I find this so bizarre that each of us had the same exact thing happen!!! A few days ago I started feeling uncomfortable, having clumpy discharge, and some minor burning when I urinate I immediately realized it was a yeast infection. Prone to them so I usually get Diflucan from my doctor however this was a Friday night and I wouldn't be able to go to the doctor I figured monistat would help so I went to cvs and purchased monistat 1. After getting out of the shower I inserted and started feeling better immediately. So the next morning (which was yesterday) I went to work and started feeling extremely uncomfortable again I began asking my close friends is this suppose to feel this way (this was my first time using it) and they each stated "yes that means it's working" one even stated "everything get worse before it gets better you're absolutely fine". So the day goes on and I continue to grow the discomfort feeling it had gotten so uncomfortable I went in the bathroom and removed my underwear. So I go home and I advised my husband it's really hurting can you take a look at it for me. Upon checking it was Terrible!!! It looked like my vag was inside out the lips of my vag were so swollen and and blister like looked like I was related to the elephant man. I immediately went to the er. When the doctor reviewed me the first thing she said was do you have a history of herpes? I began panicking of course because I didn't have a history of it. She had to get a vag swap for testing which was the worst pain everrrrrrr frankly because the inside of my vag was swollen it felt like someone was stabbing me. Once the results came back I didnt have any stds not even a yeast infection (terrible I know). So she put me on Benadryl and has been working absolutely fine. Lesson learned I will neverrrrrrr use monistat again and I will always get diagnosed before I assume
