Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 yeast infections are constant battle especially after taking an antibotic. I've been just using vinegar douches the last two months and seem to be getting just as good results. Ya have to take the diflucan the entire number of days thoe. Yours, mar teacherofpiano@... wrote: I"ve got a question. Currently I seem to have a neverending yeast infection. Does anyone else have this problem? If so how do you get rid of it? My rheumy put me on Diflucan for 10 days and it got rid of it, but after 2 days it was back. So I started it again and took it for 3 days and as soon as I stopped it came back. Any ideas? The other med's I am on are prednisone, imuran, pepcid daily and phengren, and pain killer as needed. I don't know if maybe the yeast infection is a side effect of one of these? I'd appreciate any help that can be given. My next rhuemy appointment is in 2 weeks. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Heidi - I take acidopholis (spelling?) pills from the health food store (it's what is found in yogurt) acidopholis gets rid of the bad yeast - I especially take it when I'm on antibiotics - works like a charm. I also take it on a daily basis to prevent yeast build-up and for my digestive system maintains good flora balance in your stomach/intestines.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Heidi, Have you been on any antibiotics recently? The yeast infections are usually generated from them. However from what I have read the Prednisone can also cause yeast infections. Try eating some Yoplait yogurt every day, or a glass of cranberry juice daily and it may help to get rid of the problem. I keep getting them also. In fact I have one right now but I just finished a 10 day regime of antibiotics because of having pnuemonia. I have had several yeast infections in my mouth also and also in my throat. There are lozenges that make it go away in your mouth and throat. Hope that you find some relief from these. The Difulcan should help to bring relief for a longer period of time than what you have experienced.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Normi, Has your Dad tried antihistamines? Sounds like an allergic reaction to me. Also, could be a form of yeast or fungal infection. Have him try a small patch with an antifungal cream. Good luck. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Thank you all very much for your help. It's been appreciated. I haven't been on any antibiotics that I know of. But I did buy some yogurt today and since Yoplait is my favorite... yum yum....my husband can't argue with me anymore that it's an unneccessary expense. Where can you find the throat lozanges? I haven't heard about those yet. Later, and thank you again! Heidi Esquivel-Sherwood wrote: Heidi, Have you been on any antibiotics recently? The yeast infections are usually generated from them.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Heidi, The lozenges are by prescription. Have your doc give you a script for them. You only have to use a couple of them a day for a couple of days usuallly. It will clear up the yeast infection in your mouth and throat quickly. I cannot think of the name of the lozenges but I think they are called Mysolic. Something like that. Take care and God Bless. And Yoplait is my favorite too. A container a day will keep the yeast infections away.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 HI all, I have a question I hope you all can help me with. ANd I think I have asked you all this before, but I forgot what anyone said. SORRY! My cute little daddio is having a lot of problems, and no one seems to know what is the problem or what to do. He has sores and blisters all over his hands. ANd I guess it is getting so bad, that washing his hands, face, showering and esp washing his hair is really very painful on his hands. He is getting them on the fingers and I am not clear if it is on the tips. But somehow I got that impression though. Sclroderma entered my mind. Hands seem to be the first place it goes or shows itself. It is just getting worse and worse, and I think the derma mentioned stress? yeah, ok!. Nothing RX has worked so far, can any of you please offer some advice or opinions, cortisone creams , nothing has worked so far. ANy ideas or advice and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & love, normi Raynaud's>My thumbs and right index finger have been peeling something >terrible. Very large patches peel.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 MM, I should have said that in my original post. My mother tells me that my father had a biopsy and they did it under a scope and slide and all. They thought it was fungus too, but was not according to culture growths, I am just stumped by this. I hate to see my daddio in pain. When he complains, it measn it is really bad and it hurts. He is not one to mention much about his health stuff, kind of like a cat that crawls off and hides.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Normi, About your Dad. If it's nerve endings acting up that is causing pain and peeling sores, he should be asking the doc about a med FOR nerve pain. Even something for anxiety might help. I know many of us take things like Neurontin, etc. so perhaps another member can give you the names of some meds for nerve pain and anxiety. