Sarah, I've been where you are. The best piece of advice I can give is to REALLY try to find out if you are indeed having a chronic yeast infection or if you are now reacting to the use medications that are used. The yeast creams are fairly good at getting rid of infection. Like you, I've treated and treated and treated myself, only to be left with continual discharge and itching. I have found that I am having an inflammatory reaction to the yeast treatments. Sometimes it is best for me to just stop everything and "baby" that area. I also will use a steriod cream prescribed by my doctor. Christine
