    In what way is the infection still affecting you?

    Are you abstaining from using hygiene products high in soap content? A good thing for me was using feminine wash with a low pH.

    Have you tried any antifungal, antibiotic or antibacterial creams? Are you coming into contact with anything you may be allergic to? Also, some forms of birth control can also increase the chances of developing conditions such as yours due to the hormones they release. This might also be worth looking into. It may also be worth asking your GP or doctor if there are any alternative oral tablets. Taking this in addition to the creams may have a better effect.

    I know this may seem a bit broad, but these are the things which tend to work best. I'm surprised your vaginal suppositories haven't worked though.
