In Reply to: yeast infections (P.S) - can cause

a yeast infection because: they kill all the *good bacteria* a body needs to fend off such infections, as well as the *bad* bacteria. That is what antibiotics CAN or MAY cause yeast infections.

Fabric softeners CAN or MAY contribute to yeast infections because: They put a coating of a wax-type material on your clothes to reduce static and to make them feel softer. This coating on your clothes, particularly women's undies, reduces the body's ability to *breathe*. Moist, warm places which cannot be relieved by oxygen are good breeding grounds for these types of infections. Therefore, fabric softeners have been linked to yeast and vaginal infections.

antibiotics . . .
I heard a report that we are building up resistance to antibiotics due to extensive amounts given to livestock, thus it is in our meat and dairy.

Best to avoid sun if on any antibiotics

That's possible, but I actually very rarely take antibiotics

This is an exception - I have been running a low-grade fever off and on this entire time, so I know something is going on, whether it's just inflammation or an infection.

In talking to the doc on this last visit, we figured out that my problem is mainly an allergy to molds. We had an extremely wet late spring/early summer (it broke previous records for number of straight days of rain) and my symptoms began shortly afterward. I have noticed that many times my symptoms begin the day after it rains.

I feel better today, for the first time in a LONG time. I don't know if it is due to the fact that I took the last of the antibiotic yesterday, or that I spent almost all day yesterday in bed resting.

I am going to see about getting tested for allergies, including an allergy to mold. I've done a bit of netsurfing and there are treatments for that, but they aren't effective for everyone. After what I've been through the past two months, though, I am certainly willing to give it a try!

I talk to the doctor about the possibility of a fungal infection, also. Is there a test for it? (I am a radiology MT, don't know as much about the clinical side)

I am lactose intolerant so I haven't drunk milk in years, but I do eat ice cream and cheese and foods with milk-based sauces. I probably should try to avoid those when I'm having a sinus flare-up.

Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn't thought of the possibility of a fungus. I will certainly investigate it.

Of course antibiotics can't cure you...
the flu is a VIRUS. I think that everyone is getting far too upset about this.

I meant antibiotics given for second phase
Does that make sense? Some can be hospitalized because of developing pneumonia from the flu and are given antibiotics to treat pneumonia, but antibiotics are only good for bacterial pneumonia, not viral pneumonia.
