Jay -

I tried this ONCE.  I am one of those particularly predisposed to nasty
yeast.  Usually takes Dflucan to get rid of it.  Well my doc was out of town
for 5 days and I could not last much longer as the OTC yeast creams were not
working.  I knew about GV and got some from the pharmacy.  At 1/2 strength I
applied it to my perineum.  I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SCREAM!  It burned
worse than anything I have ever felt including:  3 un-medicated vaginal
births, ongoing yeast to the point of bleeding tissue and an episiotomy done
without drugs or pressure!  I would NEVER recommend it to anyone for use on
that kind of tender tissue.

I had told her about GV and she wondered if GV would
work for vag yeast. I told her I didn't know, but would ask
