As I am a chronic heart and type 2 diabetes patient, I have to cope with reduced immunity and increased susceptibility to yeast infections in sensitive areas, such as in skin folds, genital area. Extensive preventative hygiene helps quite considerably but nevertheless I still suffer from a recurrences, indicated with redness, spots and painful itching. Aciclovir was prescribed for severe attacks, but the side effects are much worse: very bad fluid retention in both legs and feet, and very painful as well. As a chronic heart patient, I suffer enormously with any exertion, leaving me breathless. No appetite, higher blood pressure and heart rate, sometimes almost doubling (from 52 to 98). Inexplicable stress and anxiety.
