I blew his mind as I do with any doctor with my lab tests and symptoms. He refilled my itra prescription for the time being (thank god!!) He wants me to redo the sputum cultures if they are positive again he said he wants me on Vfend!!! He said I should have been responding better to the itra but he said vfend was much better for aspergillus.(duh!) I have mixed emotions about this because everyone I talk to with this and all the medical journals say you need long term treatment with any of the antifungals, so me not getting better "enough" in 3 months doesnt mean to me that its not going to work. All the doctors I have seen share this thought though.
anyways I think he might be on the right track. I gave him my history of low immune system and always catching colds and tonsillitis every month and being given all the Antibiotics for them then leading to the candida and aspergillus. He thinks there is something wrong with my immune system (duh again!) unlike my other ID doctor who thought my immune system was over reacting. I believe I have a low one not over reacting.
He thinks why I have the candida and aspergillus and I'm not getting better is from some sort of a virus that is keeping my immune system in a low state to not be able to fight these fungal infections off.He did a lot of blood tests to look for viruses, I could tell he has an idea of what he is specifically looking for...(interesting), I told him I came back positive for some other viruses my other doctor tested for and he said he saw that and that he did not test for the ones he was looking for. I will find out what these tests were in a month. It will be interesting to see if they are positive,what if it is positive, I wonder if you all took the same test if it would be also? There has to be some link between us all, tons of people take Antibiotics for months even years (my friend for lyme) and don't get candida so why us? what can be done about a virus? thought there was no cure for them. Kind of hoping this guy is on the right track none of the others have come at it from this angle, to figure why the immune system is supressed, fix that then work on the fungus as a secondary problem.
I had a ton of things I forgot to ask to get tested for. Can you guys give me some ideas of tests to ask for. I know I need my thyroid, hormones, adrenals, blood glucose, tested, but can't think of anything else.?

This is a reply to # 1,710,864KB,
First off, congrats for finding a good doctor finally. God knows they are few and far between. Have you been tested for Epstein Barr? That is a common virus. So is Cytomegalo and HHV-6 (not HIV). Maybe he is testing for one of those. Regardless, I would be most interested in hearing what he finds with you.
With me, I have leaky gut, candida, Roundworm parasites, Epstein Barr, lyme disease with lyme co-infections and mercury toxicity. If there is some hidden virus contributing to the non-lyme issues, I would love to know what it is. I have also heard that a retrovirus can be involved with people like us. All I know is, they have got to find something soon. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired and barely tolerating food, since what I can eat is so boring and monotonous. God what I wouldn't give for something "unhealthy" to eat just once again. Human should not have to live on only cardboard and water practically. It takes all the pleasure out of life. Bah!

hi angel! I was tested by my other infectious disease doctor and came back positive for Epstein barr and also flagged High positive for cytomegaloviris. this new doc saw these results and said these were not the ones he was going for. seems I'm packed full of viruses! can't imagine how he would treat these when there is no cure. hum...
still don't know what to think though, cause I would have never gotten aspergillus if I did not live in that god forsaken rental! I pray every day that I could go back and never live in that house....auh to have a time machine!

This is a reply to # 1,710,930I hear ya. That is one of my biggest fears about renting. Were you able to see any mold or did you just guess that it could be in the house. Next time we rent, that is one of the questions I'm going to ask, if they know of any past or current mold issue. Still, they may not even know it is there. Scare me to death.

thanks for reminding me. I bought some heavy metal urine tests to take. I will take them later tonight. But I also have tons of bottles of modifilin (sp??) and drops for your water to remove metals. But was then side tracked when I was put on the itra and told that I could not remove metals while take prescriptions forget the reason. I don't want to make the itra less effective by doing this. I have no idea whats in crap pharms you think if I took the urine test the itra might have metals in it and it give me a false reading? I know a lot of pharms do.

This is a reply to # 1,710,864He sounds good. I definitely like his approach. That would give me confidence. I'm also very curious which viruses he's looking for.
Thanks for the update.- Re: *update, Went to new infectious ... gibby

This is a reply to # 1,710,880definately keep us updated! I also went to an infectious disease alternative MD. She looked over all my tests, said all I had was an immunodeficiancy. She gave me a bunch of supplements to take (one has rice bran syrups in it) (UltraClear with phplus - Metagenics) cleans out your system and replenishes. I'm so afraid to take it because of the rice bran solids, seems to add up to to much sugar!! Maybe worth it? plus other stuff that has the probiotic yeast saccromycese - researching about that now, it's supposed to be great for candida yeast, it's a good yeast. Many supplements have this! So, I'm on hold, but in the meantime, I'm on antifungals which I desperatley need now. Looking into superfood supplements on my own. I bought some organic wheat grass powder and I really like it a lot!

This is a reply to # 1,710,864I don't know what kind of virus the Dr can be looking for aside of HIV. HV, EBV are very common, and I don't think they are able to totally depress the immune system.

This is a reply to # 1,710,864Hey, kakiebaby...
It is mostly about the toxins that come from these fungal infection. It speaks to the fact that you have little, if any good biotics in the gut to protect you, hence a poisonous environment.
Since I did this treatment to eliminate candida and reinstate my healthy bacterial flora, I have not had a cold or flu...about 5 years.
There us a cure for viruses, it is just that med sci wont try anything else. Go to http://www.thecandidayeastanswer.com
and download their free book and read about their exclusive biotic silver.
Everybody, almost, has a compromised immune system, low gut biotics. If you rid these poison infections that the gut is harboring, the immune system will come to life. It is just working too hard on the toxins that are reabsorbing into the blood via the G.I. tract.
If this goes on for too long, your glandular function will be weakened and you will become chronically fatigued.
I am in stage 3 adrenal exhaustion from a lifetime of candida and overwork/under-rest, and the university hospital doctors could not diagnose it. They said I had an infection, though I had no injury. I just wanted some emergency Cortef (hormone) and they wouldn't give it. Instead put me on Antibiotics for 6 days which did nothing. I still had to go home and cure myself...with rest and fresh air...and tons of homemade probiotics.

This is a reply to # 1,711,470I used the candida treatment at http://www.thecandidayeastanswer.com
If you download their free book, it will explain biotic silver. It is very effective on most pathogens, including viruses. It is ionic/dissolved silver that can go to every part/cell of the body.- Re: *update, Went to new infectious ... kakiebaby

I have used silver before for awhile didnt do anything to the aspergillus.
My candida was actually getting a lot better then I moved in a moldy house and got a whole new set of problems, I don't think candida is my problem so much anymore as just trying to get rid of this aspergillus. Yah I'm not so sure he knows what hes doing. Right now I have stopped herbal antifungals and have been just doing probiotics (which I have done before and still no help) but trying it again.... need to get on the vfend, he will only do it if his new sputum cultures come up positive... even though I already have results from not that long ago! annoying to say the least...
