GMC,

I think Dr. Kolb suggests Diflucan for the anti-fungal. If your

implants have fungus in them and are circulating it throughout your

body, the Diflucan is supposed to help. I've taken it before for a

yeast infection and it works quite well.

Garden of Life's Fungal Defense is non-prescription -

and very good! . . . Take one bottle, followed by

Primal Defense indefinitely . . .

Prescription anti-fungals run the risk of liver damage

because the die-off of fungal organism is toxic.

Garden of Life's products are more gentle and (IMHO)

safer.

Actually I believe it was Diflucan that put me into an early

menopause. I know it doesn't do this to everyone and isn't listed

as a side effect, but we all know how that goes. I was having

normal periods when suddenly I got a yeast infection. I used

Diflucan, then skipped a period (wasn't normal for me). Then I got

another yeast infection, took Diflucan, skipped periods for 6

months. Came back, got another yeast infection, took Monostat

instead (turns out it's the same type of medicine), and again went

into a nuclear winter. I went on the pill to replace hormones, and

was ok with that until implant surgery, and then I had to go off of

it because it seemed to aggrivate all my symptoms.

Hi Sis

Dr. Leu tested me for candida through stool culture. Right in the

lab they try different drugs so that they know beforehand which ones

work, instead of trying them on you. He gave me a choice of

specific prescription or a natural rememdies that already were

already shown to work on my particular strain, and I went with the

natural. When I am done the course, I will get retested to see if

it worked. I had some herx symptomes a few days into the treatment,

so I think it probably is working. I am learning that the yeast can

proliferate moreso in women who have immune dysfunction, and can

cause a lot of symptoms we all have, chronic inflammation, sinus

problems etc. It can also cause leaky gut, which also causes

chronic inflammation and allergy responses to a lot of foods and

chemical sensitivities too. Have you been tested for it recently?

Hope this spring is helping you!

I'm not so sure Diflucan was directly to blame for

your hormone problems . . .

Implants cause havoc with hormones . . . wittness the

problems so many women have getting pregnant or

carrying a baby after breast implants. . .

It all gets very complicated. I'm not sure if anyone

understands what's going on. . . If they did, I'm sure

breast implants would be pulled from the market!

In the meantime, it's wonderful that women can come

here and share their experiences! . . . Maybe one day

this will lead to an understanding of what's going on!

One problem I see is that herxing can get confused

with real problems . . . trying to figure it out can

be mind-bending! . . . It's trial and error . . . to

be approached carefully until you understand how your

body is reacting.

I like the description of " nuclear winter " . . .

that's what I felt like on the post-surgery cancer

medication! . . . Awful!

Hugs,

Rogene

Hey Cherie,

I just sent out a test called an " OAT Test " which is an Organic Acid

Test, and it apparently also checks for candida. I'm sure I've got

that, I've had problems with yeast infections for years. I had to

hold off on sending the OAT Test out because it cost $220 and I had

to wait a few paychecks before I sent it out. I had 11 tubes of

blood taken a few weeks ago, and the naturopath didn't want to meet

with me to discuss the results until I sent the OAT test out. So,

hopefully within the next few days I'll get the results.

I have been feeling better for the most part, but it seems towards

the end of the workweek I start getting achy. Seems like I

generally feel better when it's warmer, and not quite as good on the

cooler days. I guess by Friday my body has had enough, too. Only

one more week of school and then the week after that is final

exams. I'm doing very well in my classes even though I no longer

attend in person. The math teacher was nice enough to meet with me

one night a week after work to go over what he taught in class. He

told me I got 110% in the exam I just took last week. He added

extra credit for some of the questions and it certainly worked in my

favor. For Accounting, I just get copies of the class notes and

homework assignments and do it on my own. The other two classes

I've already wrapped up and got an A on them. I think I told you I

made the Deans List, so this Sunday I'll be attending an induction

ceremony into the International Honor Society. It looks good on the

resume, and I worked hard for it, so I'm proud of that.

