NYSTATIN ONLY works on mucous membranes NOT on nipple tissue. When will drs. understand moms need separate meds. Sorry. PS -Heard a new abbreviation today. TBA- total body assessment. Have an appt. with a sports med orthopedic next week. My poor joints and bones are breaking down in my old 40yr body. The Dr. said "oh, you need to come in and have a TBA done" I felt pretty stupid because I had never heard that one. As long as they do not tell me I have to stop running, I will be OK.
