Oh dear, so is latex in changing mats?

I feel sorry for you, its everywhere. I am glad i only get thrush. Saying that when I get thrush, it's pretty nasty.

i will have to have a look on ebay then! its a nightmare ive been kneeling on the babys plastic changing mat whilst changing his bum an my knees are a right state,my own fault tho for being stupid

I am 'sensetive' to latex but it's not as bad as being alleric I feel so sorry for you, how do you cope day to day?

I am lucky that I only seem to get thrush from using latex condoms, and some plasters give me a nasty reaction, but thats about as far as it goes.

my Family planning clinic won't give me the non latex condoms without a latex allergy on my medical notes, so maybe you should get it in writing and then go to the FPA and they will give you as many as they can.

They are expensive, so they don't give them away unless a late allegy is 100% certain.

I used to buy my Durex Avanti from Hong Kong via ebay. They are cheap as chips and ordered a shed load of them and worked out at half price.

hiya yes i have a latex allergy,when i went to family planning the nurse there gave me loads,go back and ask for more! i no they are expensive to buy,im not sure if gp could prescribe them i doubt it though

should beable to get them on prescription. u have to b carefull as the sole of shoes have latex in to.

now a nurse at the hospital who had to leave due to this, an coz of how much it has restricted her life she gets disability allowence.

Does anyone have a latex allergy i do and my family planning only give me 2 every other week thats if they have them in!!! they are expensive to buy. Just wondering what anybody else does if they have the allergy. Would my gp prescribe them or not i breifly asked him the other week and he really wasnt interested.
