I am soooo sick of yeast infections!!!! I'm really getting worried that I have some serious problem causing me to keep yeast!!Has anyone had any experience with taking continuous Diflucan? I was prescribed 12 tablets ---- 3 times a week the first two weeks; 2 times a week the second week; and 1 time a week the last two weeks. In addition to that I was given a one day creme to insert called Gynazole (which, BTW, is great!). My concern is that Diflucan passes through the liver and excessive use might cause problems. I guess these are questions I should have asked dr. when she prescribed, but didn't think at the time.If anyone has any experience taking this amount of Diflucan, please let me know! Thanks for all feedback.

Are you sure it's yeast? There are several non-sexually transmitted infections that mimic yeast that are treated differently. That sounds like way too much Diflucan to me.

Thank you for responding. I'm positive ---- I've been going to the dr and letting her diagnose it. I'm like you, when it became such a constant thing, I started to wonder myself if it really WAS yeast. But, it is yeast!I know that diabetics have a problem with yeast and my dr did prescribe lab work for me to have a blood sugar test, which I haven't done yet! Gosh, I hate to think about that!!

Hi Patty, you have probably done the same thing I have done in the past, posted under the wrong topic. Please go to Women's Issues, I'll be there with a post.
