Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

In the movie the poet Cyrano is a dwarf ( he calls himself a midget) who is secretly in love with a woman named Roxane, who sees him as a friend. She falls in love with another man, who is no good with words. This man gets Cyrano to write love letters to Roxane for him. Roxane falls in love with the man because of the beautiful poetry, not realizing it's Cyrano who is behind it.

Ohh I think I remember that story. Thanks

Nancy bought me nursing pads but I cant even stand that touching me right now. I am washing it quite a few times thru the day. Mine has pus leaking down my stomach if I dont.

Granny, you really do need to see a doctor about that.

I got the futon and the arbor in the back of my truck, and was still able to close the window! Shopped quite a bit today, but still didn't find any cheap exterior mistint paint.
Rural king usually has chicks, but today all they had was broad breast white turkeys. All of the rabbits they had last time i went there were sold.
TSC didn't have chicks yet.

Tomorrow there is a sale i want to go to in Hurt, VA. Crazy name for a place. I think Granny should move there and be mayor!

Granny, I have some thoughts about your yeast problem...
Perhaps the dr can give you a topical spray for pain relief so you can use the nursing pads that Nancy brought. I think it's important to reduce the amount of moisture and pus on your skin, and it seems obvious that the powder is not enough. Maybe once the pads are in place they won't hurt too much.

Not all honey is created equal. Most of the cheap stuff (especially from other countries), regardless of what it says on the label, is actually corn syrup mixed with a small amount of honey. This will make your yeast worse... it will grow because the sugar will feed it. Raw organic honey (like manuka) is the only type that may help because it has the antibacterial properties and might kill off your yeast. If you do try it, choose a small area to test for a day or 3 before smearing it all over.

Same idea about trying the yogurt. Only plain (organic, if possible) sugar free yogurt with active cultures has a chance to work. You can buy a small cup for buck or so, and give it a try on a small area. It can't possibly smell worse than the yeast, so don't be a baby!

There are a lot of home remedies you can try, but some of them, like apple cider vinegar, sound too painful for your case. Coconut oil might be an option. This article has ideas for home remedies. https://pharmeasy.in/blog/try-these-simple-home-remedies-for-fungal-infections/

Your diet can make a difference. Cut out sugar sources because sugar in your blood stream is food for yeast. That means no starches (anything made with flour, rice, potatoes, etc), no sweets or fruits. Watch out for hidden sugars. I bet your creamer has some sort of fructose or corn syrup in it. It's not helping you. Neither is the caffeine in the coffee. Caffeine is notoruis for causing inflammation throughout the body.  BUT, I think your cigarette reduction program is most important, so don't deprive yourself of your favorite drink and risk the success you've had so far. (Maybe try a half decaf mix and find a sugar free creamer? Or not.)


Have you ever tried Ketoconazole? It's an antifungal that's in Nizoral shampoo, but you can also get an oral dose with prescription. Not sure about taking it with all your meds. I just know it worked for me. Years ago I started getting what looked like cradle cap in the hairline of my forehead. I tried regular dandruff shampoo, but no luck. After 2 yrs (!) dealing with it, my nurse friend told me it was probably yeast and go buy Nizoral. It was like a miracle cure! I wonder if you could use the shampoo on your skin... or get an oral prescription.

Last thing, I know my dad would recommend, is colloidal silver. He's cured all sorts of skin problems spraying it on topically. It has been used for centuries, but most drs consider it snake oil. Not many studies have been done, but throughout history, silver has been used as an antibacterial. Pioneers and sailors would drop a silver dollar in their water or milk containers to keep it sterile. Cruise ships today use a form of silver in their fresh water storage tanks. Might be worth a try.

In your shoes I would definitely try something. The only risk for most of the remedies, other than not working, is not killing off all the yeastie beasties, and possibly ending up with a strain that becomes immune to treatment. Seems to me that may have already happened for you, so trying an alternative could be worth it.

oh my Wishing, you have done a LOT of research for me Thank you.
I have tried Ketoconazole , vinegar burns like mad. coconut oil I have tried as well.
My honey is from US and does say 100% honey on the label but the one Nancy has been using is from here locally and doesnt say anything. She bought it from the amish store.
My coffee does have corn syrup or something like that. I dont think I can give that up right now. Theres a lot of stress and worry going on in my life right now.
where would one find that silver stuff? Pharmacy or?
I will go read your link. Thank you again for all the tips.

Feels like 47° outside, and windy. Not enthused about going outside, but have to get the goats fed. I did get a new nozzle for my hose, the old one was useless.
