I never feel rested even after 10 hours sleep, I get little boils on my skin all over my body (not many..just in all different locations)  , The skin on my hands is cracking and falling apart, I find my head feels like it is filled with cotton balls, I have chronic sinus infections that keep coming back.  My erection is working only about 50% as hard as a year ago, my breath is bad, my toungue gets little painful white bumps (not many) that appear and then dissapear in a day or two.\n\nOf note, my last two girlfriends have both developed horribly bad yeast infections after sleeping with me.  At one point both her and me took an anti-fungal medication (perscription) and suddenly I was all better in all ways.  no more of the symptoms described above.\n\nSO...what is it?  Someone said candidisis (chronis full body yeast infetion)  Anyone out there ever had this or something similar?

Don't waste your time and life asking something like that on Yahoo!!!!  The people on here are NOT doctors.  You NEED a doctor!  You need to call your PCP (primary care physician) immediately!  You should have done so a long time ago.  You should refrain from all sexual activity until your doctor gives you the go ahead (you could be endangering your girlfriends as well as yourself).  No matter whether it is Candidisis (yes that is a real affliction) or not, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

With a yeast infection, common symptoms are a cheesy white discharge, irritation, intense burning and itching, and redness in the area.\n\nHowever, you don't have to have ALL of these symptoms. \n\nWhile I wouldn't recommend any over the counter remedies or douches just yet, you could try a less expensive natural approach. Eat plenty of yogurt, cut down on sugar, etc. Also, spread some of that yogurt around your labia, as the bacteria compete with the fungal candida...if it is in fact a yeast infection. That way, you may nip it in the bud before a discharge, odor, or pain rear their ugly heads. \n\nIf the symptoms worsen, there's a vareity of over-the-counter remedies that will suit ya just fine.

Well if you are already showing signs and symptoms, than of course the doctors can tell!  As for a yeast infection -possibly but they always say it is something else if your discharge is discolored and if there is a foul smell.  A yeast infection discharge tends to look like cottage cheese and has no odor.  Many STD's or infection can be cured with antibiotics, but some cannot.  Get checked ASAP!  I've never had that happen personally but I had an allergic reaction to some spermicide once it scared me half to death -so go get checked out!  You won't quit freaking out until you do!

It sounds to me like what I had late last year. Walking pnemonia was the culprit and I had a very bad cough and was sore around my lungs (front and back) from coughing for days on end. I contacted my physician and he prescribed an antibiotic (I cannot remember which one) which helped fight the infection, and also prescribed cough syrup with codine to help supress the cough and enabled me to sleep at night. \n\nI hope this helps you out and most importantly - get well soon!\n\nOh, and I'm not a doctor - but I play one on Yahoo!

IF it's yeast, which even doctors misdiagnose sometimes, it should respond to treatment UNLESS it is a resistant species.  Most yeast infections are caused by Candida Albicans, but I personally have Candida glabrata.  Other species may or may not respond to treatment.  \n\nAlso, since the yeast went away, it's logical to assume that it was the albicans strain.  As such, it's return means that either a) you didn't take enough, or quit the treatment too soon b) you have a precipitating factor causing yeast overgrowth.  In which case, a is easily remedied and b) needs evaluation for HIV, diabetes, or allergens.  \n\nHIV compromises the immune system creating chronic yeast in some women, and diabetes and lack of control of insulin in addition to compromising the immune system, also can cause yeast to grow out of control.  For me, allergens can cause excess vaginal discharge which provides a hospitable environment facilitating their growth.  I've even changed everything to unscented (soap, detergent) and still have problems.  Allergens can cause a problem in that steroids used to treat them often cause yeast overgrowth too, so I was up the creek without a pattle.\n\nI use boric acid suppositories, they are safe, inexpensive (about $30 for a 3-month supply), and they WORK.  I'm possibly having issues with them right now inflaming my urethra due to over-use, so I would recommend you use them every 3-4 days, not every other day like me.  Boric acid alters the ph literally making it impossible for yeast to live.  It takes longer than 3 days for yeast to return again (usually four to five days).  You can get a prescription for this, generally gynecologists know about this trick, or you can go to the drug store and get boric acid poweder and put 600 mg in a gelatin capsule.\n\nDiet is an iffy thing, with huge debate.  If it worked, then I'd say go with it.  But generally, in otherwise healthy women without diabetes, diet shouldn't be an issue.

