Yeast Infection NEVER goes away!!! I really need your help!!!!

hey guys, im writing because I dont know what else to do or where else to go. For over a year and a half now, I have been suffering form yeast infections. At first i would only get it once every 2 months, then once a month, and now it NEVER goes away. I take duflucan once a month and it goes away for 3 days, and it comes back. terconazole helps for about 2 weeks. Also i am a type one diabetic and i should say my blood sugar is pretty high. Could this have anything to do with my yeast infection? Has anybody been trhough this? and most importantly, how do i get rid of it?? I get so depressed every time i get it and its killing me inside.Please, help me out here. Thansk guys

Hi all! I too have had these problems for a year and a half. In the summer of 07 I had a yeast infection for four months that would not go away, and never even cultured. Tried everything, diflucan, boric acid, monistat, terazol. What finally killed it was gynazole. Was clear for 11 months. Now have another, I am not sure what triggered it. Took a gynazole, felt better for 10 days, then it came back. And the funny thing is my yeast they cannot see under a microscope and it does not culture. Anyone ever heard of this?
Also I have found that garlic cloves help with the burning!

You need to see a doc and get your sugar under control.  Being a diabetic can lead to chronic yeast infections.    You need to have a culture done for the yeast also, to make sure it is not more resistant strain.   I really think that if youget your diabetes under control, then your yeast infections will ease up.

i have a yeast overgrowth throughout my body.  I have it under control.  Yeast loves sugar.  You might try a test.  Take a glass of water and let it sit out over night on the counter.  Then first thing in the morning spit in it before you drink anything.  Leave it there for about 15 min.  See if it strings down.  My husband and I both did this test.  My husbands spit just sat on top, mine strings and usually if a person has too much yeast it will string down like that.  
You might want to look into taking galic pills as this helps.  Stay away from sugar and bread with yeast.  When you get those sugar cravings, that is the yeast talking.  Do some searches under canadia to find out more.
