Two of the best aspects of menopause -- and there aren't many -- are that you 1) stop having to deal with menstrual periods, which always came at the very worst times (like on vacation) and 2) for me, those recurrent yeast infections that I got in my 20s, 30s and 40s went away. Until now.
&nbs...
November 23--I wrote in my last message that I was going to try boric acid for my yeast infection. I have a confession-I chickened out. I just couldn't put a capsule of boric acid into my vagina, it seemed too weird. Maybe if it had a different name than acid I could do it. I doubled up on the yogurt, cut down on the sugary sodas and candy and my symptoms got a lot better. If any of you have tried the boric acid route, will you let me know? I'd really like to know if it works.
I have had a yeast infection since being put on Premarin in June. 2 weeks ago the CRNP added boric acid to my daily fluconazole pill. I had a severe reaction to it. She was going to give me directions on how to make the powder into a rinse but I refused. If there is a next time and you think about the boric acid again, maybe the rinse is an option.
