Recurrent Thrush
Posted , 2 users are following.
From Sept 2015 until July 2016 I was having thrush 1-2 times a month. My GP wanted appointments booked a few days in advance so when I was finally and seen and swabbed my symptoms would have cleared. It took until July 2016 when the doctors finally got a positive swab for thrush and they put me on an anti fungal tablet (forgot the name!) and I took that once a week for 6 months, until 23rd dec 2016. No thrush whilst on this tablet. A month has passed since I stopped this tablet I've now got thrush again! Tried to get an appointment this morning having been awake all night itching and in pain (sorry TMI!) and the receptionist couldn't give me an appointment because its not classed as an emergency. I am going to the chemist now for a canasten pessary. I'm at my wits end and don't know know what to do. I haven't seen seen boyfriend in a year and he's finally come to visit and I have thrush! I am also taking microgynon contraceptive and I've noticed that the thrush tends to start when I am due on my period. I've spent hundreds on canasten tablets and creams and I've had enough

Just to update:
?I've had multiple blood tests done throughout last year and beginning of this year. No thyroid problems or diabetes.
?The chemist has just informed me that I can no longer purchase anymore Canesten from them.
Before my thrush episodes in 2015 I've never had thrush before.
