Advice regarding use of herbal licorice to help with taper
I recently had a consult with a Naturopath for general well-being health recommendations. I also spoke of my prednisone use and my difficulties with withdrawal symptoms during the taper. She suggested using a licorice herbal supplement (Mediherb Adrenco) to ease the symptoms. I questioned her about this

Does anyone have experience with herbal supplements for PMR?
I am about a month into treatment for PMR. So far 20 mg/day of prednisone is helping, but I still have significant pain in the AM. After talking to my rheumatologist, I just started some turmeric in addition to prednisone. It's too early to tell if it helps. Does anyone have any experience augmenting

Constant thrush
Hi! Has anyone got any advice on how to deal with ongoing thrush? I’ve taken 2 lots of prescribed medication (the pessary/cream combi and antifungal medication) but it’s not shifting. Does anyone have any cheap (I’m a broke student) solutions to help with the itch? Thanks so much!

Thrush treatment for BV?
Hi! So I had a positive test from the doctors for BV but was prescribed fluconazole (which I’m unable to take for other health reasons). The doctor then prescribed canesten pessary and cream thrush treatment (which I am also unable to take due to ongoing bleeding). Is it normal to be given thrush treatment

Red scrotum
Does anybody else get red scrotum like this? I had a rash which I posted about the other day which has pretty much gone now with anti fungal. That was where the normal colour skin is, but my balls are really red. I don’t have any pain or hot or itchiness
