Yeast Infections from hell!!!?
For the past 10 months (since mid Jan 09) I have been dealing with an on going yeast infection. Prior to this I never had one in my life. I’m not sure what triggered it, but I’ve done plenty of homework and I was on a antibiotic last July 08 and this past Feb 09 for pneumonia. I’ve been seeing 2 different doctors probably around 13 times and I’m always told something I already know, "You have a yeast infection" or "It’s bacterial vaginosis". I’ve wasted money on around 16 of the 7 day treatments a few of the 3 days, bottles of Acidophilus supplements, Diflucan, no relief. I’ve gone the holistic route, boric acid, iodine, peroxide everything. I’m at the end of my fuse, I don’t understand how the doctors cant guide me in some direction of relief. This was taking a toll in my personal life, my fiance is in the Navy and has been gone for a month and a half. Doctors were insistent that I wasn’t giving myself a "break" haha - the poor guy was/is so supportive, sex was never brought up, it was painful. Even with him gone its still here, raging as ever. They suggested I be tested for diabetes because that is one of the causes of infections - it came back as anemia and im on prescription strength folic acid. I just want to know if you have any suggestions for me, maybe a certain type of specialist I should see.
Also I’m not on birth control, i don’t have multiple partners, i don’t smoke, and im 22. I don’t crave sweets what so ever and Im a vegetarian borderline vegan as of December 08.
