Maybe not what you wanted to hear about right now, David, but maybe it will give you a laugh anyway.
It's as onerous as an alien erupting out of somewhere!
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's a picture of a baby friggin' xenomorph just after it has burst out of John Hurt's chest in the first Alien movie.

I've had a couple of rounds with thrush. My doctors first want to give me an antifungal mouthwash with lidocaine. In my experience, it does fine at numbing the mouth, but not as well as an antifungal pill for actually making the thrush go away.
My IBS has been miserable the last few weeks. I may have to take up kombucha, kefir and god knows what.

Moms always talk about using gentian violet for thrush. It works pretty well and you can get it at Walgreens.
eta: i have three bottles at home but that doesn't help you much, David.

Good to know, though, Stephanie.

Last night Hec and I were speculating on possibly trying a course of dittany, which Wikipedia tells me is good for digestive troubles as well as when you've been Splinched.

So it's Thrush and I don't get the Difulcan, but the super nast mouthwash-and-swallow Nystatin. Which is what they gave me when I first got Thrush, 14 years ago. But at least it works.
He almost tried to send me out of there with a tongue scraper and a pat on the back but fuck that shit! I want the nasty medicine!

Moms say nystatin is about totally worthless and it was for Sammy. That's why we went with the GV because the thrush came back with nystatin. Anyway, maybe since you are an adult you will be better at accepting the nasty stuff.
