[QUOTE="BlindFaith, post: 283013, member: 45202"] I can't think of a polite way to get this out, so apologies if it's an over-share! About three months ago I started itching in the...umm...lady-garden area. I had very recently shaved in that area and I thought it was down to that and figured it would stop in a couple of days. It didn't and the itching got worse, so I tried using Vagisil cream. That did nothing at all and I was getting really uncomfortable so I tried putting cold cloths on it and eventually it got so bad that the skin was cracked and I won't go into any more detail... :shh: I ended up going to the out of hours doctor who with one very quick look said "yup, that's one of the worst cases of thrush I've seen in a while!" gave me some cream and off I went. I was told by her I couldn't use the tablets to treat thrush due to the diabetes (I didn't know I was diabetic at that point, she was 100% sure I was, though just by how bad things were) and that was that. The cream seemed to work and all was well. A week after I stopped using the cream guess what happened? Yup. It came back. Thankfully not as bad, but my goodness the ITCHING. I have the cream again which helps for a bit but the nurse has told me it's down to my high blood sugar. Which, as I've mentioned in my other thread is stupidly high and not getting any lower. So, how many others are in the same boat and what on earth do you do to stop the annoying itch? And how do you stop it coming back if your blood sugar won't flippin' well go down?! [/QUOTE]
