[KLZMOM5]

Hello, I am 45 yrs old and had my yearly pap and mammo at the beginning of March this year. Both results came back within normal range. Seems like ever since then I have had "issues". Basically, it's itching-almost prickling around my vagina and sometimes even around my anus. Sorry...
I have been told to treat myself for a yeast infection which I did with no relief. Then I was told to try the "Vagistat" brand of yeast infection treatment because some people are resistant to the "Monistat" brand. So I did. Nothing.
Over the past month or so, there has been an odor-not fishy but almost "yeasty". It's bad-
I have been taking Acidipholis(sp?) and been using a ph balance wash daily. I have even tried the "Rephresh" vaginal gel after my last 2 periods as directed. My husband and I have not had sex since before my pap so it's been months. He has lost his job so we don't have insurance right now.
I have had yeast infections in the past and these seem to mimick the same symptoms but I cannot kick it. My sister is 6 years younger than me and has been in perimenopause for 3 years. Don't know if this is me getting to that point or what. I'm hoping I don't just have to deal with this.
I can almost tolerate the itching-a I'm used to it now, but the smell is embarrassing. Any ideas of where I can turn? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
