Playing up, I have recurring thrush and recurring cystitis. I feel like I am falling apart. Could there be something wrong with me that all these things come at once?? I;m only 33 and really feel like I want to shoot myself today, life is so uncomfortable.
are u on the pill? I kept getting thrush and even when it cleared up it was still sore and me and my boyf dint have sex (regularly) for nearly a year! after a lot of going back and forth to the drs i was eventually changed from being on microgynon to being on marvelon, i also take fluconazole at the start of every new pill pack and this has completely cleared it up! theres also a supplement called acidophilus for thrush, dont kno how effective it is though! bonjelas quite good for wisdom teeth, only works for about half an hour but its good to put on before you eat or when your trying to get to sleep, if its really bad paracetomol help. dont kno what u can do about recurrent cystitis apart from drinking loads of water and cranberry juice. Ooh just thought!! Theres a thing u can get called a mooncup (google "body kind", they sell it) which is an alternative to tampons and is meant to help with women who have gynaelogical problems a lot (get advice form ur gp first) ive just got one but havent had a chance to use it yet! a tampon dipped in natural yoghurt then inserted n left for bout an hour helps with the itchiness of thrush.
The tampon idea works, I have tried it, it has to be live natural yogurt, inserted on to a tampon and left for a while, it has a nice soothing effect, if the yogurt is cold.
As for the pill idea, I kept getting reaccuring thrush when taking microgynon many years ago.
