Gross - Thrush!

OK, I have to just take a second to express my horror at the fact that I was diagnosed with a yeast infection in my mouth yesterday - known as thrush. Thank God I went to the doc early before it got really nasty and started to hurt. It feels like I have powder in my mouth or something, it's a strange sensation.

So the stress of the season has allowed my immunity to sink low enough for a yeast overgrowth. Yuck. There are special diets and/or cleanses to get rid of candida yeast. I'll have to look it up. In the mean time, more diflucan and a nasty oral antibiotic mouth rinse. Some oral probiotics should help too. Ugh!
