I seem to be getting recurrent thrush infections every month. Even had it orally too. Also, increasingly suffering from bloating & gas.

I can also feel a dragging or heavy sensation where my uterus is & seem to be bruising more easily.

I sometimes feel dizzy & like I'm about to faint - this isn't regular but it's happening monthly.

For the record, I'm 45, so I'm aware that some of this could be hormonal. I've never suffered with digestive issues much before & the thrush thing is highly unusual for me.

I'm finding myself considering candida but I'm a bit suspicious of some of my internet searches, as in trusting the sources of information on there.

Has anyone suffered with anything similar?

Could you possibly be diabetic? I'd say go to your gp to get blood work. Too much sugar in your blood can cause thrush infections.

Does that not present with other symptoms?

I think I'll book an appointment & get checked out....

I second diabetes,go to Lloyds pharmacy, they will do an initial screening and tell you wether you need a proper test or not.
