There is a fungus among us...

The doctor's verdict: and fungal rash. Does that not sound disgusting??? Basically, when I had the heat rash under my ta-tas it was a fungal infection -aka a yeast infection!!!! Yeast likes to hang out in dark moist places and I guess under my girls was the perfect place!!

For whatever reason the fungi (I think that's right...or at least how I remember it from high school) got the idea to set up house all over my skin!!! So he prescribed me some steroids (I'm going to PUMP you up!!!) and a pill that is used to treat the OTHER yeast infection. I have to wait 5 days and if it clears up I'm gtg. If not, then it's back to the doctor I go!!!

I am hoping the meds do their job and stop the itch because I really want to start Couch to 5k this week!!! (Has anyone else tried it?? One of my fb friends is currently doing it and I thought I would give it a try.) I really need to up my exercise and I thought that it was worth a shot!!! I will be picking up my bowflex this week and I am super excited about it!!! Not only do I NOT want batwings but I was some seriously cut arms!!!

So, I'm off to try and NOT scratch all my skin off...wish me luck!!!

  1. I have the couch to 5K on my iphone but have yet to try it. Some of the girls I work with have done it and one just after having a baby and she says I would be able to do it and is super easy.....not so sure yet, but I know I will give it a try just not sure when. Thanks for following.....

  3. oh bummer about the fungal rash. I've heard of yeast infections in different body parts, I bet your medicine will clear it right up!

    I haven't tried couch to 5k but I really would like too.

  4. Oh no, I hate those fungal infections, my boys get 'em sometimes. They're nasty. :(

    I think C25K is a great idea, I say go for it. If you like it, I might even try it!

  7. Hi Jessica! Glad you stopped by my blog!! I also had that rash. I used Lotrimin Spray for jock itch (yes, jock itch!) and it worked!! It stings really bad but give it a try. Within 2 days you will have much relief!!

  8. I had the same thing a couple years ago! The yeast infection cream clears it right up. I actually get it periodically and now just buy some vagisil and take care of it myself. TMI?

    Subject change: I tried the Couch to 5k program and like it for the first few weeks. After that, it was just to regimented for me and I kind of did my own thing but it was really helpful in getting me started and I ran my first 5k in April so it worked! Good luck!
