I was diagnosed with Oral Thrush after taking Prednisone, inhaled oral steroids, birth control pills, and a z-pack. I completed 10 days of Diflucan with a starting dosage of 200 mg followed by 9 days of 100 mg. Despite adding 5 10 mg troche lozenges of Mycelex daily five days ago, my symptoms have not improved. I am avoiding alcohol, sugar, yeast, and caffeine, and I am HIV negative, a non-smoker, and exercise regularly. I drink at least 4 liters of water per day and sleep 6.5 hours per night. Should I continue the Mycelex? How long before I see the symptoms abate? I'm worried because the medication does not appear to be working. I've taken acidophilus supplements daily and brush 3x daily as well. Please advise.

I had my tubes tied on October 10th, along with a cyst removed from my ovary. I started my period on October 13th, but I haven't had a period this month. Is this normal, especially since I was on birth control pills before the surgery?

I have had a blood test showing low sodium levels (133mM) in my blood, and I have anxiety which is making me worry about potential kidney failure or other health issues. Additionally, I have been experiencing random chest pains and seeing floaters in my eyes. What should I be concerned about, and what steps should I take?

I have had the Marina coil in for nearly a year now and my periods got lighter and lighter until there was almost nothing, but this month I seem to be having a very heavy period. Is this normal or should I get it checked?

I have had two abnormal periods in the past two months, with symptoms including bloating, mild cramps in the lower abdomen, fatigue, increased hunger, and sore breasts. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, but pregnancy tests have been negative. What could be causing these symptoms?
