I use my Aloe Plants. I cut a small piece, strip off the outside covering and swish the gel in my mouth. Then I chew it and swallow it. Done it for years and it works for me. There is no particular, schedule or time to do it except when it bothers you. This dang itchy ear is going to use up my aloe plants Every other day I have to stick some in my ear.

The sores in my mouth have faded, since I was put on a lower dose of Ribavirin in the hospital. But my tongue is still sensitive and sore. I know this is a symptom, not a side effect. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Any plant store has them . I use it so much I had to plant a huge garden of them. I know its cold where you are but aloe plants are available at most plant nurseries. I am blessed to have a herbalist who can supply me with not only the OTC living plant I need but has extensive knowledge about each an every one on how to grow and care for them. I don't know about the over priced stuff at health food stores in a jar but if you try it and it works do let me know.

For the

me. It calmed the soreness down, anyway. It was driving me crazier

, that is VERY common with those on tx,, dont know WHY but I've heard at least 70% of those on tx HAVE complained about it,, it can be yeast because of the lower white count,, if you can keep a small film over it to reduce the amount of moisture that sits on the those cracks, they seem to do better.. I hope this helps hon! I've heard just how miserable it can be!Jackie

Nystantin works great for any kind of fungus but I think the doc has to write a script for it . When I was on treatment I had it in my mouth and it sure cleared up with the nystatin .

There's 8 different types actually - shingles, epstein barr, cmv to name a few - most people have been exposed to many of them - treatment can activate them for sure. Mostly HHV-1 AND HHV2 Lysine can help a great deal - capsules are great for immune support and the ointment can't be beat for outbreaks. I tested positive for 6 of the bad boys - however most folks have been exposed to most of them too.

Herpes simplex virus Type 1 (HSV-1)

Herpes simplex virus Type 2 (HSV-2)

Epstein Barr virus (EBV)

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)

Human herpes virus 6 (exanthum subitum or roseola infantum)

Human herpes virus 8 (Kaposi's sarcoma-associate herpes virus)

http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/virol/herpes.htm

chris

I'm wondering to have they tested it for the herpes virus? Tx brings out all kinds of nasty stuff. I know I have had herpes but my immune system kept it in check. On Tx I fully expect it to blossom again. Did you all know that there is no difference between the herpes virus on your lips and the herpes virus in your private parts? I just learned that Only difference is the social stigma associated with the genital herpes.

Again we know how bad a antibiotic can make a fungus of virus. It should never be prescribed for either one!!!

Nystatin works for Candida which is a white cheesy looking stuff that grows like wildfire on a compromised immune system. If they have not checked for this fungus they would be the most incompetent doctors I have ever heard of. I have had this problem with vets where they prescribe antibiotics instead of anti fungals. Nystatin is the mildest form. Of course I didn't use any of it and used Caprylic acid which in my opinion worked better. Now remember I am talking about parrots but a good alternative doctor would know how to treat any fungus and there are many different types.

The one thing that's keeping your fungus alive and well is the fact that you are on antibiotics. I would think it impossible to treat a fungus while on antibiotics?
