Does anyone get yeast infections out of the blue and often? This has been only in the last year for me, at least every other month. I take natual supplements for it and still get these..any ideas????

Hi Janet,
There was a thread a while back about candida yeast being a possible cause of FM. Just an FYI. As far as vaginal yeast infections - yup, I get them. I used to have a standing prescription for the pill for yeast infections - can't remember the name now. The infections have tended to calm down for me, thankfully. They're awful to have!!!
God bless, Jen

Acidophilis is used for treating yeast infection, you can get it in supplement form but be sure to get a good quality you can even get it in liquid form we used to give it to the grandchildren after rounds of AB, you really can't get enough just by eating yougurt and other sources high in acidophilis to get rid of the infection.
This may be TMI but my daughter use to get yeast infections so bad they would eat her panties and a NP told her to douche with pure yougurt and it would help and it did.
Funny I didn't see the thread but was just reading a book "The Yeast Conection" it's rather out dated but it has pretty much the same symptoms as FM, I wish I hadn't lost my mind I'd love to remember what I read.
Good luck with the yeast inf.

Yes!!!
This is me too. I get them a lot more frequently than I used to and it seems like I'm very prone to them, I've even gotten them on my skin. I've also come to find that these yeast infections are more stubborn. I used to be able to take one diflucan and within 12-24 hours, my infection was gone, now I have to take a big 250 mg pill wait several days and then take another one all the while using acidopholous and sometimes and OTC product too. It's frustrating to me (and my husband too as I'm either just getting over one or just getting one and they do interfere with spousal relations). I've had wet prep tests done and there's nothing else going on but I have made acidopholous a regular in my medicine/daily supplement routine just for extra measure!
