Women need to know how to stop recurrent vaginal fungus infection. It is definitely one way of taking care of one’s health, as well as being a responsible partner.

Around 5 to 8 percent of women experience recurrent bouts of vaginal infections. This condition is described as having more than four infections in a year. The usual risk factors include the intake of cranberry juice, or the use of pantyhose, panty liners or sexual lubricants. Avoidance of such products is one of the most effective ways on how to stop recurrent vaginal fungus infection.

Before jumping into any conclusions, you need to be properly diagnosed by a healthcare professional. Early detection and diagnosis increases your chances of fighting such condition, as well as its likelihood of recurring.

As of now, no real evidence have been found to support the assumption that consuming or applying products that contain live Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in keeping vaginal infections at bay. Nevertheless, familiarizing yourself with various tips on how to stop recurrent vaginal fungus infections wouldn’t really hurt.

More often than not, women who suffer from recurring vaginal infections are prescribed with a longer course of treatment. A topical medication may be given between ten and fourteen days, or an oral fluconazole preparation at 150 mg may be administered with a second dosage 72 hours soon after.

A vaginal infection is not really regarded as a sexually transmitted disease but it can still be passed on from one person to another. Although most doctors don’t currently advise treatment of the patient’s sexual partner, this extra step can be beneficial.

These are some useful tips on how to stop recurrent vaginal fungus infections [http://stop-candida.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-to-cure-candida-yeast-infection.html]. You’ll never really know when they may come in handy.

Sometimes its nice to know who’s been visiting your blog and where they came from, rather than just a numbers game – “i had so many visitors last week” etc. Making good use of visitor statistics can help you fine-tune copy and content if you’re a serious online marketeer.

And if you’re not, then there’s still nothing more satisfying than seeing daily visitor numbers rise week on week. If nothing else, it proves you’re doing something right.

Blogger and WordPress blog platforms make it really easy to quickly add stat programs like Google Analytics and StatCounter through their Admin User Panels. In Blogger’s case, you simply need to add a html/javascript gadget and copy and paste the StatCounter tracking code into it. It really is that simple.

However, when I came to add StatCounter stats to my Tumblr account, I found it rather more challenging.

Tumblr is described as “a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, video, links, quotes, and audio to their tumblelog, a short-form blog. Users are able to “follow” other users and see their posts together on their dashboard. You can like or reblog other blogs on the site and other users can do the same to your posts. The service emphasizes customizability and ease of use” (see wikipedia)

I’ve been using to collate a fantasy iPod playlist, posting a different music track or video from YouTube each day. I now have a steady stream of fellow music lovers following my posts.

I couldn’t find anything in the help pages and most online searches drew a blank.

Then I found, almost by accident, the nugget of information I needed: how to install javascript into your Tumblr template, and so I’d like to share that information with you here.

As with all template changes, please, please make sure you’ve got a back up somewhere first (expand widgets if you’re doing such template changes on Blogger) as things can go wrong and be very very hard to recover from. You’ve been warned! (But don’t let that put you off trying altogether).

So in my case, I wanted to install the custom tracking javascript supplied by StatCounter. Here’s what you do.

1 – Log into your Tumblr Account.

2 – Click the “Customise” link.

3 – Click “Theme” and then select “Use Custom HTML”.

4 – Scroll to the end of the code and paste your StatCounter code JUST BEFORE the < /body>  tags.

5 – Don’t forget to click “Save Changes”.

6 – Log back into your StatCounter account to check that it is recording visits (unless you’ve purposefully blocked your IP address from being recorded as a visit).

A friend sent me an e-mail after reading my blog last week about AHAs. In the blog, I shared seven realizations, including: Whatever I judge myself for, others will pick up on it, whether I try to hide it or not. So I may as well stop wasting my energy pretending anything.

She expressed confusion because she is also familiar AA’s philosophy of “Fake it till you make it.” She wondered how I reconcile “faking it” with being genuine.

I think that intention gets us through this perceived dilemma. If we’re doing anything out of fear, it is bound to backfire on us eventually. When we create acts because we’re afraid of failure, embarrassment, humiliation, rejection, or abandonment, we’re always looking over our shoulder, keeping our fingers crossed that our act will “work,” i.e., get us the approval, respect, or love we are seeking. Inevitably, however, we find that the world mirrors our true beliefs about ourselves anyway. All that effort turns out to be a setup for frustration and eventual hopelessness.

“Fake it till you make it” isn’t about putting on an act out of fear; it is about having the courage and perseverance to practice new, uncomfortable, yet empowering behaviors that are self-respectful and self-loving with the intention of becoming the person we want to be. “Faking it” in this way takes tremendous determination because we’re stretching beyond our comfort zone of thoughts and behaviors that have kept us safe but confined. This kind of change requires an act of faith—often of the leaping variety.

If we act out of fear, “fake it till you make it” becomes just another excuse for being inauthentic. Based on an intention to be our best self, however, this same behavior will help us awaken.
