Hi all,
Been on this board for about 18 months now and just wanted to pass along a little info for anyone that has chronic fatigue. It may not all be your candida. I had literally been non-functional for 15 months that I thought was strictly fatigue from the candida. In May I begged my doc to let me try thyroid meds because I had so many of the symptoms but tested normal but the BOTTOM of the range. Within two days I could feel a difference in my energy and I could breathe so much easier.
I have started working with a new medical institute to help me get my entire endocrine system including female hormones back in balance. They checked my adrenals and they were shot and put me on low dose cortisone and I actually feel like a normal functioning human being again.
I just last week had all 10 Amalgams replaced and am doing mercury chelating and feeling really well.
The doc that orignially diagnosed my candida always said my female hormones, thyroid and adrenals were fine from blood tests. The new place tested with 24 hour urine and did some blood work and female hormones are all extremely low, adrenals shot as well as thyroid low functioning.
So, if you think you may have others issues as I have find a competent place to help you. There is no way possible that I could have undergone the Amalgam removal process just a few months ago because of the horrible fatigue issue. Unfortunately, this mess has a domino effect, it will imbalance everything in our bodies as time goes on. For what it's worth, my two cents.

MoreThis is a reply to # 294,124Hi Deb! I'm so glad to hear you feel as if you're moving in the right direction:-). I'm curious though why the medical institute is giving you cortisol injections instead of trying first to regulate your adrenals through diet ( vitamins and minerals )? It seems like you're doing an awful lot at one time.

MoreThis is a reply to # 294,126Deb....glad to hear things are going well for you. Feeling like a normal person again must be very nice for you! Good luck with everything :-)
Stanna, I'm sure Deb will answer this but I just wanted to say if you're going through any sort of chelation, adrenal support is v imp. Sometimes they are so whacked just taking vits and mins isn't enough and you can end up in a worse state. So glandulars and or herbs or things like cortisone can help a great deal whilst chelating. You taper off when you come off them.

This is a reply to # 294,126Hi Stanna,
No, it's not cortisone injections, it's a very low dose of compounded cortisone. They started me on 2.5 mg one in morning and one at noon for one month with the hopes that that would heal my adrenals and then they dropped me to .25mg one in morning and one at noon but I could feel the fatigue coming back so they had me bump up to .50 mg in morning and .25 mg at noon and am doing better.
Anne is correct about the adrenals. I have felt mine were shot for a couple of years but nobody would help me. Just that small amount of support is allowing me to function normally again for the first time in 2 years, the thyroid meds helped quite a bit but I could tell something was still not right and I know now it was the need for adrenal support.

This is a reply to # 294,129I'm not saying candida is not part of the equation but it is definitely not my entire health issue. The doctor I had been with for 18 months treated the candida only and kept telling me everything else was OK when all along my gut kept telling me the were others things within my body not functioning correctly.
If the starter, battery and sparkplugs are all bad on your car and you only replace the battery you're not going to get very far.
When your health spirals downward it usually has a domino effect, one thing imbalances which causes another imbalance, one part of your body becomes stressed which puts stress on another part. Sometimes it's like a puzzle and you have to get all the pieces to fit before you get back to optimal health.
Deb- Adrenal fatigue #47594

This is a reply to # 294,168I totally agree with you, Deb. I diagnosed myself with adrenal fatigue after reading Doctor Wilson's book. (great book btw, if you haven't read it.) My problems began with allergies (heriditary), that weakened my adrenals, which lead to a lower resistance to sinus infections, which further depleted my adrenals. Then between the lower resistance to infections and all the Antibiotics , I got Candida, which in turn, puts more stress on the adrenals. Like you said, it is a very vicious cycle.
For me going on the diet and antifungal supplements wasn't enough to cure me. I also needed allergy shots, sinus surgey, and the biggest help of all was dental work (see my post titled "If you have a white tongue") Once the dental work was done, my thrush disappeared and the adrenal supplements could finally start healing me, rather than just helping my body keep up.
It sounds like you are on the right track. I hope you continue to improve and get better soon.

