I've definitely had a yeast infection with antibiotic use...

Posted By: ILMT on 2007-05-18
In Reply to: Aren't yeast infections - Or

When I had to take antibiotics for a tooth infection, I had to also get Monostat for the horrible yeast infection I got. I don't think I've ever had one other than that, so still don't think it's linked to my liquid fabric softener.

Probably a yeast infection - sm
I am overweight and have a pannus which I need to keep an eye on it underneath gets quite irritated and once I started to get a yeast infection I believe. I just used the athletes foot cream on it for a couple days and it cleared right up. I hope to one day (after I lose about 80 pounds) have it removed and have an abdominoplasty.....just need to save up $7-8K for the surgery as my insurance won't pay for that, LOL.
I hope she got rid of her yeast infection.
Who infected whom?
And why is she acting so hysterically?


Question about antibiotic
My dog was given cephalexin for a skin infection. Is this the same medicine doctors give us humans?
yeast infections (P.S)
nm
We don't know it's yeast......sounds more like
xx
I think it is a yeast allergy
Carbs and sugar feed the yeast in your body. I can't drink even a little alcohol without getting hungover or sick. My allergies were so bad that I used to have chronic earaches and toothaches (teethaches?). I also have an allergy to mold and all of the above make that worse. For that, I also stopped eating mushrooms, yogurt, soy sauce, vinegar. I love nuts though so I just eat a few at a time.

I have no sinus problems now except when pollen is bad and never get earaches or toothaches.
Aren't yeast infections
caused by the imbalance caused by all the heavy-duty antibiotics that have to be used nowdays to kill bacteria?

I am starting to see medical reports from journals saying that strong antibiotics seem to be causing the increase in serious allergies and asthma, and it's due to yeast and other fungi. Not all doctors are on board yet, but it took them along time to believe that ulcers were often caused by bacteria, so we shall see.
Did you know that vaginal yeast meds
and many of the meds for jock itch, ring worm and athletes' foot are the same exact drug? Now the sprays and/or powders use different ones from some of the creams, but the some of the athlete's creams are just like some of the vaginal yeast creams. It's all for fungal infections, but the makers want you to buy 3 or more tubes please, LOL.
I'm thinking either allergy or yeast from
from the antibiotic. May need to stop it, but of course call doc.

If it's yeast, Gold Bond (or the generic). Change diet to avoid sugar and white flour. Any carbs should be high fiber type. Instead of giving her yogurt, acidophilus pills are great because they don't have sugar that feeds yeast. If you are at a nature store or healthfood store, see if there is anybody knowledgeable there with other ideas.

Shampoo: OTC Nizoral is great, though expensive.
possible infection

Hi trose,


If you're feeling that uncomfortable, get to your nearest ER and forget the funeral.   Cat            


Maybe he has an infection

Do you see him licking his tail or genital area quite a bit?


Anal gland secretion is just about one of the worse smells! OMG!!!  Talk about an appetite deterrent! That smell just takes my appetite away.........and forget about eating!


 Yuck!! Gag!!   (this is about how I feel when I smell anal gland secreation!!)


You may have an infection.....
Have you tried calling your PCP and asking for some antibiotics? Ifyou have an infection or abscess, the antibiotics will at least bring down the pain once the infection is taken care of.

That being said, if there is any way you can find a dentist to work with giving you a root canal and making paymennts, it would be better to save your tooth than have it extracted. Once it's gone, it's gone.....this way you still have a tooth, which is very important for a lot of reasons.

I feel for you. My husband has had a root canal on just about every tooth in his mouth.....we knew he would need a root canal every time the pain began.


