Diflucan

September 6, 2003

valerie, are you sure about the dosages? that is an incredibly high

amount of diflucan. the usual dose is one 150mg pill every three

days. the dosage you describe is very risky for your liver and may

upset your stomach as well. i'd double-check...i'm surprised your

insurance (if you have insurance) would cover that much.

> still have the white coating on my tongue.

sinusitis was the problem that finally let me to realize that I have

had a fungal problem all your life. you can forget about your doc,

he can't help you. you need to do a whole body cleanse/detox to get

started healing. I started by following the instructions posted at

www.thedoctorwithin.com

while drugs like difulcan may bring you some relief, they most likely

will not cure you... the same problems that let to fungal growth in

the first place will allow it to grow back when you stop the meds.

you need a life change. it sounds tough, and will take months if not

years, but you can and will feel like a new person.

Isn't it amazing how easily they give out antibiotics, but then are

stingy with the antifungal medications? When, in reality, it could

either be a bacterial or fungal infection that is causing your

problems? Same thing goes for parasitic infections, I really think a

lot of irritable bowel syndrome is probably just a worm infection,

but it seems like when you're past the age of 5, they quit looking

for things like that. That's one little quirk of medicine I guess

I'll never understand.

Yes, the dosage is correct. I agree it is a high dosage and I am aware

of the dangers. Yes, my insurance did pay for it. I went through my

mail order prescription plan which only cost me $40 for the entire

prescription. At this point I have been fighting Candida for over 2

years and have tried everything imaginable. For me the possible

benefits out way the risk.

I took 250mg for seven days in a row, then three weeks later 250 mg

for ten days in a row because symptoms were returning. Continuous

use of Diflucan can be bad for your liver. Taking these doses kept

the yeast away for a month for me before it returned.

Mickaela,

I think with Diflucan, they just try to give you the lowest effective

dose. Has the 50 mg a day been working for you?

i took it yrs ago at a level of 150 daily

September 29, 2003

Hi, I think normal is just 150 mg to 200 mg. However, some people w/

systemic fungal infections take more. There's one really bad fungal

disease called Valley Fever. Here's the message board for it:

http://www.arl.arizona.edu/vfce/wwwboard/wwwboard.html . Some of

them are on up to 800 mg a day, so you can have higher doses. If you

get put on a higher dose, make sure to try to do things to protect

your liver, definitely don't drink, take milk thistle, drink

dandelion tea (or dandelion coffee, I bought some and it's yummy).

Anyway, just wanted to give you the info on the highest dosages I've

seen. That sucks about the resistant strain thing, it seems like

maybe they should have put you on a higher dose to begin with. I

read somewhere that's that's one of the most common failings of the

doctors with the fungal illnesses, they don't put the patient on a

high enough dosage to start. Then, the fungi are very good at

evolving, and become resistant.

Hi nn,I think that diflucan was more beneficial in my case because

nystatin is not absorbed and only works in the digestive tract.I had lots of

candida in my blood.I had severe die off from diflucan the first time that I

took it.I ,too,had constant thraot and sinus infecioons before I started

treatment.Donna

Just wanted to add my two cents worth about

Diflucan:

·

I

was prescribed it by my doctor last year when I had extreme vaginal thrush for

about 6 months. She said I just had to take this one ‘wonder pill’

that would immediately kill off all the candida in my

body. Yeah right. It did absolutely nothing for me

I'm on Diflican 100mg once a day and Ceftin 500 twice a day. I herx

worse from the Diflican then the Ceftin. I have to back off the

Diflican every once in awhile because I get really sick. Been taking

them for 2 months. I was just diagnosed with lyme in April after

being sick for 19 years with what I thought was CFS, so am very new to

the whole lyme thing, so can't really tell yet if treatment is working.

Diflucan treats yeast infections, which come about as a result of

using antibiotics. If nothing else works (like oregano oil or caprylic

acid), Diflucan is the treatment of choice. As far as I know, the only

abx it interferes with is Biaxin.

Come to think of it I have heard of carob. I have never tasted it , does it

taste like chocolate ? I mean REALLY like chocolate ? Thanks!

