Poorly finger..................

12 Replies

You are not going to believe this,i have more antibiotics and drops for my tongue. For three weeks i have had a very sore finger. It felt like i had a splinter in it and i know i hadn't done anything to cause it. I thought it was my ra as my fingers are very inflamed. My rheumy nurse reckoned it could be an infection and she told me to go to the drs hence more antibiotics. I have oral thrush in my mouth due to the last course of antibiotics so i have drops for that as well.

I am a walkng disaster area, just as well that i have a sense of humour isn't it as i don't know what i would do. Please no wise cracks about the thrush!!! i can see your brains doing overtime to think of something funny to say...... ok lets see how many i get from this blog....xx

Its no fun being sensible Joanne,keep them coming. I couldn't have the foils in my hair as it is so short,next time i will have the foils and then i will get it cut shorter. My grace cut it for me and as i was complaining about sweating so much so she went snip snip and this is the result.

Thank you.xx

i love the hair too! t's a great colour :)

I can't crack any jokes Sylvi because I got oral thrush too last month after antibiotics. Are they them yellow cherry flavoured drops? Nasty!!! I did wonder if just eating natural yogurt could help as I remember something about it being good for thrush in more delicate areas :-) not that I've tried it lol

Never fear nystatin's here

To treat your mouth from ear to ear

Lovely taste, but treat you teeth

Especially if they're false :-) you see

The little fungus you have got

Will give it's best bloody shot

To get inside you're belly

Then it will try to make your poo

So stinky and so smelly

Your doctor should have told you this

But doctors sometime miss

So as a friend I thought I'd say

So smelly poo won't spoil your day.

Lots of love

Hi Sylvi, seeing your post I thought 'Oh no, what's she been up to now ! '

You do manage to keep the NHS fully employed ! (Only joking, I do feel for you with all that you are/have been going through). Bless you.

Yoghurt is said to be good for thrush as Paula suggested. I had oral thrush years ago due to a couple of courses of antibiotics for sinusitis (I know you've recently had sinus problems - as well as everything else!) I was told to gargle it and swill it around my mouth last thing at night when I was going to bed so that it had longer to work. I was also given tablets, can't remember what they were so I've never been sure whether it was the tablets or the yoghurt, but something worked !

What's with the crossed over hands ? (I bet you dropped your breakfast down yourself and your hiding the blobs!) (Nice hair by the way).

Hopefully a good day for you

The crossed hands are to show the colours on my new nails, nothing sinister!! I can't believe it about my fingers. I am a danger to my self i'm not safe to be let out. Just as well i have a sense of humour, isn't it. xxx

You do have a good sense of humour very much needed in our case. Sorry I didn't realise about the nails but from what I can see they look good and so does your hair. It took me a little while to realise that the back of the head of hair I could see in the picture wasn't yours (with eyesight like mine I can't blame me for not noticing your nails). sorry xxxx

I thought the cross hands was part of the dance, (can't think of the name), you were doing whilst at the hairdressers! Lovely colour nails, how do you keep them long and elegant looking, mine just curl and split. Sorry to hear you have had to add another string to your bow, so to speak. I hope this heals quickly for you. And no will not comment on the Oral thrush! xxx

Georje, its easy when their false,my own nails are so bad now due to the drugs hence the falsies. It is just another thing i have to put up with and if i don't laugh i would surely go under and i don't intend that to happen. It was hard enough when i had the hassle over my knee and being told there was nothing wrong with it when there was.

Love sylvi.xx
