First of all, I would like to point out that I am always right and you all come around to my way of thinking eventually and then give me absolutely no credit. You know who you are.

What, you ask, brings you back to your blog today, Sarah? What indeed... My favorite subject, of course. My yeasties and my fervent hope that they all die soon! Anyway, I went to a new doctor because my yeasties are so cute that I had to share the wealth with other doctors... Or, erm, I think that 6 months is a good lifespan for yeasties and want them dead dead dead! Anyway, I told the new doctor the yeastie saga. This rather sympathetic doctor (a change, both the sympathy and the doctor part (the others were nurse practioners..)) commented that I had tried all the usual drugs. I mentioned that word that doctors love to hear (the "Internet") and said I read about anti-fungal drugs that are prescribed to people dying of AIDS... So, she prescribed me some! Just kidding. She looked at me weird and said that those are awfully hard on the liver. Maybe it is best to conserve the liver if you are expected to live on after treatment... I don't know. The good part of the visit is that she prescribed a new drug and one of the old drugs (Terazol, which is supposedly the best yeastie drug out there...) The new one is just an antibiotic. Those are really supposed to cause yeasties, buy hey, I am not that picky. All I want is something that has not yet been tried.

In other dread disease news, my mother does not have hepatitis. She stuck a needle into a person with hepatisis and then stuck it into herself. This sounds rather exotic, but really it wasn't since she is a nurse. She was naturally fearful that she had contracted the disease, but I pointed out that she probably doesn't have anymore than 10 or 15 years left either way. She did not find this very comforting... What is that movie in which someone shouts, "Do you want to live forever?!" Apparently so. And she her optimist is unaffected by the relatively short lives of her immediate family. With those genes, I am planning on struggling on to maybe 62, with some luck... She insists that the true longevity of her family has been obscured by early deaths from smoking related disease... Well, that would be an argument in favor of her long life...if she hadn't smoked.
