Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hello to all. I just had to respond to the rash and monistat cream usage. I use to work as a pharmacy tech. and the monistat cream will work for yeast infections in unusual areas. I have even used it on my kids when they had a diaper rash when i did not have any diaper rash cream. (Diaper rashes are mostly yeast infections anyway. Thrush in the mouth is nothing but a yeast infection as well, they just call it thrush, afterall, saying you have a yeast infection in your mouth is very disgusting especially when " having a yeast infection " is referred to that " other area " .) You could even try diaper rash cream. Unless its gotten to bad. Then you may need something stronger, such as the monistat or an Rx. To all that asked about my blood test results. I called the doctor's office today and it will be Monday before I get them. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I hope I did not offend anyone with my 2 cents. If so, I do apologize. I did not mean too. Thanks to all for you support. I think this group is a GREAT bunch of people! If anyone needs someone to talk to or just someone to listen when they need to let off steam just email me. I started to cry when I read all the support. Thanks again to all of you.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 My daughter spent a few years in Louisiana while her DH was stationed there. She discovered a great diaper and every other kind of rash cream. The name, I kid you not, is Boudreaux's Butt Paste. You can find it in some WalMarts. http://www.happybabyproducts.com/boudbutpas.html This stuff is fantastic!

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi Anita, I just want to welcome you to the group. You are definitely not alone. When you have any kind of major illness that requires you to deal with doctors extensively you learn that some are thorough and some are not. Some are caring and some are not. Some really know their stuff and some cheated their way through medical school...probably. I am on this list because my dear husband has a new diagnosis of RA, but I have MS. One time I went to a doctor when I was so in pain I could hardly stand it and having so much trouble walking that I borrowed a walking stick. The doctor accused me of being there just so I could get pain medication and sent me away untreated. I did want medication, not because I'm a " druggie, " but because I needed help to keep functioning. I needed relief from pain, if there was such a thing. Some doctors are having a bad day and some have nothing but bad days. Sometimes it's best to find another doctor, if you can. This RA group encouraged me to call the rheumatologist and see if there were any cancellations so that we could get to see him earlier. As a result, I found the rheumatologist has a cancellation list that you get on, so they will call you if they have one. From your introduction, I wasn't sure if your ortho doctor recommended you to see a rheumatologist or not. What about your family doctor? The sooner you get dx'd the sooner you can start getting some relief--we hope. Hugs and prayers from another Anita, Nita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Oh Jacy, I would have missed hearing about this wonderful product if I hadn't been on this list! LOL! I'm really going to look at Walmart here and see if they carry it, but what an unusual name!?? :0) Thanks, Nita --- In Rheumatoid Arthritis , " Jacy " <jacymail@c...> wrote: > My daughter spent a few years in Louisiana while her DH was stationed there. > She discovered a great diaper and every other kind of rash cream.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 It is a funny name, but I promise you it is the best I have ever used for anything like this. My foster son is in the Navy and he has my daughter send it to him wherever he is because he can't always find it wherever...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hello another Anita, There aren't many of us out there. It's nice when I do meet someone else with the same name as myself. I know exactly about doctors not giving pain med's. I have migraine headaches very bad at times and once with my old family physician, I had a terrible migraine over the weekend and had to call the after hours #. I did not ask for pain med's, I asked if he could call me in something, anything, a migraine med. to get rid of it. I did not have the money to go to the ER just to get a shot. Although, I know it works when I have to go, but I do not like having to go to the ER everytime I have one after hours. That place is VERY expensive! Because of all the " pill head druggies " , the people that really need the stuff can't get it. And that makes me very angry! But yet, the " druggies " can still get it from the streets and even some from the doctors as well. And us decent folks are the ones that have to suffer. When I did have a pain med Rx, my mother-in-law use to ask me for some of my pills (to use for the wrong reasons) and I would flat out tell her " no " and " why " I would tell her no. With controlled narcotics you can only get so many refills and you CANNOT get them refilled before the days of that script runs out. My ortho. dr. did not say anything about a Rheumatoligist. He may be waiting for the results before he does. I thought an ortho. dr. could treat for RA, because it eventually gets in the bones. I went to the ortho dr. first because I thought my pain was from bone spurs (which I do have on my ankles and shoulders. and thought maybe that's what was on my wrists as well.) As for my family physician, I have not even said anything to him yet. I am going to wait and see what the ortho dr. says after my results and then I am going to talk to my PCP. Oh,yeah, I want you to know you and your husband are in my thoughs and prayers. I hope both of you have some great doctors and you have the right med's for you and if not already then you will very soon. If I can be of help or just here for support please email anytime at coolcat1022@... Thanks for the support you have given me and I hope I can return the same for you and your husband. Take care of yourselves and hope to talk to you later. From one Anita to another, Anita M. > Hi Anita, > > I just want to welcome you to the group. You are definitely not > alone.