I have a question about an infection
I woke you yesterday with my entire head and face hurting.  I felt sure this was a sinus infection but really didn't have anything to take except OTC meds.  By yesterday evening I was having a lot of pain between my shoulder blades.  The only relief I got was lying on my side.  Throughout the night the pain spread through my entire back. I haven't done anything to strain my back.  Basically took it easy most of yesterday.  I tossed and turned all night becasue everytime I could get comfortable it would only last  a few minutes.  Using a heating pad seemed to make it worse.  About the only way I can get comfortable is sitting up but hunched over with my arms crossed in front of me.  It is possible for an infection to spread to my back like this.  Help...I have to go to a funeral this afternoon. 
uterine infection

Has anyone ever had a uterine infection?  I had one 4 years ago and then recently I had another.  I took the 10 days of antibiotics and then in a few days it started to come back.  I have never seen a more persistent type of infection.  When I had it 4 years ago I had to have my antibiotics refilled 3 times to get rid of it.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this. 


undiagnosed HIV infection in
Maybe no deaths in US yet because they were all kids who had been on spring break.

Maybe deaths in Mexico are from sexually active young adults HIV infected, but not diagnosed.

Just a guess.
Point out he can get a blood infection and die - sm
if he does not get his teeth taken care of. He must have some rotten breath too, yuk. Guess you don't do much kissing either. I went out on 1 date with a guy with bad teeth, gross, I did not want to kiss him goodnight and barely did, never dated him again because I was so grossed out.
I had a sinus infection a few weeks ago - it's gone now, but (sm)
ever since then I've had the BPV. That's what I think it is.  Worst when I first lie down in bed.  Goes away after a few seconds.
What does a kidney infection feel like? sm
I have had UTIs in the distant past but never a kidney infection....wondering if I have one now though. 
A 'yeast infection' from a condom?' Is this even possible?...
Is there something more going on in this story?
I'm not sure it would be classified as a "yeast" infection, but you can

get vaginal irritations from almost anything including the spermicide or lubricant used on a condom!  Trust me, I know!  Especially if you are sensitive to those sorts of thing.  I have gotten "yeast" infections from changing detergents, soaps, etc. 


Also, my niece, who is 17, recently dropped the "I'm pregnant" bombshell.  She is allergic to latex.  A year or so ago when she started dating her baby daddy she kept getting these vaginal irritations, cysts that had to be opened and drained.  Nobody could figure out why she was getting these.  Of she swore she wasn't having sex.  Uhem, long story short, apparently she didn't realize that condoms are made of latex.  When they figured it out, they stopped using them with plans for her to get on the pill, but you all know how that story goes.  She never could get to the doctor, blah, blah, blah.


So yeah anything is possible, but with alternate methods of birth control readily available to teenagers today, a yeast infection from condoms is still no excuse.

Anyone else get a foot spa pedicure and end up with a fungal infection?
I am horrified to say the least.  I never, ever go get manicures or pedicures because I am aware of all the nasty germs that lurk in places like that, but one of my friends wanted to go and I went with her.  I have to say, it was a lot of fun and very relaxing, but when we were leaving I saw their health score framed on the wall.  It was an 83!!!  That was 4 months ago.  The infection is only on my great toe on 1 foot, so for that I am glad.  So now it is 3 months of Lamisil and LFTs every month.    Anyone else ever experience this?
Dr. Weil recommends red rice yeast supplement, green tea, garlic and fiber. nm

Cold/sinus infection with beginning of period?

Okay, here's the deal.  The day before my period, for the last year or so, I get a horrendously bad cold/sinus infection/flu-type process.  It usually goes away about a day or two after my period.  I have never ever had this happen before and its really bad this month.  I have all the symptoms... stuffiness, red runny eyes, runny stuffy nose, pounding headache, throat like daggers, etc.  It started as postnasal drip yesterday and I thought ohhh great... here we go.  Needless to say I was up most of last night in complete tears because of the pain of it all and not being able to swallow at all.  I have tried researching on the internet about this happening, but can't find any information.  Has anyone heard of this or had this happen?  I just want to stop it.  truly, I would take the worst god awful cramps over this torture.  I have had this both on and off the pill and I am only 31.  Any information would be appreciated as I know what a wealth of information our community could be.  Unfortunately, I am in Europe and so I can't go to my GP easily.  The doctors here don’t do anything about anything unless its major either and I know they will brush it off as some silly sinus infection, but it happens every month and goes away in 3 days on its own, so it can't be a run of the mill thing.  Any advice is welcome.  I go home to the US in 6 months and I can wait if I have to, but maybe some angel out there knows something to help.  I have tried tons of medications and herbal things/natropathic and nothing works except my period being established.


