I have had a drug resistant Glabrata yeast infection for 4 months. I've been on HRT since 10/25. ( 0.75 estradiol patch, pea sized amount of vag estradiol cream most nights, 300mg progesterone, small dose of T) I've been using boric acid suppositories for 2 months with no change, in fact, it appears to have gotten worse from my last swab this week. How do I get rid of this thing? I have an appt with infectious disease dr in 2 weeks. I can't wear my pessary this whole time because of the treatments. Last night I quit both the boric acid and estradiol cream and I'm itching today. I know hormone changes can cause this thing to happen. But I don't know how to get rid of it. I've had it since December 25. HELP😭
