Hi Marie,

Are you finding dr that will give that much diflucan?

I'm having a hard time just getting the dr to 2 weeks at

100mg.

Is there research I can send with moms. I too am working

with a mom who within 3 days of stopped the diflucan

the thrush is back. She is doing everything else

On the list except nystatin for the babe and number 9.

Warmly
