Avatar m tn During my wheezing episodes, they gave me a steroid inhaler quevar and to prednisone to help my breathing. It gave me oral thrush!! And I stopped taking the quevar inhaler a month ago and finished the prednisone medication 2 weeks ago. I finished the oral thrush mouth rinse last week. But I had reoccuring oral thrush this week... What's making this oral thrush come back?? I have had severe to mild episodes of sweating bouts and oily skin on my face when I do mild activities.

277836 tn?1359666174 As most of you know I am taking prednisone for UC. I have come down with oral thrush and the stomach pains are back worst than ever. If it werent for my family I would pray for god to end this misery I am in at this point. It is very tough on me the mood swings and all the sh!t that has come along with this medicine.
400099 tn?1282954864 I had this happen when I was on advair and an antibiotic at the same time. I had to go to my PCP for some other medication for the thrush. I am not a Doctor but I have not heard of Copaxone doing this. Copaxone on rare occassions can cause the salivary gland under the tongue to swell. I had this but it did not effect my taste.
Avatar m tn but unfortunately 4 days before 6 months test I had a meth prednisone injection for my dry mouth and white tongue and skin rashes . later found out that this is type of medicine which can suppers the immune system and following that no antibody production .I was in deep anxiety and stress science these 6 months window period (sleep 4 hours per day and very sick) ,again I'm under stress right now MOSTLY BECAUSE OF INJECTION.
1512008 tn?1290210749 I have recently been put on Dulera, and then went on high powered antibiotics and pred. The PA that diagnosed my first case of thrush said that it was the antibiotics as I am very consistent with thorough rinsing, gargling and brushing my teeth after using an inhaler. I also always use a spacer with MDI's. Maybe it was the Dulera though. However, I do know that the individual components of Dulera have been on the market for a very long time and used together my many people.
Avatar m tn This resolved, but I have been left with a peripheral neuropathy (diagnosed on nerve conduction tests) and persistent oral thrush. This has been dragging on now for nearly four months. Tested negative for all viruses including HSV, CMV, EBV, and HIV Ab/Ag was negative just shy of the four month mark. CBC normal, except my lymphocytes did take a dip towards the lower end of the normal range at the two-three month mark. My question is, where to from here?
Avatar f tn Bigtwin58, I'm afraid the prednisone dose was a bit too aggressive (1) as a starting dose AND also prednisone may have been contra-indicated (2) in the event that one of the following scenarios is present: a. classic clinical features of Sjögren syndrome may also be seen in infections with certain viruses. b. sjogren's is secondary to another rheumatic disease with an infectious basis.
1512008 tn?1290210749 i have been sick with bronchitis for over a month and have been on a number of medications...2 different antibiotics, prednisone and now nystatin orally for a yeast infection from my asthma medications. is this due to all the medicaitons i have been on in the past few weeks. plus i havent had any time in between medications so i was wondering if maybe my body just hasnt been able to adjust.
Avatar f tn At the end of that week 12/16 I developed oral thrush, went to my GP he did not think I needed to test for any stds and said stds don’t cause oral thrush and treated me for me for thrush with nystatin. Went back to the Dr on 12/28 as the thrush was not really improving. He said it seemed more like a coated tongue now and I should use a tongue scraper to finish clearing up my tongue. I insisted on an sti panel including hsv igg 1/2.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have been dealing with thrush since the end of September 2014. I have tried to nystatin a couple of times plus difulcan 150mg for 7 days over and over since the end of September and I am currently on diflucan 100mg for 30 days since January 29, 2015. I am about done with that and it is still there..I can't get it to clear up.
Avatar m tn If you havent been diagnosed with thrush (and even if you have doctors seem to misdiagnose thrush A LOT) then you cant assume thats what you have. Ive been there and done that already.
Avatar n tn What was your risk ? When was your last risk? Generally, if the Diflucan or Nystatin does NOT work on your thrush, it's NOT thrush. Oral thrush is fairly common in many HIV negative individuals. Thrush does NOT equal HIV. HIV can NOT be diagnosed by ANY symptoms or lack of. You need to test 3 months after your LAST possible exposure ( unprotected anal/vaginal sex, IV drug use). Antibiotics are known to worsen oral thrush.
Avatar f tn A 3 month post exposure is conclusive not two months. Thrush is not HIV specific and in most cases is brought on my mouth wash and the use of antibiotics. Thrush is not a sign of recent HIV infection and the only way to know that you have thrush is to be tested and diagnosed by a doctor or a dentist.
Avatar m tn I have been reading alot of stuff on the internt suggesting oral thrush= HIV and I am concerned that the thrush came after my negative test. I have also read that there is a "window period" for false negatives for HIV and this really scares me. Can someone shed some light onto this for me? thanks!
Avatar m tn aids is oral thrush.
Avatar n tn My husband has an unconfirmed dx of THS. What I mean by that is that we have not been able to confirm it on an MRI. However he has/ has had all the symptoms and his neurologist has ruled out everything else. His Dr believes that the reason it is not showing on the MRI is because of the Prednisone is making any inflammation. His symptoms started what we thought were severe migraines, nausea, etc, but he didn't respond to normal migraine meds.
Avatar m tn 4 months ago I began a therapy with prednisone (25 mg per day) and one month lather I got tested for hiv 1-2, the result hopefully was negative and all my blood exams were normal (but antibodies against HBV positive, without virus). My doctors said me that hiv is not a problem for me. However i began to worry again because it was been told me that prednisone is an immunosupressant and I fear that it could hide my hiv antibodies. What do you think about? Sould I have to get another test?
Avatar n tn I would not be concerned about someone taking prednisone having sex and passing it to their partner. Are you allergic to prednisone for why you are asking?
