An open letter...

Dear yeast infection,

Hello. I understand that you are just one of those little unpleasant things that decides to show up every now and then, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't come during my "time of the month." Not only am I bloated, pasty, highly irritable and crampy, but I also have to deal with all of the things that come with a visit from you.

While I would rather never have a visit from you ever again, I realize that you are going to be a lot like my dad's college buddy that came and slept on the couch when I was a baby. I would throw toys at him from my playpen and he insisted on laying there, snoring and drooling. Much like him, you are going to sit there until I throw various things at you...thank you Diflucan, but that is another letter for another time.

Anyway, please just see that next time you decide to come, schedule an appointment and ask me if it is a good time.

Thank you.