 


Thanks in advance and sorry for the icky topic. ;)


If you've got one, you've got bunches!

How do ya feel about cats?  That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints. 



If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator.  Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage.  Good luck in your jihad! 



 


 


I've done this 12 yrs and I've had to take breaks sm
Took a break and worked at my kids preschool one year, worked at a hospital one year, took a couple months off once. It does burn you out because it takes all of your concentration. When I worked at the hospital as a secretary I could not believe how easy the job was ;-) I was sooo used to just getting paid for actual work that when I had a conversation with a coworker or a phone call or took lunch, I felt like I was getting away with a lot! I hope your break works out!! I wish you lived close-by, we could take turns watching each others kids ;-)
I've been using...
Zicam severe congestion. It gives me temporary relief and I've been taking Singulair, but originally nasal discharge was clear, this morning it was yellow (don't mean to gross anybody out). Could it have turned into a sinus infection? And if so, is it time to see the doctor??
I've tried that...

I've done that along with changing my diet but still no relief.  I just received an e-mail saying to try vitamin E which is what I am going to try next.


Thanks a bunch.....


I will try that too, I've had enough of this...sm

where to I go to do this, remove IE7 and reinstall IE6.


TIA


oh yea, we've been through that one . . SM
My husband is the type of person that avoids conflict, does not want to face it, because if you pretend it's not there, it isn't, right???? Yea. He was in counseling for a while, but never went back after a few times. He really felt like last night was a punch in the face, like it's a game or something . . . like if you look the part, you ARE the part.
I've been there...
Hang in there...
I have one, but I've only had it for a day
I definitely can't do more than a minute on it, as it REALLY targets my inner thighs. I can really feel it working already, but I don't know what the benefit is going to be to everything it states, i.e. thighs, abs, back. I did a lot of research before I bought it and the only negatives I found were about ordering it through the company's website. So, I ordered it through QVC and saved a lot of money. Plus I received it only 3 days after I ordered it with no extra shipping charge.
A few I've seen....

LOL, I've seen some of those!
  I admit it, I must be a pervert 'cause I think it's hysterical.
I've been on it
now going on 3 weeks and love it. I never use up my points and am always full. Best thing is you can still eat the foods you love. I only purchased the starter kit and did not join. I feel better and have lost weight and best of all I'm never hungry. But, like everything else, 1 diet doesn't fit all. I've tried Nutrisystem, Adkins,Right Size Smoothies, and Medifast and they didn't work for me. So far WW has worked. Also, you don't have to give up the "cool ones" on this plan.
me too - I've been doing this for over 9 (sm)
Same problem, and it doesn't go away overnight. Mostly my right (pedal) foot. Is yours?
I think I've seen something like this
But can't remember which one...a bride having her bridesmaids sign a contract, yeah right...I'd tell her exactly where she could put all her demands...geez!
We've actually done that (sm)
There is, unfortunately, an "out", meaning that if they have ever been invited to call (We refi'd our house and had been calling mortgage brokers, etc) they are exempt from the list, at least in New York. So it could be a brokerage or something trying to drum up business (not my problem)but all I have is an 866 number to go by, no name on the caller-ID. I wonder if you can get them back on the list after your business is finished.
I've been there

I understand.  For 17 years I dealt with this, always feeling like I was never doing enough, if only I could do more then maybe....  I became very ill myself because of it.  I had no life of my own, -- I lived for the next crisis, just like you -- and no one could understand, not even my doctor.  I didn't find peace until I took the burden off my shoulders and put it on His--until I realized I had a responsibililty to God for my own life and I was losing my life, my freedom to find His Will for me and do it, to someone else's addiction.  In this case, it was my mothers's.  She was there night and day as well, no escaping.  I gave up my outside job and worked from home too.  I finally had to move in order to remain sane and THEN other family members had to start doing their share of helping out while I tried to regain some sense of self. It wasn't until then that she even got a clue that I had a right to my own life. 


