It is TOTAL B.S. that your doctor can't help. Make him! Get the book called the Yeast Connection by Dr. William Crook and take it to your doctor. I had to. It is very informative and it helped me after I got it into my doctor's hands and he listened and he FINALLY prescribed something. I was really tired of him thinking I was a hypochondriac! I haven't had to see him much since, and never again for a yeast problem! (with exception of minor ones after taking a round antibiotics).
There are oral drugs (Nystatin is one I took for almost a year- it was actuality 11 months and 12 days with no yeast infection recurrence with exception of that noted above) you can take that will take care of it. (Fluconazole is another--taken as a weekly or monthly maintenance or suppressive treatment for 6 months to 1 year, to stop persistent, recurring vaginal yeast infection. All cases of recurring vaginal yeast infections should be confirmed by culture before preventive therapy begins).
You can bet that the yeast infection is all through your body including your joints, as well as in your intestinal tract and stomach contributing to a lot of your discomfort. You need increase your intake of yogurt with active cultures (make sure they are active cultures and so stated on the labeling) that seems to help also.
I have also included a link to some homeopathic remedy's that may help, but in my opinion, they would not be effective for you without the aid of pharmaceuticals. My suggestion that what they suggest may be used after the infection is under control, as maintenance and preventative.
Don't take bubble baths and limit your use of scented body wash, sprays, soap, detergents, perfume, etc. Wear only 100% cotton underwear (very important), don't sit around in a wet bathing suit. Change to something dry the minute you get out of water. Just attention to some little details like those above will help.
After you are able to get your yeast overgrowth under control, your diet will open up and you will be able to eat what you want again. I went years without being able to eat normally, I was "allergic" to everything, and gained weight very easily although I did not over eat.
Good luck and know that THERE IS RELIEF out there just keep pursuing your physician and make he or she listen to you!!!!! The medicine is NOT harmful, not narcotic, and there is absolutely NO reason you should not be prescribed something that will HELP tremendously. If you can't get your doctor to listen and prescribe something for you, find another one immediately and make sure you let him know you are doing so! If you don't take control it isn't going to happen!

Whoever you are, if you or someone you know is affected by yeast infections, you need to keep reading - http://get-rid-of-yeastinfection.blogspo...- I've had yeast infections problem over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it
sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until
I stumbled upon the information on this site
( http://best-treatment-yeast-infection.bl... ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now, my quality of life returned and
every one of the symptoms had gone.
Although yeast infection (known by the names of Candida, Monilia or Thrush) is in fact a very common condition, (as three out of four women develop it at some point
in their lifetimes), it is little discussed. Most people regard candida infection as a ‘on the surface’ problem that should be treated with creams and antibiotics whereas
few are aware of its potentially risky complications. So going to doctors it's a bad idea not because it makes you feel uncomfortable, it's because they will prescribe antibiotics
until something works, it could take even 1 year to treat a yeast infection like this.
To effectively overcome candida infection, you need to be aware of the real cause of yeast infection and be able to identify its symptoms. You need to know how to self-test
and diagnose your candida condition, learn about the dietary principals needed to maintain a candida free environment and about the complimentary treatments that will help you
battle against the negative effects and complications of your yeast infection.
Read "Yeast Infection No More" BY Linda Allen ( electronic format @ http://best-treatment-yeast-infection.bl... ) It's about how to naturally and permanently
eliminate your yeast infection without drugs, creams or any kind of gimmicks.

Whoever you are, if you or someone you know is affected by yeast infections, you need to keep reading - http://tinyurl.com/Best-Treatment-Yeast-... - You poor thing! Candida is a nightmare to get rid of. I suffered terribly a few years ago, thanks to going on a "raw foods" diet for a whole year. It totally destroyed my immune system and I was desperate for help.
I found a real dr (not a homeopathic one) who specializes in this problem. He gave me the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Gottschall and I followed the diet to a "t". He has a clinic here in Memphis and he treated me for about 6 months with a variety of supplements from Europe and I felt like a whole new person. I gained 20lbs in one month from Candida, and the diet worked like a charm. The name of the clinic here in Memphis is called The Stone Institute of Wellness Arts and you can google Dr Kevin Merigian to read more testimonies on how wonderful he is. He truly saved my life and he is very upfront about being able to help you or not. If you can get an appt with him, I'd highly recommend it. I've been "candida free" for 3 years now thanks to him. Good luck! 
Usually with Candida there is another source of the problem. Do you have any dental silver fillings? They contain mercury which will cause recurrent candida problems. You must get rid of your mercury in your body before your candida will go away. I would also look into a liver flush (let me know if you want to know how). Something in your system is keeping the Candida around. You just have to find out what. You can read my testimonial at www.feelingnormalagain.com.
