I'm burning again on my 1 year anniversary this horror started

Exactly 1 year ago began this ordeal with the burning vag & fistulas and here I am writing with immense sadness and heartbreak that it appears the cycle has returned. My strategy for handling this week was to do things that made me feel good and to be kind to myself. On my anniversary, a long drive, picnic and maybe beach! I woke up yesterday with severe itching and discharge. My GI prescribed diflucan and I'm using an external cream. I felt immediate relief with the cream and went about my day. I was trying not to panic but I was having flashbacks to last year. My mind raced to scary places so I took 2 sedatives to just to sleep.

I spent most of today sleeping and trying to avoid. But I wasn't itching or burning so I figured it truly was a yeast infection.....until 1 hour ago and the burning has started when I sit down. Remember, I couldn't wear undies, shower etc etc for months and months.........It's now back. And I'm scared.

Some of you will recall that I was having trouble finding a gyne for help. The GI's claimed it was a gyne issue and vice versa......Let me just say that a year later I still have NO GYNE. I am looking at going for help in the States to repair my fistulas---which also isn't done here but it looks like I need to go to the US for help dealing with the gyne impact on crohn's patients.

I've never been so close to death than over this last year. The timing of this is utterly crazy. The fact that it's happening again is so cruel. Please pray that this is "just" a yeast infection.

I'm going to increase my gabapentin and hope that helps.

Thanks Kulinary; I don't think it's yeast.....I think it's the entire recto-vag fistula thing again as it's the same pattern. I now can't wear undies or sit. I'm freaking out and have no one to help.

I've take 2 doses of diflucan and 2 doses of yeast cream. It was a bit better this morning but now I'm on fire again, especially when I sit down.

My CRS doesn't believe that burn can be caused by fistulas and 7 gyne's have refused to see or help me...all saying its CD related. I can't believe it's happening again...and exactly 1 year later.
