TMI Inside--running with a "lady issue"

[sweetiesparkles]

I was dx today with my first yeast infection (yeah me) and I am supposed to go on a 5 mile training run for my first 10k (June 14th).

I am itching, irritable, and of course, scratching and uncomfortable.

I got an rx for one antifungal pill plus cream to use.  The cream is messy so my lady bits are feeling gooey.

Should I suck it up and run or take the day off?  Sunday I will not be able to run, so that leaves Monday but I will need to find childcare....

Ugh, I had the same thing not too long ago (thanks, antibiotics!) and I skipped mine.

When did you take the pill?

I would reevaluate in the morning. I always feel 100x better the day after I take the pill.

Different situation, but a few years ago I had to take progesterone pill via the same route. I decided to wear a small pad and run because it was making me feel bad enough, and I didn't want skipping my run to add to the week. But I think I only ran a max of 4 miles so it wasn't that big of a deal.

Well I woke up and still very itchy and its burning. I took my pill yesterday at 2pm so its been 17 hours.

I might take a trip to Walgreens for some topical Monistat to get rid of this intense itch.

I will try to run tonight, high is only about 80 here and low dewpoint.
