I am so lonely. I live alone and have spent 6 weeks in bed curtains drawn.
I think my posts are too long as no one seems to respond or they say i have a virus ( i dont )
Candida suffere 4 yrs - housebound but able to work from PC and go out occasionally on "good days" which didnt seem to have any reason for why they were good.
Husband left me 18 mths ago due my limited health.
Was on erica white program - tons of vits and diet but only felt worse after 12 mths. Couldnt tolerate even 1 coconut oil tablet left me ill for 2 weeks.
I was on threelac for months ( started nov 08 ended 6 weeks ago )
It was ok at first on SMALL doses. But then I hit 2 pkts a day and all hell broke loose. I was so ill and getting ill and spending more and more days in bed ill without me even increasing the dose.
After 3 months of 2 pkts a day and trying to "stick it out"
I finally collapsed. All over body fatigue and weakness.
Slept for days.
Then symptoms like joint clicking started ( no pain ) and now for the last 3 weeks i am deathly ill.
Aching legs - lower back - hot - cold - shivering - unusualy clammy cold feet - sweaty hands and underams which always starts late afternoon and settles a few hours later.
headaches - joint pain in shoulder which extends all the way down to hand and under the arm too ( right )
wrists thumb joint aches - seems to be getting worse
( always worse at around late afternoon and stays until 11pm - and a little sore when I wake )
shakes
appitite on and off.
All over feeling of sickness..
Muscle twitching
major
Depression probably because I have been in bed for 6 weeks and it doesnt seem to be getting better at all.
This doesnt feel like the die off I got from threelac ( sometimes it does ) other times I just feel ill - weird.
Is this toxic overload?
I have revealed my ferritin levels are 22 ( normal - 10 - 160 )
and TSH 0.32 ( normal 0.3 - 5 )
I just want to talk to someone who can say " yes i have seen or heard of this happening and you need to do ABC"
All i am getting is doctor saying I have virus.
i dont..a virus doesnt get worse on week 6
I dont have chest infection - sore throat - cough.
I want to die..seriously... I dont want to live anymore not like this.
Can anyone recommend a GOOD experienced UK based doctor / therapist who can treat me and find the CAUSE of my candida and why I cant get shut of it? Please?
I have been on the anti candida diet for 4 yrs - give or take once each 6 mths when I would eat 3 chocolates and throw the rest away or have 1 slice of toast..
death seems so more more comfortable than life in my mind.And not having a light or ray of hope..
sorry for the "drama" i am so low and alone.
