Im sure I have oral thursh, I have a dr phoning me tomorrow but I went to 2 pharmacies and both mentioned thrush so I bought some oral gel.
My anxiety isn't coping well, so googled it. now it seems to be a common of diabetes, I am obese. but I don't have any other signs, my tongue is white, and I have loose skin at the sides like ive been biting my tongue..
Im not thirsty, I am drinking more as I have a weird 'feeling' in my mouth. but its not dry or painful, and I don't feel like I have to drink. . im not urinating any more than usual (I don't wake up at all when im asleep, once im gone im gone) I do have more mucus in my mouth though lately, but don't think I have cold.
No weird weight loss/gain..
Due to lock down my anxiety/mood has been all over so dental hasn't been a priority (im working on that now), which I believe could be the problem, but I cant convince myself of this.
I do have cavities, I was meant to have fillings but we went into lock down. So have occasional pain in my tooth but nothing major.
I wear glasses, and beginning of this year I had to go to hospital as they found something in my eye when they scanned me. She asked me questions (nothing diabetic related, I dot think. she asked me if I had headache and I never do. my eyesight also wasn't a drastic change as I was told by multiple staff that I didn't even really need a new prescription, this was 3 years after my first eye test) and gave me the all clear. I know eye tests can pick up on diabetes so assumed if it was a chance I would of been asked.
Im drinking more alcohol than I usually would. not much more than usual though. but im not sure if that could be a cause too so just listing everything possible.
Im just worried, I know I shouldn't google. but I cant help myself. im a wreck. im really hoping someone can help.
Also im not prone to thrust, I had vaginal thrush once when I was pregnant with my daughter over 6 years ago.
thank you