December 3, 2005

Did you ever try Carob? I used to get Carob covered rice cakes from the Health

Food store & they were awesome, tasted just like chocolate. Unfortunately they

stopped carrying them, but there is Carob covered peanuts, carob covered

raisins, etc. if you can find a store that carries them As long as you don't

have a peanut allergy or the sugar in the raisins isn't a problem!!!

If you are on Diflucan & eat sugar as to not worry about the yeast, isn't that

like being on Zocor & eating foods high in cholesterol??? LOL

Yesterday was an eye-opener for me. I found out how much my family really does

not care about what happens to my Neice and Her husband or anyone who does not

make $100,000 a year.

The neice's husband has Fibro and I know he has Lyme. They live in Texas.

That Nephew I mentioned earlier called me last night at 10:30 way too late for

me. He has a dangerous temper having been raised in the prison systom. I

refuse to talk to him and intend to block his phone calls, If he tries again

today.

I know what you mean about sleep. I get starved for it.

Have you ever eaten or tasted Chocolate, before we add butter and sugar it is

bitter. Surprised? I bet Not.

The LLMD I see does not deal with pain. My local Doc is new to me and is

getting to know me. I have had two surprise test for Drugs borth times nothing

there that was not Rx'd. Not even Medical Herb which she Rx's, and I have never

been able to acquire a taste for.

Same pharmacy now for Six years. Hopefully we will be able to work something

out.

The Local MD I was seeing has started Pediatrics and Is why I have had to go

to another MD.

That test said my Viacoden was high. Now that is three pills a day. Anyway I

will try not to envy your meds anymore. .

Thanks for the fun and knowledge on this site.

hello jamie,

regarding your symptoms, please review the list of common lyme symtoms

compiled by dr burrascano, which i posted recently.

/message/6922

you will find several of your symptoms listed there.

regarding using diflucan for long time, it is usually used to treat

overgrowth of yeast. are you following a strict anti-yeast diet? and

lowering stress in your life? if so, then with that diet and use of some

herbal yeast treatments and yeast enzymes (like Candicid), you may be able

to control your yeast without the difulcan.

blessings on your healing journey,

kendra

Hi all,

Just have some questions maybe some of you can answer for me. I have

been taking diflucan for 3 months off and on now. It really helps my

symptoms out. My doctor doesn't like me to take it but says that

finding something that helps me out so much is good. It is a sign

that I will be able to get better. He said he would rather have me

taking it with liver support than going to the hospital freaking out

and crying from no sleep. I am one of those people who hates taking

pharmaceutical drugs but I have broken down and am also taking xanax

to get to sleep. I guess I should be thankful that god has provided

me with these for relief. I am currently not starting any protocols

as we are going on family trip for a week and don't want to get to

sick before we go.

Anyways, I just want to know if any of you have had any of these

symptoms.

-lots of phlem

-eyes feel really tender

-eyebrow bone is tender

-blurred vision

-body pounds when I lay down

-little blisters on fingers, hurt( maybe shilngles, since I have been

so sick I get cold sore also)

-severe insomnia( for me it is either extreme wiredness or totally

opposite and can't get enough sleep, this is the longest I have gone

with being wired, 7 months, it used to happen for a month and then it

would go away so I am worried that I will be perma wired)

-vertigo

-some shocking pains

-bottom teeth ache in roots

Anyways, It really seems as though the lyme is mainly liking my head.

So I was wondering if anyone has had this wired feeling for this

length of time and if you ever got it to go away. Maybe I will just

take diflucan forever. I wish.

Thanks and Blessings,

Hi Kendra,

Thankyou for the info. I have read Burrascano,s lyme symptom list but I

never find anyone that has had this adrenaline problem for this long of a

time so I was just trying to find someone who can relate and has some

advice.

Also, Have been doing pretty well with diet but have cheats when I get to

busy, it is hard with a 2 year old sometimes.

I am actually not using the diflucan for yeast. I am using it because it

helps with my lyme symptoms a lot. There is a doctor that uses diflucan as

part of his lyme protocol. Dr. Schardt. If you google him, it explains why

it works on lyme. I actually don’t really understand. It just helps me out

so much, but I know that I need to treat my lyme.

Thanks so much and Blessings,

_____
