Burning after yeast infection

I really need help and some understanding regarding my situation. I first got a yeast infection in January (treated with clotrimazole), and then later got another infection (cloteimazole again) and then I was diagnosed with Gardnerella. I was treated for that (I didn’t have a yeast infection at that time, mostly burning and irritation), but on the treatment I developed a severe yeast infection. This time, Canesten didn’t work, and even a single dose of fluconazole didn’t help.

Later, after using a vaginal suppository and taking another fluconazole pill, I tested positive for a yeast infection again. I then completed a fluconazole treatment on days 1, 3, and 7. Right now, I don’t really have the typical discharge that usually comes with a yeast infection, but I still experience intense burning and irritation every day. I feel like I’m going crazy. Sex is painful, and I can’t stop thinking about it all the time. It’s making me really depressed, especially because I’m constantly dealing with burning and pain in such an intimate area every single day.

I'm improved but scheduled for vestibulectomy because of intense lingering nerve pain. You can DM me for things I tried that helped.
