About a year and a half ago my ability to taste foods got fucked up somehow. I have no idea how. Over the past 18 months sometimes I could not taste anything. Sometimes I could only taste somethings. Sometimes stuff had a funny after taste or over taste. White bread smelled funny and so tasted funny. And lots of other stuff did too.

A few months ago, I noticed that the problem was going away. And now it is just about nearly gone. White bread does not smell like it used to but it's not odious and I can enjoy a sandwich with it again.

Very very strange.

And then there's the itchy boobs. I get these patches on my boobs - usually, gratefully, only a small patch at a time, that just itches like crazy. Sometimes I get bigger patches or a bunch of them on one boob or the other - rarely both at the same time. The itching lasts about a month and then it gradually fades. I'm about a week away from the first of the fade of a small patch.

Very very strange.

But, at least so far, not very fatal.

Are the boob itches a yeast infection? I have gotten those before and it's not cool.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. I tend to get them under my boobs. Tea tree oil clears it up quickly - worked for my mom, idajo, also. If the area is raw or you've scratched it the stuff can burn but it does work.

Doh! I wrote about this a couple of years ago and someone said yeast infection and I used a topical crotch cream and it worked some and then I totally forgot about it!

Tea tree oil? Ok! I learned the first time to never ever scratch no matter what - owwwie!

Anyway... thanks!! Man, I love LJ.

not very fatal... hopefully not even kinda-sorta fatal!
