You may want to join this group, headed by Dr. McCandless, who deals with autism and LDN and consequently has to deal with yeast and candida all the time, and ask her there. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Autism_LDN/ People always ask her about stuff like this.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi Sue,No, I didn't know about the liver panel. Thanks for the info. But I have to take Diflucan for only 3 weeks. So it won't be a long term issue. I will check my liver though, cause as far as I know prednisone can effecting it too. Yana Yana, I've been on Hydrocortisone for months due to adrenal insufficiency. I'm weaning off very slowly. I have a very long term yeast infection and tried Nystatin for months---that didn't work and caused other problems. I really started to improve and see more die-off once we went to add Diflucan. While the Hydrocortisone is an immune supressant, it won't stop the Diflucan from working. So as we are weaning off of it, the Diflucan will just get more effective. And the positive effects of SCD too, IMHO. Did your MD tell you need to have a liver panel blood test every month to make sure the Diflucan isn't effecting your liver ? Sue R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
