Don't flounce unless you are properly dressed.😱

How infuriating! I hope whatever you eventually got will work PDQ!

Good for you Sago BTW what age did you give second time around?

Oh Sago - that made me laugh - your clothes - I once went out with my skirt tucked in my knickers 😂

And check your thread title at the same time? 🤣🤣🤣

That made me laugh! Well done for flouncing though 😁

🤣🤣🤣 Oh dear! Nothing like being in a towering rage, then ending up with egg on your face.
(BTW I normally say I’m buying the Canestan for my 40 year old daughter…)

Hilarious 🤣 Good for you!

My husband gets mine on occasion. For his 53 year old wife. Cough cough

I always have an unopened pack at home, boots deliver it to me or good old Amazon

I buy the generic version, clotrimazole half the price of canasten and tell them it’s for under the boobs. 😜

I’m 58 for one day only!

The canasten has worked immediately!

Worth knowing that thrush if left can become candida sepsis, this can attack your heart and lungs and eventually kill.

Canastan creams and pessaries are stocked on the normal shelves in my local Sainsbury's, shelves don't ask your age 😀

Sago I don't blame you for flouncing out - there are too many "jobsworths" about now, and too many daft rules. I hope the treatment works soon, Thrush is horrible (I used to get it all the time when I was on The Pill before the kids were born). Funny about your clothes

The flouncing improperly dressed made me laugh but thrush is no laughing matter. Glad good old Canesten worked for you.

Sago,- OP of the week prize for you. You can wear the gransnet flouncing frock next time.

I had several pairs of slip on shoes in various colours. Once went to work with one black and one navy.

Hope your down below is getting better.😉

My “down below” is far more comfortable thank you!😉

I have had mismatched shoes, inside out clothes, display of rear end etc. When my son was between 2 and 3, we went to the restroom in a department store. Afterward he told me several times that people were looking at me. I didn't pay much attention. Rejoining my friend and her same-age daughter I learned my wool dress was tucked into my panty hose. My friend and I fell all about laughing our heads off while the kids regarded us as solemnly as little judges! My son finally said 'I told you!'

Is thrush the same (down under) as 'a yeast infection'?

Yes.

That is so funny and I bet the more angry you got the more itchy you got!

Why is there an age limit?

Must be a reason, I assume.

The fact that the pharmacy assistant just shrugged would have really annoyed me too.
I am also curious about the age limit that pharmacists can treat - perhaps some GNetter might have some insight to share.

When I worked in pharmacies for many years Boots in included, it is because the symptoms can be for those of diabetes, same with treatments for cystitis,we always had to check,but we all know we can say we are 59 and buy them, and also buy from supermarkets.
Having worked for Boots in one role or another, I always think that they train the staff to be professional,and that given that some staff really can be quite snotty and superior when you speak to them.
I hope I never came across like that
