About Me
I’m Sally Thorpe and I thought you may like to know a little about me and why I created this blog.
I am a 42 year old married woman in good health and an optimistic outlook. I have no children or pets which suits our lifestyle as we (the hubby and I) enjoy an independent lifestyle and are able to get out and about when we want to. However it wasn’t always like that. Some 7 years ago I had what I thought was a simple yeast infection or a “touch of thrush” as we referred to it then and went about treating it as most women probably do. I applied the cream and took the tablet and after a couple of days I was fine, until about three weeks later when the problem recurred.
To cut a long story short this was the start of a yeast infection problem that kept on coming back and which over the years left me allergic to certain foods, dry skin and weepy eyes. My life became a nightmare, I couldn’t go out to eat as I was afraid of what was in the food, I felt alone (I wasn’t married then), I was irritable and in a word depressed to the point of feeling suicidal. I decided to check out everything I could about yeast infections and their causes and eventually found a treatment that worked for me. Having gone through the heartache and disappointment I finally found what worked and have been problem free now for the last 12 months and live a normal happy life.
During my searching I came to realise that it was no good treating the symptoms but that you must stop it at its root cause and for that, drugs and medicine simply wouldn’t work. I also came to realise that there are thousands of women out there suffering just as I did and like me probably thought that they just had to put up with it. Well I found out that you don’t and decided to set up this blog to let others know as well.
I hope it helps
Sally
