My Dr visit

Posted , 5 users are following.

I saw my Dr this morning. She saw my problem. Seemed kinda undecided about what to do. I told her I had used an old prescription for Diflucan and it had helped some a couple of weeks ago. So we decided to use the Diflucan once a week for the next 2 weeks. Leave off both creams. At the end of 2 weeks start using the clob every other night and alternate nights use a vaginal Estradial. I think it's a pill that's to be inserted. That is from a mail order pharmacy. I'm to go back to her in 1 month. She also said we would try this to see it's more of regular vaginal or if the LS has gotten worse.

Thanks for all your input.

    Martha, while it is misery for you, im glad it seemed to be reaction to the meds and not something more serious!! whew!!! and glad you have a doc who will work with you.

    btw, i was at my doc yesterday and had a conversation about soaking. she had no problem with borax or epsom, but suggested that one a week i use a capful of hibiclens. she said that especially when there are any open cuts or sores, it will help prevent infections. also, especially if im down-dosing from using steroids. i thought this is a good idea.
