My body is on strike!

Off to the doctor I go again friends! This morning I woke up with cold sores on top and bottom lip, I have been feeling what I think is a urinary tract infection coming on. most likely from the prednisone. I hate taking all of these doggone pills! I just want to be done with it! My husband will be home in a few days for a visit and I just want to be presentable. Lets see! In the last two weeks, I have managed to somehow contract scabies, which thank God I have taken care of and thank God my daughter didn't catch. So, I have a rash that is dissipating now. My back has gone out, been unable to do anything up until now. I now may have a UTI and I am breaking out in cold sores on my lips. I know as soon as they put me on antibiotics for the UTI, I will get a yeast infection. It happens every time. My body is a comedy of errors. I just hope that tomorrow I don't wake up with a toe fungus or something!

hi mamasan! ^__^ i hope you're feeling better now. that was some real body mess you got there. ^__^;; i've experienced something like that too and often i would like God has forsaken me and its better if i just die and stop the aching. LOL its really depressing when sickness and sickness come after another and i would just feel like, there is something wrong with me, bigger than what i'm experiencing which are only symptoms of that bigger one. and then, i would also feel like, asking myself if i had something terribly wrong to someone that's why i'm having such a bad fate. ^__^;; but then, there's a hope that the next morning that i woke up, i would feel better. and then the sickness would stop coming and i'll feel better again and everything would be back to normal. ^__^

I do feel your pain, girl! And cold sores always come at the worse possible time. I hope everything goes better for you and you can get off those pills. I also hope everything clears up for you before the hubby comes home, but if not just remember that he loves you no matter what.

My goodness mamasan, I thought I had problems with my body rebelling, but now I see you have it worse than I do. I hope your body decides to calm down a little and get back to normal. It sounds like it just about rebelled in every way so maybe it's done now, haha. Hang in there and I'll cross my fingers so you don't end up with a toe fungus.

You poor baby. You're having such a rough time. Sounds like you almost have things under control and hopefully you begin to feel better soon. I do think there are other kinds of antibiotics you can take for a UTI and one won't cause yeast infections. I use to get them all the time when I took antibiotics. One visit the dr. decided to prescribe another antibiotic and it worked. No yeast infection. Hope you feel better soon and have a better day, carolbee

I will not tell you what is wrong with me, and I have all the sympathy with you. I had a case of shingles and I did have a bad case of yeast infection. It occurs once in a while, and it seems the creme just gets rid of the fungi and does nothing to relieve the itching. Those suppositories are a pain in the — well I will not say it. I have pain in the side of my knee if I sit down too long. I have cosmetic pimples around my hair line. But you have it worse then me. I do hope the antibiotics will not cause you to get a yeast infection. That would really hurt. My sympathy for you.

Are you eating healthy and taking vitamins ? Sounds like your immune system is on the down low.
