Hi 188,
You asked "what is my best option?" If it were me, the below information is what I would use to effect a healing of/for myself:
As "grist for your mill," are you aware of the almost miraculous results many tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people have experienced, dealing with most of the physical health issues known to humankind, from ingesting the universally powerful antioxidant, ascorbic acid?
If you are seriously interested in finding a solution to your health problem(s), 188, and gaining better health in all areas of your body, I encourage you to read [at least the first ten paragraphs of] this article, written by Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D.
http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm
It has a very good chance of solving your health issue(s). You have only better health to gain by applying its recommendation. What have you got to lose?
These three quotes are instructive:
"There are more than ten thousand scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced - directly or indirectly - by vitamin C." -- Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., Dr. Marshall Ringsdorf, D.M.D., and Dr. Emily Sisley, THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION.
"The evidence unequivocally shows that mega-gram doses of vitamin C can prevent and cure a vast list of conditions that plague mankind. It is both inexpensive and completely safe. My conclusion: vitamin C is the 'Primal Panacea.'" -- Dr. Thomas E. Levy, M.D. (You may care to look up the definitions of “primal” and [particularly] “panacea”).
“I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.” -- Dr. Frederick Klenner, M.D.
I wish you the best of success, 188, in your search for better health! If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns about ascorbate/vitamin C therapy, please post them here, and/or feel free to contact me privately.
Sincerely,
David
Hi August,
You are most welcome.
I would like to offer you this one cautionary comment, August: If you review the material, be sure you get this point: Dosage is the key! As an example, if a doctor prescribed a dose of antibiotic to a patient, it would come with both an amount and frequency of dosage. Hypothetically, if that patient decided to cut that prescribed antibiotic dosage in half, and/or ingest it at one-half the prescribed frequency, and then did not get the results expected, could we really/honestly say that they tried the antibiotic out, and it did not work? And so it is with ascorbic acid. Dr. Cathcart wrote that he did not see significant results in his patients until they approached Bowel Tolerance: "The clinical symptoms of...diseases and other conditions...are markedly ameliorated only as bowel tolerance dose levels (the amount that almost, but not quite, causes diarrhea) are approached."
And similarly this from Dr. Thomas E. Levy, M.D.: "The three most important considerations in effective vitamin C therapy are 'Dose, Dose, and Dose.' If you don't take enough, you won't get the desired effects. Period!...you will rarely ever fail to observe a dramatic response...IF you take a large enough dose for a long enough time."
All just "grist for your mill," August, and best wishes,
David
Professor,
Candida is just a HORRIBLE disease that can even result in death. See the symptoms & 5 stages of Candida here:

"If you have ever taken an antibiotic at any time in your life, then you have systemic fungal Candida." – Dr. Jeffrey McCombs, The Candida Expert
I suffered with Candida for well over 30 years and doctors lied to me. I had no idea I was suffering with Systemic Candida. Candida crashes the immune system resulting in all of those diseases listed. Yes, that list is real.
