Hello all. Happy new year. Hope the Christmas period has been relaxing and joyous. I thjnk i have over done fhe sugar, normally on the best bet diet, but some chocolates, alcohol and other such things have leapt in to mg diet. Resulting in probable thrush. Now i know if you have a suspected uti they say go and see gp as it can cause a relapse is this the same for thrush? I got over the counter creams. Is that all gp would perscribe? also is cystitis the same as uti or something different ( if any one happens to know)
Thank you people and happy 2015
Happy New Year! I’d see my GP if I was you, he may prescribe you antibiotics to clear things quickly. A uti, thrush or cystitis can all affect your MS, so better to get them cleared up quickly.

i agree with rosina
see your gp at once! or as soon as possible.
UTIs definitely cause relapses.

I have always been a slave to thrush - getting it several times a year. My GP told me that “some women are just prone to it” and “not to worry as it won’t cause a relapse”.
I can’t get the Canestan pessaries on prescription any more (the NHS won’t provide then), but I have been prescribed oral Fluconazole capsules which keeps it at bay for several months.
I don’t think antibiotics will help as its a fungal infection, not bacterial or viral.
Just one more thing we have to put up with!
