    ANOTHER yeast infection!!!

    I just got over 1 yeast infection which I believe I got thanks to some antibiotics I was on.
    I got another one a few days ago perhaps from a cycle of steroids I was on?? but either way this one is horrid. I am having lots of itching & swollen, swollen vaginal area plus the burning. Is there ANYTHING besides the OTC creams that I can use to help ease this??? I already treated myself with a 1 day cream last nite, but its driving me NUTS!

    Please get in touch with your doctor. There are prescription medications that are very effective in killing off yeast.

      Yes, call your Dr. like Donna said. I was going to say the same thing.

        I take diflucan every week just to prevent yeast. You can't take this and also take elavil. I am sensitive to creams and they don't help. Whenever I am given antibiotics I ask for diflucan because I always get a yeast infection.
        Diagnosis: IC '09, vulvodynia '10, fructose intolerance '06, GERD '06, fibromyalgia '09, IBS '10 and TMJ '09, PCOS '11, genital herpes '12

        Current Meds: Butrans patch, welbutrin, lamictol, geodon, xanax, aldactone, linzess, topimax, trazadone and diflucan as needed.

        Meds tried before: Elmiron, elavil, antibiotics, welbutrin, cymbalta, prozac, nerve blocks, instills, nyastatin, flexerol, percocet, naproxen (which was what I was given for pain for years).
