The Monistat burns? I thought you said the Vagisil did.

Ok.. Vagisil is just for the vulva and lips... not for the vagina itself. Its only for external application.

Monistat has two different creams... the one you insert, and the other, usually in a much smaller tube, that you put on the vulva and lips. Monistat doesnt work for me, but I dont have the burning you talk about. Not saying you cant, its just not a normal side effect.

A cool cloth or yogurt will help with the itch until you get the Diflucan. Personally, I use AZO for yeast infections, over the counter, until I can get my hands on a Doctor.

We will also get plain yogurt for helping with the itchies, can it be plain greek, or does it need to be plain regular, and isn't it really to goopy to really put in an applicater or do you freeze it a bit first?

I think this particular round of ouchie fun was brought on by masturbating several times in several days sometimes 3 a day when I was a wee bit to dry to glide properly, and I kept using spit to get over the rough spot, no pun intended. Do you guys think that could be it, cause nothing else really new for me going on right now and it seems a bit to close to the event to be a co incidence.

Lgh: Diabetics are very, VERY prone to yeast infections.

Someone already said that, but you did not respond, so I thought you may have missed it.

I have somewhere a tea tree and peppermint bar of soap, I love that tingling coolness. I need to get another bar!

LGH, for quick relief put ice and water in a glass, lie down with your feet elevated, and put that glass right between your thighs against your girly bits. Instantly calms things down and reduces swelling.

I learned a great, cheap, natural trick from my Gyn to thwart yeast. Buy about a dozen 00 empty gelatin capsules and boric acid powder (most pharmacies will have both). Boric acid is so mild it can be used in your eyes. It will change the pH of your vagina and kill the yeast. Have the pharmacist show you how to easily fill the capsules (there's a technique on a cutting board that works great). Wet the filled capsule with clean water and use your finger to insert. 1 capsule every night before bed until you feel better. No goopiness, very little mess, problem solved for a couple of bucks.

Whenever you feel one coming on, douche w/1 TB of white vinegar in a quart of warm water. That will wash out existing yeast and instantly change the pH. Then, insert the boric acid capsule. That should head things off before they go crazy in there.

As for peppermint soap, Dr. Bronner's is the old standby. Every health food store should have it.

BV is a bitch to deal with. Got one after a D&C. Doctor had to prescribe an antibiotic that I was not allergic to. I can tell it was not a yeast because of the strange smell (rotten fish).
