mary j,
sorry to hear you have been suffering with thrush for so long. i myself know how frusrating and upsetting it can be to hear from your doctor there is nothing else for you to try. i had a urine infection back in november and was given antibiotics to clear it up which they did but after taking them i was experiencing severe itchiness outside and inside my vagina and was really inflamed. i went back to my doctor and she said i had thrush and gave me flucanozole. after a week there was still no improvement so i went back to her and she tested me for std's which were all clear and said to try smothering myself with live yoghurt which i tried and still didnt help. i then got myself some pessaries to try. after using 3 and still no improvement i started to get really down about it. like yourself it has been very hard to live a normal life with work and love life etc.. last night i went to the hospital because it was so bad i couldnt even sit down. i had an examination and was told ive had an allergic reaction to thrush, apparently it doesnt happen often but it can. ive been given some ointment to reduce the swelling and stop the friction between my underwear as this is very painful. after suffering for 3 months hopefully this will be the end of it. as for yourself you should ask your doctor to refer you to a gynaecologist asap or go to the hospital, its unfair you've had to suffer this long. i really do hope you get to the bottom of it soon. if you have any questions id be happy to answer.
