I dont have any answers for you ... but I will say a prayer for some healing. There are many of us on here that have terrible symptoms, as I deal with some myself.  We can relate to the fears, and the frustration. Good luck to you & god bless

I believe you need to improve your nutritional status and allow your body to heal itself. Please get a book on detoxifying the body and start incorporating the new diet into your regime.
Thrush develops as a result of an overgrowth of bad flora, the imbalance occurs frequently in diabetics. The fact that you are taking cortisone only complicates your situation, cortisone raises your blood sugar and that's the environment thrush prefers.
There is a lot of information on the benefits of vitamin c. Please read up on it as it could change your situation for the better.
Good Luck
