   Hello how are you? I hope you are doing OK? We had a heavy thunder storm here in Florida, it was great~! I have been waiting for it to wash out all these stupid tree pollens, we have not had rain for so long~! besides Thunder Storm is my favorite weather. What is your favorite weather ?

   I have been told that I got a Yeast Infection in my stomach, probably due to all the medicine including Antibiotic I was taking back in Feb. I am seeing a Natural Mediine Therapist (Chiropractor), and he has given me some Natural pills for me to take. He told me it would take a long time to cure it. If you went to a conventional doctor, what is the typical medicine you will be given, and does it CURE it fast? What are the Typical Symptom of Yeast Infection in the intestine? I am a male by the way, I always thought woman gets these in her private area.....Sorry for the ignorance.

3. QUESTION:
   Different ways to treat PCOS, and getting pregnant and possibility's of it resulting from Candida Yeast?
   OK, I have had PCOS for at least 3 - 5 years. I am trying everything I can to get better/pregnant. I have changed my lifestyle around the ways I eat, sleep, exercise, and have sex. I have consulted with almost 10 doctors, OB-GYN's, and everything else imaginable. I have tried medications (Clomid, Metformin, etc.), Vitamins, and nothing seems to work.

   I have done hours and hours of research, and I have pretty much gone to the limits to try and get rid of my PCOS. If there are any great tips out there that have personally worked for you, I am willing to try to get rid of this. My periods are semi-irregular. I get them about every 35-45 days, and fortunately have been since November of last year, which is new for me. I did miss march, but it was weird how it worked out.

   After hours of research, I also found this:
   "Candida is a fungus that is found in the body in benign amounts, but when given the correct circumstances, grows uncontrolled throughout the body. It most commonly resides in the small intestine, but it often runs from the sinuses down to the groin.

   Candida is known for causing, or being a part of, reproductive organ problems, such as yeast infections, endometriosis, PCOS, impotence, and fertility problems. Other symptoms may be difficult to pinpoint. The most obvious is yeast infections, especially chronic yeast infections. It can also cause depression, gastrointestinal problems, allergies, and a variety of other symptoms. Candida makes a person crave sweets, grains, and cheese and makes you eat when you're not hungry and/or more than you need. It can lead someone to become overweight.

   A candida yeast overgrowth is caused by eating too many foods that feed the fungus, such as the foods mentioned above. However, most people get it from taking oral antibiotics, which end up killing all the bacteria in the body, including the good bacteria which keeps the normal levels of candida benign, allowing the fungus to grow to massive amounts."

   Now if this is true, this is very possible for me! I am CONSTANTLY craving sweets/chocolates, and when I first found about that I had PCOS, I had chronic yeast infections, and in about 2 years I had about 10-15 of them. And since then, I get about 1 or 2 a year.

   Is this a possibility for me? How do I get checked? What are some treatment methods (Vitamins, Home remedy's, prescriptions, etc.)? And will my PCOS go away by treating the Candida, and if so, will I need a scan again/how will I know? Can anyone else testify to this Candida Yeast issue, and what worked for you?

   Thanks for your time.

