HEY GUYS- Q; on Diflucan, Candida??

[Guest guest]

HEY Guys-

I haven't been on in a while; hello how are you all doing?! ,and

treatment? It's good to read your questions and comments...

:Question for you, figured someone might now;

-Since I haven't been able to see Dr. Goldberg and I had a NASTY

infection in my abdomen due to a ruptured appendix; then left over

abdomenal abscess infection afterwards- and 23 days of heavy antibiotic

use to kill all the bacteria in my abdomen from the situation-

I've known CANDIDA was a big risk even if it wasn't one before. I was

unable to use the 'rest room' for days due to the rupture and swelling

that caused my intestine to be closed/squeezed off...

I tested negative for Candida/Yeast in the 'past' but was never tested

for Yeast (after surgery, here recently)- considering my situation w/

the infection it only made 'sense' why any possibilty of Yeast growth

should be addressed- and the tests aren't always reliable either.

I'm doing well now; the infection is gone, and has been over one month

now.

-It was HARD but I was 'sorta' able to get my doctor to work with me on

the use of an antifungal after going through such antibiotic use... a

LOT of resistance.

{I see a county doctor; so the second opinion I had to get was still in

the same county medical system.}

I was taking 150 MG Diflucan once a day; and it has been about 15 days

now... That is a regular treatment phase- now what? I read Dr.

Goldberg says that 'yest die off' takes 10-14 days- I've been on mine 15

now. I know the dose I am taking is 'lower' than he likes it to be

(since I'm a 65 Kilogram adult)- but it seems like when I raised it to

twice a day (150 MG x daily)- I didn't have 'D' or constipation (common

die off reactions); etc...

I just noticed I felt very depressed and like Diflucan wasn't

'chemically' syncing with my body well...

Any type of depressive/mood reactions with Diflucan? Anyone?? ; and

what do you all think of Nizoral (Ketoconazole?) Is it more risky?
