wow, I have had a MILLION yeast infections, but never one that hurt... only when I had a bacterial infection did it actually hurt
but OH BOY it really does hurt to sit! And it feels so DRY down there, like sandpaper. and its so itchy. i am taking an antibiotic right now, and normally it does give me a slight reaction to it, but never one like this...I need some desperate relief! I can't go to a drugstore to get anything until Monday though...oh its so terrible oo oo oo. lol. I want to rip it out. Any advice? I have yogurt, but it has fruit in it so thats out...any other regular household things to help me out? thanks. sitting SUCKS!!

hi,

i stumbled upon you message, but i'm sorry i don't think i know what is wrong considering that i myself have no idea if i have a yeast infection or not. but i just wanted to know if you have had a yeast infection in where it didn't hurt at all but it was a little bit itchy with minor peeling. the itchiness woould only be there for short periods of time. mine has been getting better though. please reply when u have the time. thanks

most of my past yeast infections are just minor itchiness, lots of peeling, and slight tenderness. this one seemed to relax after I finally got to sleep last night. Do you take anything for yours? I never have- only for the bacterial infection. I used to drink cranberry juice like crazy to help them though. Thats probably why this one is more painful- because I haven't touched any cranberries lately. I have another doctors appt. tomorrow though, so I will demand something from him.

Ohhhh, i even hesitated before reading this post, my luck is always if i think about a bv or yeast or read about it,,,,,,,,give me 5-10 days and im game for one. They are just absolutely miserable. I take a soft hand towel, wrapped around a baggie of ice, and place it between my legs at night to sleep.
