Yesterday I noticed that my mouth had started to crack around the corners. Uncomfortable, but nothing to really be too worried about. I slapped on some Vaseline and kept on going threw the day. I woke up this morning and my mouth was killing me. I looked in the mirror and guess what folks....I have thrush, UGG!!
Now for those who don't know, thrush is caused by an infection from bacteria known as Candidiasis. Normally our body is able to keep this bacteria balanced within our system. But, when your immune system is weakened it can effect how much is grown, and when too much grows...Voila! Thrush.
It should be pretty easy to get rid of. I called my doctor's office and since I've had it before, they should (hopefully) be able to write up a script and fax it over to my pharmacy before quitting time. For me, I prefer the lozenge method of getting rid of thrush. Much easier on my system than the liquid and cream medication doctor's can also use.
So here I am, watching cheesy (yet awesome) movies on the SYFY channel and trying to keep my mind off of the added pain from my mouth. One more thing I have to worry about, blah! If you guys want any extra info about Thrush or how to treat it I'll have two url underneath here that you can move over too. One is from WEBMD and the other one is from the Mayo Clinic. If you guys have any ways of treating thrush write it in the comments section, I would love to see if there are any real good homeopathic ways of getting rid of this. Until next time!
