I know your pain!! Don't know if anyone read my posts in the General Health section a while ago, but since I stopped the pill in June 2005 I have had thrush LOTS!!

Tried many different treatments, firstly the canesten applicator creams (3 day and 6 day), Diflucan, Monistat...... at first, my swabs were coming back negative so the GP was prescribing me all sorts of different cortisone creams (thinking it was skin infection/irritation kinda thing). Even went to Gyno (who found nothing out of the ordinary of course!). Then got some 10 day tablets from GP on prescription that seemed to work quite well.

Got thrush again the other day (am now on my first cycle back on the pill) so went to chemist and got more canesten and also some Inner Health tablets. So, I havent actually found a cure yet!! But I am going to try taking Inner Health all the time to try and prevent it. Seems like sex causes the thrush, because everytime it clears up we have sex and it comes back!!

Anyway, it is a horrible thing to have. Hope you get rid of it!!
