Done with antibiotics - starting a lovely yeast infection

[DebE13]

I cut my doxycycline short by one pill- not too concerned. I've only has a yeast infection one other time in my life and I was a child so the symptoms snuck up on me. My PCP extended treatment an additional week so it was supposed to be three weeks. I wish I would have stuck to the two week plan but he wanted to be sure the Lymes was treated long enough.

Now I am extremely uncomfortable with a yeast infection. Assuming from the antibiotics. So much for the Floragen. I'm still taking it but wonder if it's the right strain. Probiotics never helped much in the past but I thought I'd give it a try as a precautionary.

I'm trying to have a sense of humor about the situation since I had formed stools the entire course of the antibiotics. I had over a week of wicked hemorrhoids that Anusol eventually tamed. They are still there but tolerable. I've never had so many painful, tear evoking movements. Now that it's been almost two days off the antibiotics, my stools are turning loose. It's a wait and see..... what my GI may come up with, who knows.

Interesting that the doxycycline would cause Normans. Some (like Polly) blame it for their MC. Thanks for the update.