Many things.  It could be you are getting over an illness and your immune system is down.  You may have a hang-over.  You may be dehydrated or you may have thrush.  Brush your teeth well, drink plenty of water, eat fresh, citrus fruit and plain yoghurt.  Give it 3 days and if it hasn't cleared, then go see your GP / Dr for advice.  It could be an indicator of other conditions.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Yeast, or Candida albicans, reside naturally in warm, moist areas like the vagina. When conditions allow (such as when the body's natural pH balance is upset), yeast can begin to multiply and cause an infection. In women, symptoms include genital itching, burning, and a thick, white discharge that typically resembles cottage cheese. \n\nAlthough it is unusual for a man to contract a yeast infection from a woman through intercourse, it is possible. In an infected man, the yeast reside in the urethra, the canal through which urine passes from the body, and can cause penile itching and burning during urination. \n\nA man who gets a yeast infection from his partner can pass it back to her. So even if a woman gets successful treatment, she may soon find herself reinfected if her partner does not receive treatment as well. This is something to consider, especially if infections seem to recur often. \n\nAbstaining from sex during a yeast infection is the only sure way to prevent transmission back and forth between partners. Besides, intercourse can worsen the inflammation caused by the infection, and you may feel too sore or uncomfortable to have sex anyway. It's also recommended that you avoid performing oral sex on a partner -- male or female -- who has an infection to avoid the possibility of contracting yeast orally. \n\nAntifungal medicines, including over-the-counter topical creams and oral medications available by prescription, are used to treat yeast infections. To minimize the risk of future infections, pay special attention to genital hygiene, washing the area frequently, especially before and after sex. Wear all-cotton underwear and make sure laundry detergent is rinsed out thoroughly after washing. \n\nIf you have several yeast infections within a year, or if they don't seem to respond to over-the-counter treatments, be sure to tell your doctor, so that more serious problems or other types of infections can be ruled out.

Just from your symptoms listed, I'd say you have a yeast infection. Buy some OTC monistat cream (but not the one day dose......you will have bad cramps) & use as directed...... If it doesn't clear up in a couple of days, go see your gyno to see what it really is. \n\nAlso, if you eat one cup of yogurt every day,  you will prevent further yeast infections.

Funny how two males answered first when you asked them not to.\n\nOK - yeast is only one kind of infection you could get.  Different ones can cause different kinds of discharge, and/or different kinds of smells.  Many of them can cause itching.\n\nI really do think you should see a nurse or doctor about this. \n \nBut until you do:\n- always wipe from front to back so you don't get bacteria from your anal area in your vaginal area\n- wash daily.  Use only the most basic of soap (or none if you might be sensitive).  Washing morning and night is OK too.\n- DO NOT use a douche - if you have unfriendly bacteria it can push it further up inside you and cause infection there\n(for now, I'd avoid using tampons for the same reason)\n- try to wear cotton, not polyester or nylon underwear\n- if using a pantyliner, try for one with a cottony feel, not a plastic-like weave on the covering\n- don't wear jeans or pants that are tight against your crotch  ("Camel toe" is not an attractive look, anyway!  Nobody needs to see your "M".)\n\nAs for your period - you are young, and it's normal to have a period that isn't always regular in the first few years of menstruating.  But if if doesn't come soon, talk to your doctor. \n\nMine came anywhere from 4 -6 weeks apart when I was your age, but by age 18 I once skipped 8 or 9 months (I was a virgin too).  It turned out I had an imbalance of the various hormones that regulate different phases of the cycle.  (This, along with really heavy periods, or really bad cramps, ar some of the reasons that a virgin might be on the pill, to regulate that balance of hormones.)\n\nGood luck, honey.

