hey you ! ! !  long time no hear..

nope...that is not true at all.
has she been to the doctor yet?  alot of times women have what they "think" is a yeast infection, when in fact it is some other infection.  they go to the drugstore and buy the over-the-counter yeast treatments and they dont work...leading them to believe that it is recurrent.
only a doctor can diagnose what is wrong with her.

I'm scared as hell!!!

by Coulditbe90, May 10, 2014
Okay, so in 2010 I started dating this guy and after a couple of months we started doing things.. Never had sex, but skin to skin contact & grinding took place. His penis to my vagina & all. This was the first guy I ever did anything with. Even before meeting him I usually experienced burning & itching on my vagina. But after our "sexual grinding" the itching & burning continued.. It's been several years I've had this issue & never took it serious. Sometimes It would itch so bad that I would even put ice on my vag to stop it.. I usually feel bumps under my fingers around the moist part of my Vagina when I touch it. They never look like they'res any liquid inside them or any white stuff. If I scratch too hard in my sleep I will probably peel the skin off with my nails so they'll look red.. And recently it's been a couple of days I had joint burning & pain on my legs & back & right arm around my elbow area. I'm scared as hell. I don't know what to do. All I do is research on google and it's been stressing me a lot lately. I can't sleep at night & have been feeling anxiety. I don't have any weird or foul discharge. My discharge is whitish like cream all around my vagina  and sometimes I see it on my underwear too if I don't use the restoom for long. I've been having really bad constipation for about 7 months now also. I'm just really scared :( I haven't gotten my Vag checked or gotten any tests for STD's because I'm scared of what I will do when I do get the results & they're positive. It's really stressing me out. And now that I have read other people's symptoms and read that body aches are due to herpes I've been freaking out even more. I can't even tell my family about this cause they don't know I used to have a BF. I'm talking to another guy now we don't do anything more than kissing. If it is herpes can I pass It on to him by kissing him? Someome please help :( btw I don't use anything for the bumps & the itch they come & go often.. Now the bumps, itching & burning is gone but I still have muscle aches. Could this be something even worse that herpes? Or does it sound like vaginal yeast? Does yeast even come with muscle pains? I need help from anyone please.
