I too am in the slow lane. I also tend to "over react" to my own health when I am tired, stressed, run down, or dont feel good.

You had a course of antibiotics? Then you may have an over growth of bad bacteria in your gut, and 70% of our immune systems come from our gut. Eat yogurt (or take the acidopholus pills) get some probiotics going to re balance your gut. Yogurt (non fruited) can be rubbed on your bum to help that diaper rash, but the unbalanced bacteria could explain why it was so severe for you.

I hope you are feeling chipper in no time.

I get yeast under my breasts too, and get a lot of relief from plain old Mentholatum (although it will sting at first if the skin is broken.) BTW, I notice that consuming sugar or alcohol makes the yeast act up. I've also used nystatin cream with success, but you need a prescription.

Thanks Dej, I've been thinking of doing that. Eat yogurt that is, haven't thought about the rub it on the bum thing.

I discovered one thing that was wrong with me and fixed that, so some things are better, at least psychologically. My DD gave me her Prozac when she quit it and she had ordered 10 mg size to cut down and I thought they were 20mg. I take 40, so when I dbled her's, I was only taking 20 for about a week, so was having withdrawal sx.

How are your eyes doing? Healing? I hope so.
