Those are simply horrible...I feel for ya! I also took diflucan, which can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours before the relief comes. It took me about 48 hours. To relieve the itching, you can *apply* plain, no sugar added yogurt or bathe in green tea. For some reason, the tea seemed to help me with the itching tremendously. (Needless to say, it seems I was in the bath far more than out in those few days). Good luck!

Antibiotic and steroid use is the most common reason for yeast overgrowth.
Self-Care at Home
Most candidal infections can be treated at home with over-the-counter or prescription medication and can clear within a week. But if some other disease has weakened your immune system, consult your doctor for any new symptoms before attempting self-treatment. You may risk getting an infection.
Yeast infections
Most women can treat yeast infections at home with over-the-counter medications:
Miconazole (Monistat-Derm, Monistat Vaginal)
Tioconazole (Vagistat Vaginal)
Butoconazole (Femstat)
Clotrimazole (Femizole-7, Gyne-Lotrimin)
Massage these remedies into your vagina and surrounding tissues for 1-7 days depending on the formulation. If increased irritation occurs to the area, discontinue the medication immediately.
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor before using these treatments.
If symptoms continue for more than 1 week, consult your doctor.

I took Diflucan along with using a vaginal cream (Monistat 7, etc.), and it went away.
