'Safe'
[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.
"Are you having abdominal pain? Unusual pressure? Feel like your insides are being devoured by a hellspawn? You might have an alien baby!
"Or possibly Candida. It's hard to say."
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.

This sounds right out of Star Trek

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.
Hec, I hope the nasty mouthwash works quickly.
I went to the farmer's market. There wasn't any veg yet, other than some lettuce, which I didn't need. I ended up with some goat cheese, some cows milk cheese, two cake pops, and a scone. There was also lots of plants and a beef vendor.