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Go to Market Score at http://www.marketscore.com and sign up all of your POP3 email addresses there (Yahoo addresses, mail.com addresses and most other web-based email addresses will not be able to be run through there). SWBell, comcast and NetZero addresses do work but AOL does not. It is not a true download, if I remember right. I have had it running for about 2 months and have had about 10 or 15 emails that Market Score told me that they deleted the messages and/or attachments thereof for me and they give the reason, all of which were valid reasons as far as I was concerned.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Many times, if you have adrenal fatigue along with your hypothyroidism, you will not respond to the thyroid medication or your symptoms will be aggravated. My symptoms became very bad while on Armour even though my thyroid tests were looking great.. then I started on Isocort (for adrenals) and everything started falling right into place. The fatigue left, my hair stopped falling out, I was much less irritable. The only problem I'm having since getting my adrenals treated is that I'm gaining weight again. Now I need to fix that problem... it's always something! ...Kelley Several of you have mentioned that it is bad to treat hypo if adrenals aren't treated first or along with. What happens if you don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 > Several of you have mentioned that it is bad to treat hypo if adrenals aren't > treated first or along with. What happens if you don't? > You get like me *grin* The thyroid will slow down in part to compensate for bad adrenals. Your body wants to slow down your netabolism, so the thyroid slows down. Speed it up with meds and you speed up the metabolism, and then stimulate failing adrenals. This causes diarreha, heart palps, back pain, nausea, panic attacks, and lots of other stuff. It can cause you, in very severe cases, to go into shock and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 Hypothyroidism causes hoarseness and is listed as one of the signs for the problem. I don't know if it is supposed to get better or not with proper treatment, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably continue to do well, but you will be getting the T2, T1 and calcitonin in addition to the T4 and direct T3!! Exactly what your thyroid would be doing anyway!

What helps? Sing all the time. Sing in the car, sing in the shower, sing really loud, sing out strong, sing of good things, not bad...wait...I am getting off target here... Use your vocal chords and diaphram as much as possible. Go " over " those vocal chords and practice that " head voice " as my chior directors used to call it. That will help. You may never be first soprano again...neither will I...but you won't have to " miss " singing, because with private practice you will improve. With practice, my ex-husbands grandmother went back to singing her christmas solo at church (she has a superb voice) even after a stroke. While her voice was not as strong, she was determined to sing! And did a great job too! I also have a job that has me on the phone all day, and you are right it doesn't help one bit. You could always go to the local pub for Karaoke and wow them there! (ha ha ha) The other :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Yep.. I've been reading more and more that hoarseness and a lowering of the pitch of the voice is common.. out of curiosity I recorded my voice now and compared it to a recording from a year ago.. It is deeper.... From what I just read this morning it has to do with the overall slowing of the bodies reaction times.... This was sent to the Advocacy group that I'm involved with just this morning: go to " Thyroid Disease Manager and look for Chapter 9 on Adult Hypothyroidism. http://www.thyroidmanager.org . " It's a long and technical read.. but extremely interesting....

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hi B., I do know that a hoarse voice is one of the many, many symtoms of thyroid disease. Perhaps this is what happened to you?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 > how much synthroid would i need to take to really start losing weight? > You'd probably need to OD and go into thyroitoxicosis for that to happen. Or you could take up anorexia as a side hobby (just kidding). In all seriousness, while the inability to put on weight is one of my symptoms, I have read now and then that other people gain weight when they go hypo and gain more than they wanted on synthroid. One of the side effects of synthroid et al can be weight gain. Of course, the synthetic hormone I was on Levoxyl made me lose MORE weight, but I didn't come by that in a healthy way. I am only 88 lbs thanks in part to my bad reaction. Synthetic hormones made me very very sick. Truth is, most people who's hypothyroid conditions made them gain weight never lose weight on syntheitc thyroid. Its just not enough.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Zina, I have had people say that for folks with partial thyroid activity that using a natural supplement will allow the thyroid a chance to rest while still providing the body with the full range of hormone... I don't know if that is true.. but part of me would like to believe in the power of the body to heal itself, if given the chance to rest and develop the strength and resources to heal.. It's on that note that I take the adrenal supplements....
