Thrush

Please could anyone advise? I noticed itching last few days and Monday it felt really bad so I used a thrush pessary on Monday night. It seems to feel more itchy since then! Strangely enough yesterday I was beside myself but went to an exercise class I had already booked and it felt a bit better after but today it's got worse again. I've put some canesten cream there. I've had thrush before but sure I felt better quicker than this. I feel a bit crap as well like tired and more anxious than normal. I have a small dark mark on the very outside of my labia which I think is an ingrowing hair and nothing to do with it. Am I being impatient or should I try the internal cream as well. I'm desperate!

Just to say I'm in a similar boat. I've tried a pessary, the OTC pill and I've also had another set of pills form the GP. I'm still sore and itchy!

You have my sympathy it's no joke. I never want anything near my vagina again! Mine eased when I went jogging strangely enough then had an early night. Itching a bit today but some canesten applications later it's feeling better. Hope yours is better soon!
