A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Help! What is on Maddie's face!!?!?!?

Good for you for protecting your family from sun damage, Jenn!

My dad passed away at age 40 in 1968 from malignant melanoma, the vicious type of skin cancer caused by sun exposure. My whole family has been on guard ever since and we have always been exceptionally careful with our children as well.

We are never on the beach from noon to 3 and even when we are there at other times, we are heavy with the sun block and use cover-ups as well as hats, sunglasses and Maxi owns a portable cabana and beach umbrellas too.

I felt the same way, but after talking to the ped I decided to go ahead and get the vaccine for my two kidos. If I'm remembering correctly, it seems like the ped said the vaccine also kept them from getting as seriously sick from some of the other sicknesses? that was several years ago, though?

and I thought you were supposed to EAT the yogurt to counter act the yeast thing?

cricket, applying yogurt can help also. Some women put yogurt in their you know whats when they have a yeast infection (if they catch it right away) ans swear it makes it go away. theory is that the good yeast over powers the bad yeast.

Some people have sensitive skin no matter what you do. It's good that the spots didn't seem to bother her.

I have a friend who has ask her ped to order a different type of vaccine in that it's made up differently. It has to be ordered and they will have to pay for it. School vaccines at the Health Department are free. Your doctor probably charges you an administration fee. If you decide to get them I say go to your Health Department for the same vaccine at no charge.

Maddie fell under our state's loop hole for preterm babies. We don't pay any medical bills for her right now. Then because we didn't have insurance when I was pregnant with Luke, I was able to get the state insurance and he is covered for the first year. So, I don't pay anything for either of them right now. :)

it's the yogurt with acidophilus that will help. It has to have the acidophilus. You can also chew the tablets. If you're ever on an antibiotic for an infection of any kind I advise that you get the pills so you won't get a yeast infection.

Jocylyn are you referring to shingles? Statistically a lot of people commit suicide after have shingles because of the after pain. When I worked at the pain center we treated many people for the after pain of shingles called herpetic pain.

Amoxicillian is the WORST for that!!! When I was pregnant and had a sinus infection, that is the only thing they could give me because I'm allergic to the x-pak. I also asked for the yeast infection meds to take as soon as I was done with the Amox. because I knew I'd end up with the yeast infection. Sooo glad I asked for that 2nd medicine!

ETA: there are other names for the acidophilus..I learned that somewhere, but can't remember where.

some people NEVER have a yeast problem no matter what kind of medicine they take. True.

I'm 56 and I have had problems one time----

i get yeast problems but almost never from meds. and haven't in over 20 years (knock on wood)