It's entirely possible that she has a yeast infection... \n\nMany things can cause it, and you can catch it from her, though it's not as likely as her catching it from you (just plain plumbing issues)\n\nYeast infections are very uncomfortable, expecially when extra fluids are being secreted as in sexual contact.  It causes itching and burning sensations.\n\nAs to whether she is telling the truth or not, I cannot say.  But if it's true, then it's a darn good excuse...  look around the bathroom for something called Canesten or any other antifungal creams or suppositories.  (yes I said FUNGAL - sounds nice doesn't it... believe me, if she has it you do not want to go there... be patient with her.. .it'll be gone in a week or so)

i am so sorry! i can't believe they left you there with no phone!!! that can't actually be legal... actually if no one is watching you, i know it's illegal, and i know kids that were taken away for that up to age 15. but anyways. i am so sorry, i an i would help you if i could!\n\nthis is what i suggest: if you can't get to the store and get yeast infection or vaginal cream then there are things you can do at home. plus, you probably don't have any money.\n\nsit in the bathtub, preferably with baking soda in it. this will just help to soothe the pain. unfortunately as soon as you get out of the water the pain and itch will come back but this is what i do when I'm desperate. \n\ni can't actually tell what your problem might be. i would suggest using vaginal cream rather than yeast infection cream, just because I'm not so sure that you are describing a yeast infection.\n\nbest of luck! if you can get to a store, i would talk to the pharmacist and they might more know what you need. good luck!

I'm going to disagree with the other poster and say see your doctor BEFORE you try to self-treat, just to rule out any other problems.  Here's a link that describes yeast infections:\n\nGood Luck!

Wow, I'm sorry to hear this.  Anything I might say is a guess.  It does sound like an infection of some sort.  Maybe it's viral though, which antibiotics won't help.  Some of your symptoms sound like an ear infection.  The low sex drive could be just because you dont' feel good, plus the antidepressants could be causing that too.  The sweaty palms, definitely sounds like you sugar levels, which you said they were fine, but it is only sometimes sweaty, so it could by hypoglycemia.  The tiredness could be from the antidepressant too.  There is something missing here.\nDid he just take a standard test for sugar?  Maybe a test for hypoglycemia.  Hope things get better for you...

I suggest you see a health care specialist. it sounds like you might have something more serious. my mom went through some symptoms like that when she had fibro mengia. which is fatigue, massive times of urinating and pain or dizziness and the blahs. or it could be something as easy as like when i had mono (the kissing disease) i didn't feel like eating all my body wanted was sleep and i couldn't stop myself from falling asleep at weird times and places. but since i am not a doctor it could be something else completely. just go get checked out! wish you all the best!

Hello again there!  Sorry to hear about how you feel.  I also have CFS or abstein bar.  I'm a bit of a pro at it, the difference with me is that I am a new person after my treatment. CFS starts out as Mononucleosis (MONO) the virus which if untreated turns to CFS, so that's why my doctor treats it with Valtrex.  Depression and anxiety come with CFS which also causes joint and muscle soreness, that's where the antidepressants come in.  As far as the fybromyalgia the only thing I know for it is pain management and that is something I don't dare explain because I have no personal experience but from my mother having it I know it's not easy to treat. Listen, if your doctor disagrees with the treatment that I just described to you as far as the CFS then you need to find someone who is more open to your health solutions. I love my doctor, he's so wonderful that my trust in him is unmentionable. I know it's scary to try someone new, but you need to feel better.  Wouldn't you like to feel normal again?  Be able to get up when you wake up and go.  Not fall asleep at the wheel.  You get my point.  I'm a new person and I have a new baby.  Believe me it feels good to be awake and the weight of the world is now a lot more manageable.  By the way drinking makes it worse, a lot worse!  So if you do, you need to take a break until you're all better.  Believe me it didn't help me any, I thank GOD for today. Chat with you later   I hope this info helps u a little bit. By the way if you're having trouble with a day at a time, try an hour at a  time.  Sounds like you're under a lot of stress and that makes the CFS worse all of the time.  Help is on the way,  you'll be alright. My doctor always reassured me that I'd be o.k., he is very involved with his patients and that's why everyone loves and trusts him so much
