For Vaginal Yeast Infection I decided to use Miconazole 1 and I'm so uncomfortable right now!! It burns and itches like crazy. I'm trying to distract myself by reading the reviews but I'm not sure if I should wait or jump in the shower and remove every last bit of it. I feel like I'm burning from the inside to the outside

For Vaginal Yeast Infection Omg! Y’all this stuff is insane. These women are not exaggerating!! It’s like a slow torture! It’s been at least 20 mins and I can’t tell if I’m really good at deep breathing or if the itching and burning is subsiding. Oh wait, it’s not! I’ll be honest, during the day I feel better than day 1 but every time I insert this stuff in me and it creates a forest fire. I wonder how much more freaking yeast is in there?!?! This is the 3rd day. Is it working? I’m not sure. If burning is good then I guess this infection was pretty far gone before I realized it. I’m going to the urgent care this weekend. I would much rather get 12 thousand pills then to continue the remaining 4 days! I just can’t even!

For Vaginal Yeast Infection I had mild symptoms of a yeast infection. I used the 3-dose tercanozole. It's caused far more itching and burning than the yeast infection did.

For Vaginal Yeast Infection My yeast infection from antibiotic Azithromycin ( I took it for a bad sinus infection) did not go away with 1 oral dose of fluconazole so went to doc for solution. She prescribed this and said it is strong. It is so strong my head feels like it was crushed under a car. Very painful headache. Yeast symptoms all gone after day 2 of 3. I wouldn't recommend this med, I've had better results using plain yogurt (have dairy allergy though so unable to use any longer). Cost was $10 at Walgreens with United Healthcare insurance.
