i’m starting to wonder that maybe i got my body used to taking antibiotics and that OTC medications won’t work really much. i’ve been on antibiotics twice in 3 months for different reasons and the second time was prolonged.
i got that side-effect that may come with it called "yeast infection" (yay for me), a last night, i shoved in the OTC vaginal yeast infection "monostat 1". i put on some cream that comes with it but burned like hell so i’m not putting it on anymore.
BUT, last times i got a yeast infection and did that (monostat 1), before going to bed, when i woke-up, it were ALWAYS pretty much gone (the symptoms at least). on the paper it says it could take 1-3 days before symptoms go away, and some less than 24 hours. but for me it’s ALWAYS been less that 24 hours.
and i’m pretty sure it’s only a yeast infection: just finished anti-biotics, itchy, burning, cottage cheese. no smell though. it sucks cuz i don’t have anyother risks: i always where coton boxers, never wear anything tight, always dry completely after taking a bath or swimming, never on birth control pills, no stds, etc.
but like, what is it? what should i do? if this treatment ain’t gonna work. i reeeeally don’T feel like taking antibiotics again just for a fucking yeast infection. i’m trying out different tricks like, vinegar baths, drinking lots of water, easy on the sugar, LOTS of plain yogurt, etc. life could be worse than this but it’s just reeeeally annoying.

And how can I be feeling my best?
I got it from taking baths too much…

I am headed to the Walmart to pick up some monistat, and I was told to stay away from soda and sweets. Also, no baths just showers, and cold water if I can stand it. I’ve also heard yogurt can be helpful. Is that true?

What about douching? I do that about once a year, and just use soap the rest of the time. Will that help or hurt the situation? Any other ideas, helpful hints? I am embarrassed enough already. But all part of being a woman I guess.

And no sex till it’s gone right?
