Yeast/fungi problems, anyone?

[jimandothers]

Is anyone here suffering from yeast infections due to their immunodeficiencies?

If yes, I have a very specific question for you: Does your problems increase on rainy days/ in humid climate?

Thanks, Jim

I don't know if my yeast infections are related to my CVID specifically, but yeast will grow in warm/moist climates. I live in southern California so I don't have to worry too much about it. When I lived in Georgia and it was wet and humid, I did tend to have more issues with this type of thing. I was told to sleep without clothing to help it dry out and to always wear cotton and to use cotton sheets. Otherwise, I avoid them by doing the normal things that they tell women to do which you can find online. Also, I find that my diet greatly contributes to the development of one so I try to avoid sugar and eat a balanced diet. And, I was told to take a probiotic daily. I've not had one in a long time at this point so it seemed to work.

BTW, you can pass it back and forth with a sexual partner.

Just a few threads down on this board is a topic I started at Christmas when I got severe oral thrush and a chest infection at the same time. I was feeling very sorry for myself and titled the thread "The other Boss needs a hug please!" I learned lots from the replies I got...have a look through it!
