The Yeast That Took Over the World
I hate this yeast. I hate it with every fiber of my being.
Yesterday, we went to my midwife to see about the raging boob yeast. “I’m not entirely sure that is yeast…” she said. See, she said that because I have taken it upon myself to wash the evil bumps with Dial soap. Yes, Dial soap. It’s no longer as bumpy, but it looks like someone took a cheese grater to it. I was, desperate, see? It had to go away, and Dial kills 99.9% of…well, everything. I figured, what the hell? Might kill of the yeast, too.
It didn’t. Just my skin. Now I’m not so bumpy but raw, ragged and itchy. I am an idiot.
She prescribed me a 3 month treatment of Diflucan. THREE MONTHS. Because, apparently, my yeast is evil.
Ben’s pediatrician prescribed him more Nystatin because the Miconazole was not working. If it doesn’t go away in yet another two weeks, he’s to go in and see them. However, after one treatment of Nystatin last night, he’s much less red and there are nearly no more bumps left. I think we’re finally in the home stretch with his demonic yeast.
Now, I’m going to go boil my nipples.

Stupid EVIL yeast! Leave Jess and her little one alone!
I hope that the diflucan works for you, and that the Nystatin continues to help Ben. Boy you guys have been through a lot.
Didn’t know you were so kinky.
Im so sorry Jess! I really hope it goes away quickly!
Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
Dial is evil. Not as evil as yeast, but evil nonetheless.
I had thrush. It sucks. Go to the health food store and get some probiotics. Then go to town! Ive heard some midwives recommend mixing probiotic powder (empty a little capsule) into some breastmilk and let the baby have some from a little cup. The good bacteria will annihilate the yeast. Its been a few years, so feel free to do some research on this, but it helped me and other that I know.
Good luck!
I hate your yeast! I hate yeast in general now. I am going to eat nothing but pita bread from now on, in your honor.
Hope the diflucan works!