Talk to you soon,

Sis

I had the hormone problems long before I got the implants. I went

into the nuclear winter five years ago, and got implants one year

ago (coming up on May 10th, what a year this has been). Anyway, the

implants certainly did not help matters.

Hi Sis - congratulations on the Honors society! I just can't fathom

all you do - despite your health. I'm glad the doc is running so

many tests, and hopefully find what will help you. I went out to

dinner Sunday night, and despite the fact that I ate salad and

chicken, it wasn't organic and I felt it. Doing okay again now,

though exhausted tonite - unfortunately, it's not until my body

screams with fatigue that I actually stop. I will be traveling to

NJ on Sunday for my daughter's competition - May's Landing, which I

know is not near you. This will be the first competition that I

actually feel good.

Let me know when you get your results back!

Congrats sis! I am amazed at how well you are able to carry on when

you aren't feeling up to par. I kind of feel like a real baby

compared to you! When I don't feel good I find it hard to do

anything that isn't absolutely necessary. I need to work on that!

Actually I am and am making some progress.

Hugs, Kathy

Kathy,

You know what I found, that doing things was a great distraction.

When I first got sick, I didn't feel comfortable going anywhere, I

just wanted the safety of my home. However, when I enrolled in

school I found that it was a great escape. Now I'm at work full-

time and I feel the same way, when I'm busy and distracted, I'm not

focusing on my aches and pains. It seems to have worked wonders,

too. I think because the stress and worry regarding a job and

income are no longer on the table, it's helping my body to heal.

Sis

You are so right! I am beginning to find that too. I guess I just

got to used to focusing on my illness instead of the world around

me. I just got a job on friday that will help me ease back into

making commitments and keeping them. It will be very flexible and

can be done from home, but for me, it is a good start! I definitely

find that while I initially dread days that I am committed to

something, once I get involved, like you said you become distracted

from your pain and actually feel good about your accomplishments!

Hugs, Kathy

working and healing and studying at night! . . . .

Watch out world! . . . Here comes Sis!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!

Nothing's going to stop you now!

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Rogene. Your message came at a great time - I was having

one of those days where I was feeling as if I'm never going to be

well again, and your message really lifted me up. Sometimes I take

for granted that I accomplished alot during the absolute worst time

of my life.

Sis,

I have absolutely no doubt you're going to make it!

Health-wise, career-wise and emotionally . . .

You may need to slow down a bit to let your body heal

some more - But you'll soon find that's more of a

nusiance than anything else! You've got so much to do!

Just try to keep the stress under control!

Gretchen,

You can take all the anti-fungal's on the market, and none will work unless you follow the diet.. If you do all the anti-fungal's at one time, they will not work what so ever if eating a poor diet and sugar.... There is no fast way to rid yeast, if there was we all would not be on here daily talking about ways to rid candida yeast from our bodies.... Follow the diet, no cheating. I got rid of my yeast by doing this and I only took one month's worth of anti-fungal diflucan.... If I eat sugar one time it comes back.... I don't run to buy more anti-fungal's since I am broke as a convict.... I stop eating the sugar and it gets better.... I am now going to do the kefir, since that was free, I can only pray that it works.... Some have not did the protocol, followed the diet and got better.... You can sometimes take to much medicine and make yourself more crazy than you need to be.... Just be careful..... Sometimes more medicine is not the best remedy, it is diet, diet, diet and time, time, time.... That is the best remedy in some cases....... No quick fix when you are struck with sickness from these deadly devices... Hang in there and Good Luck

Gretchen,

I had to take Sporanox for 4 months and be on a very strict diet

before it worked. You have not given it enough time. Be sure you

avoid all white starches like pasta and potatoes as well as all sugars.

. . . I agree completely . . . We must take charge of our diet if we are to get better . . . Nobody can do it for us! . . . And, considering what you said about leaky gut, I think you're right about not doing it until the gut is healthy. . . . It's Diet, diet, diet.
