Yeast Infections vs. Candidal Infections

I have suffered for the last three years with yeast infections or what I thought was a yeast infection. After reading and studying and many trips to the doctor's office, I have finally found some relief or at the very least a way to live without all of the symptoms accompanying this dreaded embarrassing crap. I will not go into the symptoms that go along with this stuff but I will tell you I had a yeast infection without any drainage and probably 90 percent of all of the other symptoms accompanying this type of infection, only later to find out that it is a Candidal Infection. This is probably the most embarrassing thing I have every written, to admit to having this infection but after ready countless blogs, many studies and many cures (that don't work) and thousands of women and men suffering I decided to come clean and tell all of you that are suffering. I have read that studies indicate that 85% of the population are suffering from the same thing with no relief insight.

My doctor was studying for her boards and come across a very interesting study that involved me and my problem. You see, even doctors are baffled at this point in time but she contacted me and ask If I would be interested in participating in this study. This is plain and to the point so pay attention. She started me on one tablet daily of Fluconazole 100MG (Diflucan) for 14 days. Immediately after the 14 days, I started 200MG of Fluconazole for 6 months (1 tablet a week).

Now I do not know if this is a cure or what will happen afterwards or even if I will have a build up of antibiotics but for me.....I am symptom FREE for the last 3 months. No pain, no itching or swelling etc. I am only telling you what is working for me and this has made me live a normal life again.

If you would like more information...please contact me and I will get you more info on how I am progressing.

Silent Auction

Dear Friends and Family,

It has been sometime since I have posted on this site but have now decided to use it for a different reason. Bob and I are contemplating moving off of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We are presently looking for a one story home, probably in Ohio, although have not ruled out Arizona or one of the Carolina's. These are plans that we will attempt due to the inability of handling such a large home and keeping the grounds up, not to mention the maintenance.
In order to accomplish this....we must start getting rid of the many collectibles that plague us along with Sylvia, the housekeeper trying to keep it all dusted down.

Each week I will post items for silent auction with a starting bid. If you wish to bid you may contact me by email with your bid. Please be sure to include you snail mail address and phone number. If I know you personally or are a family member, a check is acceptable, however...if you are a friend of a friend a certified or cashier's check will be good. If you have questions, kindly contact me by email or phone.

Happy New Year to Each and Everyone

Here's hoping that the New Year will bring a better economy, Good Health to all, and hopefully WEALTH for everyone. Oh...and less taxes!

White Christmas

With all of the time that we have spent in Cambridge, MD, this is the very first white Christmas. It was so beautiful and of course we were able to share it with the kids. Bill and Jodi cooked Christmas dinner, Turkey, Ham and Pork with all the trimmings. We ate like pigs for 3 days. Bill's dressing was out of sight...I did see him adding some sage sausage to it but it was just heavenly!

Halloween

This is my favorite time of year, all the leaves are changing and mother nature is letting us know that we should get the coats out, wood for the fire place, and stock the pantry with lots of things that make our bodies warm when it is cold outside. Just taking this time to wish you all a happy Halloween. Stay Warm, Stay Safe and above all Stay Fat and Sassy!

Flat Dumplings

Chicken and Dumplings, oh my! Just prepare you recipe as you normally would but try this dumpling recipe. They are terrific and Bob ate 4 bowls!

2 Cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tblsp of Butter (not margarine)
1/2 cup whole milk
1 egg

Mix flour, salt, egg, butter and milk in a stand mixer. Mix until a ball forms. Form your dumplings by rolling out the dough to about 1/8 inch on a floured cutting board. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut your dough into bite size pieces.
Bring the chicken broth to a boil. Drop dumplings into boiling broth, ensuring they submerge completely. Add all of your dumplings . You can keep them from sticking together by adding butter and dunk dumplings one at a time. Reduce heat to a medium-low temperature and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Add chicken back to broth, reheat and serve.

These are absolutely delicious and beat the heck out of using Bisquick!
