Bacterial/yeast still...

I definitely came back showing I had yeast in my system from test results last week and the week before. This Monday the doctor said by visual inspection that he thinks it's more bacterial now and to take that medication first and then the yeast. He wants me to wait on the yeast until the test results from the Igm come back which seems silly. I filled both scripts. I want to take definitely the yeast one but I don't want to go against his orders. I'm just not 100% confident with his answers at this point. Lol I know I have yeast because I read my test results I don't know why I'm waiting. Symptom wise I think the valtrex helped tremendously. Even though my symptoms were mild to begin with I look better and pink now again instead of bright red and rashy looking. I'm not sure what to do. Also on the flip side I'm afraid to take any of these meds because I'm afraid of starting symptoms up again. I'm still itchy though at times and that could be from the bacterial or yeast so I feel like I should take something. What do you think? Which one do I take or just follow his orders and take the bacterial? Confused...

    Oh my

    Yoh must be miserable

    Im sorry

    I have had a histoty of bacteria and yeast

    I take both meds at once

    The oroblem is the yeast will keep coming till antibiotics are finished so if you take while on antibiotics you are only getting temporary relief.

    I usually do over the counter stuff for yeast till antibiotics are done then pop my yeast pill

    Great over the counter yeast stuff

    Tea tree oil suppositories

    Boric acid (woorks every time)

    A product called yeastguard that i get at whole foods

      Thanks! I'm not miserable just very itchy. Well this morning I was I seem ok now. I went ahead and took the bacterial this morning but I'm not on antibiotics unless you mean the Valtrex? I finish the valtrex today only have one dose left. The bacterial is a 7 day pull medication and the yeast is one pill.
