I got Thrush the last round of IVSM I did. Ask your MD for that swish and swallow medicine. its yellow, tastes gross, but will work great.

I hope you are feeling better and better.

I can read a little of the text on the screen with the bad eye as long as I dont try to read too fast, and keep my eye still. It's blurry tho, and it goes back and forth in quality and ability. But, I can actually see things out of my eye today. YAY! I couldnt see anything out of that eye over the weekend. That was scary!

The thrush-iness seemed to go away after I used some lactobacillius pills that I had. Still have the sniffles and a bit of a tummy ache. I hate choking down the oral pred, but I've done IVSM without a taper before and I'm never doing that again, so I'll put up with the nasty taste and tummy ache it gives if you dont drink water and eat something fast enough after taking the oral pred.

I'm just glad that the steroids feel like they're working this time. The oral pred that I had around xmas didnt do a thing for me (except give me the crazies). I can feel the IVSM doing something for me this time...I dont feel all stressed out on this stuff this time. That's what was scaring me out of asking for IVSM when the vision stuff started a couple of weeks ago. I was scared of getting the crazies from the steroids. Now I'm glad that I gave in and begged for the IVSM. If my eye hadnt hurt as bad as it did, I wouldnt have asked.

I just hope I get my good vision back and I dont have any leftover weirdness from all this. This was my "good" eye that went bad this time. I need my eyes! I crochet and knit all the time. I'm going to be really mad if I have leftover problems.
