Hey guys. Just wondering if there is any link between MS and thrash? It’s not a problem I’ve had more than a couple of times before but over the last year I seem to be getting it more and more often to the point where it’s now every few weeks ☹ Kaz xxx

Hi Kaz,

I know your chances of getting it are higher for those with weakened immune systems and also the use of steroids and antibiotics all can cause thrush. I remember around the time of my first relapse i suffered thrush twice in 3 months - first time ever, never had it since though.

If it’s recurring regularly speak to your GP, they might be able to perscribe you something stronger than the over-the-counter meds.

Hope it eases for you soon. Laura x
