Default thrush anyone?

i was due for a 3rd shot this afternoon, but yesterday i realized i had an awful case of thrush. my tongue was white and it had little white blisters underneath and the roof of my mouth is all splotchy and red and sore. i couldn't eat today - a little bit of jello and a cup of ice cream. it hurts to swallow. the pain doc prescribed diflucan for the infection... 1 pill yesterday and 1 pill tomorrow. i suppose it looks better today, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

i read that thrush is a side effect of steroids, but i've never seen it in an adult - well, except for one woman who was dying of cancer.

i am so tired of things creeping up. my arm is holding its own today and i even made it thru therapy without crying. i guess i can find peace in that, huh?
