This is why there are multiple way to skin Katz. I usually use Diflucan, which in my experience is just as fast as Nystatin. My comments were not related to your doctor’s choice of medication, which in fact was appropriate. It was directed to his comment that Nystatin was faster. That’s all…

The thing is, he’s my doctor. You are not.

For the record, I noticed a distinct improvement after only two doses of the Nystatin. Large patches of healthy red showed through the yucky brown stuff covering my tongue. It is nearly all gone, and the Nystatin isn’t really as bad as I say.

Meryl,

I would never disagree with someone else’s physician. Even when they are making bizarre statements about Nystatin working faster than Diflucan. Even when I would beat my medical students about the head and neck for saying something like that. I would never be so unprofessional as to do that…

That’s what I asked my doctor. He said no, the Nystatin will work faster.

Think I’ll ask him if I should do both at the same time.

A day or two of Diflucan [flavorless pill] is worth a week of 4x/day nasty Nystatin [my best guess as to what they have you on].

Wishing you health and happiness…

I have been down for 8 weeks with some mysterious virus. Can barely think or read a page — and writing anything of real value is impossible. I get paid to think. I believe I am coming through it now, but it’s been a hell of an 8 weeks.

I will save the “it could be worse”s and “I know how you feel”s and just say–get well.

I loved The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Now Ilya Kuryakin is on NCIS, and Napoleon Solo is shilling for a law firm in the Richmond area. I see his commercials on all the soaps.

Oh, well. Money’s money. The funny thing is that now William Shatner is shilling for that same firm. It’s like they don’t care that Denny Crane is a nutjob.

T.H.R.U.S.H. was the villain in Man From U.N.C.L.E – Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity

Maybe they are the ones who developed that bacteria (:-)
