Jennifer,
Has the pill helped you? I hope so, they are pretty strong. Of course
all our bodies are different and some things just don't work as well on
some as they do on others. Sorry to sound gross, but I suffer from a
lot of discharge and odor and itchiness from my yeast infections. Do
you have those similar symptoms or is yours different. I had a nasty
infection when I was in the hospital while pregnant with my second
child. I had a catheder and that is what caused it, but the infection
went down my thighs. They applied cream for a long time and then one
doc. gave me a diflucan and cleared it up. I won't use anything but
that from now on. I've used it from time to time, but quite often I
just ride it out. They are no fun, that is for sure. Us women sure get
hit with some nasty stuff, don't we!!!???!!?!? :)
Take care!
Hugs~
