    @@Reason to Believe - we are all the same...in that we are all different. ;-) It was nearly 10 horrible days for me. But apparently my bod wasn't getting rid of them for a reason, needed it to heal I guess. Oh what a relief when everything down there starts working normally again. ;-)

    Varies by person. At least 7-14 days I would speculate.
