THRUSH IS POSSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT

Hello again,

As I stated before, I was diagnosed with Thrush; a fungal infection in my mouth. This is a direct result of all the antibiotics I have consumed over the past few months. I have been on levaquin, (both iv and tablets), Flagyl(Iv and tabs), Zitromax, Rosephin injections 7 straight days, amoxicillian, etc.

Thrush first reared its ugly head when I noticed my Coca Cola didn't taste right. Then next symptom was my tongue burned. I at first acredited this to hot peppers I had consumed the night before...LOL!

When the burning did not cease over night and I could not talk right, I investigated on the internet and found thrush. I do have it. White patches on my tongue. White patches in my mouth. This fungus can spread down your throat and cause major problems as you can well imagine. It can also cause a systematic yeast infection, which will spread through your bloodstream and could in fact KILL you if not treated. IF you suffer from a burning tongue, white patches, funny tasting foods, etc, after taking antibiotics of ANY kind, seek medical assistance. YOu need a prescription for Nystatin liquid to swish in mouth and swallow, you may also need an oral antifungal (possibly Difulcan), and you can also help your body by eating yogurt with active cultures (very important) and taking acidopholus tablets (check with your doctor before taking any over the counter medications or herbs. Herbs are natural but that does NOT mean they are safe. Arsenic is natural too!!!)

Gentleman: You are not immune to this infection. It is a yeast infection, related to the kind ladies get. And any of you that have ever been around a woman suffering from one KNOW how much agony they can be. YOu must seek assistance as well.

Please feel free to contact me directly at tellirma@hotmail.com. Together we can make the world a better place.

Never doubt that the ideas of a few people can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

Hello again,

Update:

Went to my doctor's office and fired him. I was there thursday and told him about my ears and my nose and my burning tongue. He shoved a tongue depressor in my mouth, causing me massive distress, brought tears to my eyes. Said, Um hm, listened to my lungs, prescribed Zyrtec (allergy Medication) and sent me on my merry way!

NOT ONCE did he look in my ears or nose. Dumba...!

So friday I went back and fired him officially and professionally, in front of his staff and other patients. Changed to another primary care physician in the center (this one actually diagnosed my pneumonia 3 weeks ago) and went through urgent care.

After Spending most of Friday early am on the puter, I discovered that what I was suffering from in my mouth was a fungal infection caused by all the antibiotics I was taking and it is called Thrush. I confirmed this by looking at my tongue in a mirror and seeing white patches on the left side of my tongue. I tried a home remedy: DO NOT DO THIS!!!!! it said at web md I believe, I am not sure, to do 1part hydrogen peroxiide and 3 parts water, gargle and swish in mouth.

At first, the first 10 seconds, no reaciton...then HOLY CRAP!

My mouth foamed up like I had the rabies! and the PAIN!!!
OMG in Heaven. after rinsing with plain water I looked at my poor tongue through tears and saw the spots enlarge by the peroxide. Now, if I could see the spots before the peroxide and after, how come Doctor Dipsh> didnt see em with a magnifier and bright light?

The walk in doctor confirmed my own diagnosis of Thrush. Prescribed Nystatin liquid which I have to use 4-5 times a day (20-25 bucks at Winn Dixie Pharmacy prescription only)
Difulcan to combat a vaginal yeast infection
Doxycline for the sinus and Ear infections. (yes, another antibiotic!)
She said that the zithromax was having no effect whatsover on the ear infection or sinus'.

If you want to discuss any situation concerning this topic, please contact me at tellirma@hotmail.com. I am a writer for a newspaper and I am putting together a series on this. It is such BS. We must stick together and help ourselves and our dumba.. doctors....if we dont who will?
