I also want to take a blood test to see if the swab test comes back negative. What is the best type of blood test to have done?
stop pinching the skin in that area to see it!! good grief girl - you are adding to your issues!!
You want to have a type specific herpes igg blood test done, preferably the captia test or the herpeselect.
Thank you,
I know I'm going crazy! I hate feeling this way!!
Now my period is acting funny, I'm guessing because of stress! But it's brown discharge, I'm going to wait that out though, hopefully it's just because I've stressed myself out so badly.
My doctor never called me back!! But my insurance company told me that I can refer myself to a OB/GYN so I'm going to call one first thing in the morning! Hopefully I can find one that's not too busy.
Is tea tree oil too harsh on the skin? I heard that it will help for a yeast infection.
I wouldn't be using tea tree oil at this point. Even though I love myself, you do need to be careful with it. It's a turpentine and can be very irritating to our sensitive genital skin. You should never use it undiluted and at this point, since you have so many other things going on, you shouldn't be using it in case it's adding to your issues.
Thank you,
I am on the yeast cream right now with what the doctor had prescribed me after the antibiotics, I have NO MORE burning at all!!!! I'm really excited about that!! However the yeast did irritate me, but the cream seems to be helping!!
I'm going to see my GP this afternoon, I have asked him for a blood test, hopefully that's what he will be doing when I get in, that one side that was itching like crazy is feeling better, still sensitive but no bumps or blisters on it, just looks irritated from me scratching and pinching. I did however see a grain like bump but I had to pinch the area to see it. I've stopped obsessing over it though. And I made an appointment with a OB/GYN I figured that if I ever have girly problems this bad I'd rather have a person who specializes in that area to see me. Because I do not believe that my GP ever tested anything except for that swab test for herpes. I had to go to the ER to have them test the discharge, in which they found bacteria and yeast. They told me that they believe I was burning because of the bacteria. And sure enough after the third day if being on the antibiotics the burning had gone away!! But the yeast got worse as expected.
vaginitis can be very irritating. since you've had symptoms for 4 months, it might take more than 1 round of medication to get it all gone. If symptoms come back within a month of completing the medications, be seen to be tested again to see if either is going on again.
did you treat your bf with oral flagyl or vaginal? the reason I ask is because the vaginal flagyl, causes the chunkies. It's dead bacteria working its way out of your body. I've found soaking in the bathtub with some epsom salts thrown in is soothing while the chunks work their way out.
so much fun being female...NOT!!
