believe ME this thrush IS contagious! I got it from Ron...and after my first course of Nystatin ended last week...it's still not cleared up,it's just about there...but not and now after reading about what Diflucan does to your kidneys and liver and today Ron tells me when he was on it his feet swelled up...kinda worried him a bit seeing when he had his Non Hodgkins Lymphoma that his feet swelled up...but he said when he was done they went down to normal, ya he didn't say one word to me either til today when I am at work...men! So I wouldn't want that stuff I may end up calling the doc again and getting more Nystatin I guess. Unless you all really think just by using the salt water and soda can clear up this little bit. And also Ron bought plastic utensils he uses them now instead of my silver ware. I got to get my darn dishwasher fixed...keep forgetting. But he did get that Magic Mouthwash, his has 4 things in in I thought there were only 3.
