Thanks for all the ideas and support - its much appreciated! As you know the old saying - "what else..." well, I have been up all night with what I am pretty sure is "thrush" covering my tongue and throat. Ugh. I'm waiting for the Urgent care to open and have dear son drive me in. I have had thrush before, but not to this degree. My tongue and throat looks like thrush, but feels almost like I have strept as the pain goes down the throat. Then, my one ear hurts and my eye (same one as blurred during flare and on same side as ear) is really bothering me and eye is watering. I read last nite (wonderful internet full of horror stories) that the thrush can effect your esophagus and spread like that so of course my little mind is ticking away......I also read where besides the steriods feeding the thrush, the bactrium I'm on for UTI can cause it too, so guess I'm outnumbered! Only good thought this am is that the IV steriod did help my legs so far - not wobbling around so much! If I have a flare again (trying to think positive) I think I'll ask for the 3 in 1 - steriod, antibiotic for UTI and treatment for thrush - should be at a discount! Thanks again for the support!