4. QUESTION:
   For those involved on both sides of adoption please!?
   I've read many Q's &A's on YA and I've been quite nervous to ask opinions, as I do not want to be "bashed" for being involved in an adoption. I've been raising this child for almost 4 years, he was placed with me temporarily. This was a custody case gone bad between 2 parents, both parents were not fit to raise this child, and both needed to work towards their goal, having shared custody. This child had been living with the mother solely at the time of court. The child was incredibly ill, had mass yeast infections in his intestines, and no medical attention for them. He was abused and neglicted, but I don't believe she did it on purpose, I believe she didn't have the skills and was self centered and very young. He has been in play therapy since he has been with me, and is progessing. His ptsd is slowly showing less symptoms, and he is now healthfully attached to me and our family. I was only supposed to have him for a year, the mother moved to a different state 2X within 2 years, missed over 180 hours of supervised vistation, and after 4 years has still not completed any of the courts requirements. The father has cleaned up his act, and kept regular monthly visitation, but does not want to have sole custody of this child. I've recently learned about a new conviction that the mother has received regarding a DV against her new husband. She has not seen the child for over a year, by her own choices. I am persuing adoption now, as I truly think that is what is best for this child. I am his mommy now, because his natural mother has made choices that has kept herself out of his life. I have met with her and spoken with her regarding my concerns, and she continues to pressure me to give her visitation even though it is not ordered. I have not done so, because I feel she is unsafe and not consistent for this child. She is contesting the adoption, and states that this is her "kid" and she wants him back now, but she still refuses to do any court requirements to gain visitation first. I've cried nights and nights wondering what to do, I've met with her over and over and over again, and she doesn't seem to care about the child or the child's needs of stability and love. Its all about her. I am going to persue the adoption, but I wish there was a way to get on the same page as her. I really wanted to help her, and help her become a great mom over 4 years ago, but she refused help and moved over 3000 miles away from the child. She came back and wants him back. My heart is broken for her, but my "mother bear" instincts are up for this child.
   What would you do?
   What would you say to her?
   Do you have any ideas of how I can communicate to her these issues in a way she will understand?

   Thanks for your time,
   Sam B.
   Schannon A: Thank you so very much, i truly appreciate the support.
   Sizesmith: I have had her to my home, and her entire family, even cooked them dinner! Thank you for all your advice, I really appreciate it!
   Indepent: Your answer is exactly why I've been not wanting to ask for other's opinions. She has had over 4 years of "chances" she has chose not to be in this child's life. I cannot help someone who will not take action themselves. If I was in her shoes, not one day would have gone by without this child in my life. I do value your opinion, but your undermining tone was not appreciated.
   Chiyo5 thank you very much, it was nice to hear from an adoptee, I've been very concerned in my child's reaction when they grow up.
   Darkangel210e: thank you thank you thank you, no really, thank you!
   JenniferL: you really don't know how much I needed to hear that! My ONLY concern is for this child, you've only confirmed my thoughts, thank you for your honesty.
   Maureen S: WOW your information is vital for this child and me. I've written down quite a lot, but I will be more dilligent now for sure. Thank you for your encouragement and support. And I will take your advice regarding the conversation with the mother.
   Lori A: to the point, thanks!

   • ANSWER:
     I am tearing up a bit reading through this situation. I am adopted and probably was the best thing that ever happened to me. (Taking a stand point from a college student) My issues were sort of the same except a bit worse. I really believe you should fight for this child, more than anything. I am sure you have thought about what the child's life would be like everyday if you were to give up this child to his mother...I believe you deserve and were meant to care for this child. I am now in college and was adopted when I was 10 by my mothers adopted aunt. My aunt fought for 4 years for me while my father had simply left and my mother was a drug addict It was difficult, but your child will be better off and your child WILL appreciate. Best of luck to you. Thank you for helping us children out there who are put in unfortunate situations.

5. QUESTION:
   Male yeast infection?
   Well I'm coming to a fork in the road here. I have been feeling a lot of symptoms for quite sometime. I am a 18year old male and around July of 08 I had unprotected sex with a regret.

   Needless to say a month later the burning when peeing starts and stays for quite sometime. I was thinking uti at the time and I never really took any kind of anti biotics or anything to fight it off. Later I start to acquire the fatigueness...My mentality feels..different..like..in the clouds kind of..My memory is way less than it was before. I do smoke marijuana but mainly for the pains. Everyday I have groin/abdomen pain and my urine is cloudy and nearly always a darkish yellow.

   Also along the course idk if its ibs or what but one night I randomly felt my intestines like spasming. Ever since then my stomach has been more sensitive. Yes I know I need to see the doctor but I am looking to limit it to one thing so I can get that checked out first. Also do my symptoms sound like anything lethal? I have had "it" since july as stated above. Thanks all for the info in advance and let's not say how stupid I am/was. I just want to not die from this heh.
