thanks for your suggestions everyone. i actually have been taking antibiotics and i think that could have been the source of my problem. the dr. prescribed me antibiotics and cough syrup for when i had the flu earlier this month. i stopped taking the antibiotics, then started up again, then stopped because of the irritation. i noticed that the day i took the pills it flared up really bad. although i don't officially know if it's even a yeast infection, heck, maybe i'm diagnosing myself, but i was irritated as hell and had all the symptoms of a yeast infection.
i used the monistat suppository last saturday night before bed, so i'm guessing i still have to wait a few more days to see if it's completely gone or not. the box came with some feminine wipes, which i LOVE btw and i encourage everyone to get some, and a small tube of cream that works wonders! the irritation has calmed down but i still feel a little itchy here and there.
aside from the monistat, i am calling the gyno tomorrow and making an appointment to see what's up. plus it'll get me out of work for a few hours, lol. i will keep you all updated on my status. i appreciate everyone's concern.
