Hypothyroid and HRT
GP treated me with anti yeast tablet, pessary and topical
canesten
. This made no difference so she has now prescribed a moisturising lotion for washing and told me to avoid all chemicals down there and to stop using fabric softener.

MTX & bruises
I also have a rash on my feet, which I was firstly told was eczema, but the cream did nothing, then another gp said it was a fungal infection like athletes foot, gave me
canesten
cream, but that seems to be making it worse. The skin is peeling and I have red patches too.

Genital lymphoedema and thrush
I have been using the cream (
canesten
) internally for two days and am still sore. I am a it worried as it is the first time I have had any type of yeast infection since the lymphoedema and the doctor didn't appear to have any idea of genital lymphoedema.

Thrush during down reg - can I take canesten?
I would usually take
canesten
pessary+cream but am not sure if it's safe to take it. I couldn't reach the clinic today and am afraid I won't be able to talk to them over the long weekend. It seems silly not to treat the thrush - but I was wondering if anybody has had a similar problem?

Eyes and legs!
I have tried putting
Canesten
on them and hydrocortisone too, but it doesn't have any effect on them. I also have very painful aching calves. Around the same time, my eyes became particularly sensitive to the lights at work, particularly my right one, the lid feels swollen to, but its not.

CA 125 reading is up
I have had a urine and sinus infection since the 23 reading and have had antibiotics for both - not much better and have now got nasal spray and
Canesten
Cream because I am sore - this is helping. Has any one else had these problems and if so did they make the CA 125 rise and then go down.

HIV Scare? Please help me
Last week I started using
Canesten
Cream Clotrimazole 1% to get rid of the white stuff from my penis as I was believe it was Balanitis. I only used it for 5 days before I stop as I notice the white stuff started going away.

Thrush saga continues - should I buy more treatment?
I'm also wondering if the more expensive
canesten
one might be a bit stronger? I've had that happen before (bought the boots version of Dulcolax once and although the dose is the same, it literally didn't work at all). Has anyone taken another thrush tablet a week after taking one?

Is it true that canesten can make your contraception less effective? I am using condoms and read somewhere that canesten
can make rubber contraception not work properly. Does this mean that the condom would break? would I know? I am really worried - my period is not late yet but being pregnant would not be a good thing for me right now. My last pregnancy was very difficult (love the end result though) but my little girl

Why can't I buy canesten for thrush? Surely denying this medicine to over 60s is ageist!
I used to just buy it. now it takes days just to get a GP appointment, wastes a lot of time and administration. no wonder the nhs is running out of money etc. for the patient its unnecessary.

Thrush pessary on pregnancy?. I used the canesten pessary prescribed by my gp.
Whilst using the pessary I was having a few problems trying to get it in place and inserting into my vagina (sorry for tmi) and it dropped of the applicator on my bed and got a few, I'd call it cotton of the bed, but there wasn't loads and I didn't notice till I started inserting, will it be alright?

Should we be pushing the GP to do more?
GP has so far prescribed
Canesten
- no effect, taken a swab - results due tomorrow. She had a U/S scan 18 months ago for similar but not so severe and urinary symptoms, it was clear. Would I be right to demand the GP does more immediately?
