Here's something new....

This a photo of a song thrush...lovely, isn't it?

I list things here to keep track of my journey so as to keep myself clear about how and when and what things are happening to me. I don't wish to offend the people that happen to read this along the way. But here it is...something new....another inconvenience. Hmmmpf!

With all the medications I am on, it didn't surprise me that I am ALWAYS thirsty. I drink water all day long. My mouth has felt dry and food has tasted different on the whole. All of this I attributed to the medications. Bottom line, my mouth has felt funny. Therefore, I have been brushing and brushing and brushing my teeth. I will spare you the details, but now I have THRUSH. Not the lovely bird in the photo, but a not so lovely coating on my tongue. If it's not one thing, it's another..sigh...

A good friend gave me a link to MayoClinic.com and I was able to get some information to help me take care of it...thanks, again, Eileen! I will soon be right as rain, I hope. The information I read was all about "adults with compromised immune systems" - yup that's me. 

On another note, I am adding another supplement today...Biotin joins the team on a daily basis for my hair...couldn't hurt, right?
