I was diagnosed with this 4 years ago after a similar length of time misdiagnosed as thrush.Symptoms are well under control with steroid cream and daily heavy moisturiser.

6 monthly checks for any changes and then crack on with life.

I can't comment on the emotional issues you are facing. That's something you need to discuss with your husband to be.

good luck 🙏