Your daughter, loved though she be, is robbing you of your life.  That is not right.  But I don't know of a stronger bond than that between a mother and a daughter no matter what problem may arise.   One can never really walk away, forget it, etc. like so many will tell you to do.  Inside, that bond lives strong.  All you can do is find a way to deal with it, a way that is fair to you, healthy for you, a way that will keep you strong or else she will take you down with her. 


For me, it was distancing myself physically and praying for her.  I realized for all my love of her, only He could make the changes in her, and He did once I acknowledged how true the words are, "Without Me, you can do nothing."  Now I pray for and expect miracles if it so be His Will when I have problems I cannot resolve.  It brings great peace and strength -- and HOPE because I've seen first-hand how prayer made with faith truly does bring them and I don't feel like I am carrying the burden all by myself anymore and then I accept whatever He lets happen, realizing He in His wisdom knows more than I.   


Talk to a therapist -- tell them what you've just written here.  Again, they might have access to resources you don't know about.  If their advice sounds harsh, and it probably will, listen anyway.  Consider it.  Your life DOES matter too.  But don't ever lose hope in God.  Ask for the strength and courage to do what must be done for the sake of the both of you and grace for her to change.  Nothing is impossible for Him to do.  Nothing. 


Have you read the books by Melodie Beattie?  They help.  Feel free to e-mail me if you wish. 


Oh thank God. I've been following this sm
and have been just sickened by the whole thing. What a pretty little girl. Such a terrible thing to happen to an innocent child.
N/T - That's what I've been doing
I've been watching a lot of episodes, or at least bits and pieces of them online to get caught up. Some things still confuse me. The new season looks really good.
I don't think I've met one since
I was a kid. You're right - it is a very alert breed. It could run very fast and bark, definitely running a tight ship, even if it was on dry land.

They are very beautiful dogs, and live longer than any breed, which sounds really good to me.
Yes I've had it (sm)
and it is very annoying, but it did go away. I just tried to get my exercise and sleep and do some facial stretching exercises where I stretch and relax my jaw and other facial muscles. I try to pretend the twitch isn't there, and pretty soon it isn't.

Hope it quits soon.
Yes I've had one
I had one a few years ago...not that bad, just uncomfortable. It only takes a few minutes. It's like a large needle that they insert through a small incision over the area in question. It suctions a bit of tissue out and that's it. Mine was benign. Good luck to you!
Thank you....I've done it...sm

4 times and my sons have done it once...They went through blazes in the south in high school with their long, patterned braided hair (they learned to braid themselves bkz I could never get it tight enough to suit them).  But, when ridiculed by their coaches, school administration and teaching staff they replied, "Cause we want to donate to Locks of Love like mom, and it's hard to get a good grade of black hair...It's not just white kids that get cancer".  Cat


 


 


I've got to say
That sex scene with the old girlfriend amputee was quite something!  I'll never be the same!
I've done this...and..
I was a struggling single parent working for a doctor and in the 10 years I worked for him I had to get an advance twice. He was very kind and thought nothing about helping me. He also gave me a loan to get out of debt with a 3-year payback plan ($50 out of each check). This way he also insured that I would stay at least 3 year until my debt was worked off..LOL..so it worked for us and I ended up staying 10 years and I still do fill-in work for him. He saved a single mom's life..I would never ask a large employer, but usually small companies are very kind to their employees as they want to keep you..
