Hi,
Thank you for your response. I will admit over the years this did cause anxiety and resulted in seeing a counselor the last several years. After 7 years the girl finally told me she tested during her pregnancies.
I actually do take a probiotic but will also look into keifer.
Thank you for responding.
You almost seem like you have PTSD! You had a bad experience and wham, when something happened stress came back.
When I go to the dentist, they have me take antibiotics because of a heart mumer. But he always tells me to take probiotics for a few weeks after to avoid the over growth of the bad bacteria.
If the the "thrush" doesn't go away, pick up a bottle or try to drink keifer for a few weeks.
Be well
We don't look at pictures. I agree with what Howard has written.
Internal review is standard.
Thank you vance for your help. What are your thoughts about my situation. Did you see the pictures I posted?
Internal review? that doesn't sound good.
Thank you for your time
Dr's forum is closed for interanl review. I am here to help people by answering questions.
Hi Howard,
Thank you for your response. I certainly admit from all the medical literature Ive read this would be a medically anomaly if something were to ever show up. I actually thought it was because of the 4 day course of Penicillin VK as its a broad spectrum antibiotic, however, I had a dentist tell me that this seems to be a short course to have caused this.
Additionally, Literature supports that Nystatin should be effective in eliminating Candidas without recurrence. Being this is now the third relapse in this bothers me.
Hi Vance,
I guess I was just coming here to tell my story and connect. I also uploaded pictures if you care to take a look. Additionally, do you know why the Doctors forum does not work?
Why are you on the Forum ? Are you also just connecting etc?
Best.
This is a nonprofessional community forum; you won't get advice here from a medical expert. I'll just give you the standard responses from all of us who volunteer here. You clearly do not have HIV. All experts agree that lab testing for HIV always overrules symptoms. When the expert HIV prevention forum was active, the docs there often said that oral thrush in not rare in people with normal immune systems, and by itself doesn't mean HIV.
Seeing ENT and ID specialists makes sense to figure out the problem. But I'm sure it won't turn out you have HIV. Good luck with it.
I do not see a need to be pursuing any kind of medical specialist at this point, besides your family doctor or dentist, to address the thrush if it persists.
You do not have HIV. It seems like 7 years and over 40 tests later, it may be time to think about some therapy to move past this worry. It's simply not normal to be worried about something for so long, especially in the face of scientific proof to the contrary.
