Today, I got my very first yeast infection. Thinking she would help me, I went to my mom. Instead she began yelling about how I'm lying and it's an STD and I don't believe in the power of Jesus. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom went through my drawers and found some antibiotics from Planned Parenthood. She immediately flew into a rage and told my whole family, my aunts, and her church that I was a “loose woman with a horrible disease.” The antibiotics were to treat bacterial vaginosis, not an STD at all. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom. Apparently, my seeking medicinal treatments for my cancer is blasphemous. According to her, I should just pray my cancer away. FML
Today, my mom accused me of being pregnant. She wouldn't believe me when I told her I'm a virgin, and she challenged me to take a pregnancy test. It came back with a false positive. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office, where my mother happens to work. When my doctor tried to prank her by saying I have chlamydia, my mother laughed and said she didn't believe it, adding, "Have you even seen the way she interacts with boys?" FML
Today, I learned I don't have a yeast infection. I have herpes. FML
Today, my mother told me she wanted me to get an exorcism. Yes, she was serious. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, my grandmother loudly announced that she has a yeast infection. Under her breast. She attempted to show me. FML
Today, after two rounds of antibiotics, I got a yeast infection. My husband started calling me "Yeasty." FML
Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML
Today, after years of having seasonal allergies and months of having my throat close up, my mom agreed to see a doctor, only to insult me in front of the doctor, saying I just find new ways to make their lives harder and I'm probably making it all up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is the power or Jesus anything like the power of Pinesol?

How you know it's a yeast infection if you never had it before??

she could've researched it. its not exact but at least she has a better idea of what to ask the doctor to test for.

Try monostat 3 or 7 (1 day is very concentrated and hard on the body), cranberry juice for acids to help kill the yeast spores, sleeping without underpants on, and wash your sheets and underroos in by water with vinegar or bleach. Or iron with hot steam iron. Some people zap their undies in the microwave. Wipe front to back. You will have a strong urge to per and a slight burn.

I think you may be confusing this with a UTI. Then again, I'm not a doctor.

Religion should be considered child abuse.

This kind of thing is why extremely religious people really bother me.

What a horrible mother! It's not enough your ****** is burning like the seven layers of hell but to have less than no support! *shakes head* talk to a doctor to confirm it is yeast and not bacteria then get what you need. Also the tea tree body bar from Paul Mitchell or as some call it the beaver bar can help prevent infections. Good luck... I'm sure this won't be the last time.

Same here. My mom yelled at me too and accused me of having sex when I complained of discomfort down below. I was 16 and my doctor assured her I was a virgin. Parents sometimes -_-

I don't see how walking on water or turning it into wine is going to help you...

If OP is under 18, she may need her mom to take her to the doctor, which sucks because Mom thinks Jesus gave her an STD for not believing in him. Wow, some religious people make Jesus sound like a real douchebag.

Haha, I don't think that's what the FML is implying about the mother, but Jesus is definitely not mean in any way. Anyone who thinks that Jesus (God, Holy Spirit, whichever they call Him) punishes people on earth for not doing good is very mistaken. They are just nutty! God gave us all free will. The "judgement" from God comes after one dies. Hell is there for the people who chose to lead a dark life and never repented from that. But on earth, humans can do whatever they want an not be punished by God. He never creates evil or makes evil situations for anyone. This is all stuff that is in the Bible. You don't have to believe the Bible and that Jesus died to bring people to heave but that's

You don't have to believe the Bible and that Jesus died to bring people to heave. The people who think this like OP's mother are crazy and are very misinformed. (Just trying to explain that Jesus is nice and this women in the FML is crazy. Sorry my comment sent before I was done typing!)
