About 2 weeks ago, I had an upper respiratory infection and had to go on antibiotics and steroids. While the meds made my infection go away and make me feel better, they left me with oral thrush. Sounds sexy, right? Now this is going to sound way worse than it is, but pretty much it's a yeast infection in your mouth. My tongue felt like it did right after chemo. It was coated and felt like I burned it. I took an anti-fungal med and it cleared it up. Part of the problem is that my immune system is still not 100% back to normal. Not a big deal. For a few days I didn't know what it was and just dealt the the discomfort, but now I'm back on track folks and ready to eat spicy meatballs.
**update** I tricked everyone. The thrush didn't go away like I thought. It came back and now I am on meds for a week. Ah the joys of a weak immune system.
