgs. It works at that dose for me. Thanks in advance for any advice. I am so grateful to you all as I have learned so much that has enabled me to feel better from this site.