This is a reply to # 294,124Deb, Im glad things are working out for you. However, I had a case of hypothyroidism induced by candida. Despite normal thyroid hormone levels, I had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I finally found a doctot that would prescribe Synthoid, and my condition improved. I am not completely cured, but I have the candida well under control. As the candida was controlled my hypothryroid symptoms lessened. I am now off Synthoid completely. So, I beleive that candida effects almost everyone somewhat differently. Unfortunately, there is no road map to recovery that everyone can follow.- Re: To anyone suffering candida rela... deb_46

This is a reply to # 294,133Hi,
I'm not sure with me which came first, the candida or the thyroid symptoms. I had no idea I had candida, didn't even know what it was and kept going to doctors for over a year with horrible low thyroid symptoms but couldn't get any help because I tested the the so called "normal" range. About the 6th doctor I'd went to begging and literally on my hands and knees from fatigue by that time diagnosed the severe candida and by that time it had wiped my immune system and I had a massive case of Epstein-Barr.
For me personally, I think it all started when my female hormones got out of whack in 2000, became estrogen dominant, once again couldn't get any help, from there dominoed to the thyroid, adrenal and candida issues.
I really think after this place I'm working with finally gets my female hormones back in balance I think I will be able to come off the thyroid meds, but for now my body has to have the support.

This is a reply to # 294,124I am happy that you feel you are on the good path. but i do not think anyone is doing you any favors by giving you synthetic cortisone - which is a steroid.
which steroid are you taking? do an internet search on the side effects of synthetic cortisone and/or predinsone you will find osteoporosis, diabetes, glaucoma induced blindness, hip replacement (oops, hip bone dies), skin problems, personality disorders, muscle weakness, etc. i personally had prednisone drastically lower my thyroid function. (which i am now treating without any drugs). be very careful!
by the way, taking thyroid meds does not heal your thyroid. taking thyroid medication will decrease your own thyroid's activity; no need to make hormones internally if they are being delivered artifically into the body. same thing with taking steriods; they act to turn your adrenals off.
giving your thyroid a boost by checking out supplements on the thyroid forum might yield better results long term than taking synthroid.
i've read in this thread that while chelating taking pharma and/or glandulars to 'support' yourself can be useful. glandulars are totally different than pharma; they can be truly supportive of the healing process, whereas pharma never is... there are always side effects that the body must then deal with in addition to what was already going on.

This is a reply to # 294,174I most definitely asked them about the cortisone issue and because it's such a low dose it would be OK. I'm still most defintely addressing the candida with diet, compounded Nystatin, Diflucan and they put me on a probiotic that's supposed to be one of the best, it was developed in Japan, can't think of the name because I'm out and have got to pick some more up when I go for my appt. this Tuesday.
I without a doubt think that supporting my adrenals will be a big step towards my recovery. I've had several people tell me how much better I am looking and acting withing the last month. I had horrid dark circles under my eyes since I've been sick and they improved immensely within 3 days of having my Amalgams removed.

This is a reply to # 294,186Deb,
according to Cutler, not supporting the adrenals is the biggest mistake that mercury toxic people make. So you are most certainly doing the right thing by supporting your adrenals. Do not listen to the naysayers. Of course cortisone (and other forms of adrenal therapy) have their contraindications, but its only short term until you get the mercury out.
Mercury toxic people need as much adrenal support as they can get.
Hope everything is well with you,
JV.

This is a reply to # 294,188Hi JV,
Yes, I'm doing well and thanks for the support on the adrenal issue and thanks for helping me to realize my mercury issue had to be dealt with. I'd felt my adrenals were probably shot for quite a long time but didn't realize how shot until someone finally put me on some support.
I've still got aways to go as I've just starting hitting the mercury but I feel confident that this is a process that is very necesary for my return of optimal health and I won't stop until I have it. I know you feel as I do, had quite enough of the lousy health.
I'm planning on enrolling in some classes after the holidays, hoping to get back into the job market sometime next year if I continue to improve as I have been.
I too, hope you continue to do well, nice to see you on the board.

- Steroids don't kill good flora #47594

This is a reply to # 294,174Steroids don't kill good flora. What they actually can do (at high doses) is suppress your immune response which means your white blood cells don't fight off infections that they normally would. This can indeed result in Candida, but it is not because of a lack of good flora.
High doses and/or taking steroids for long periods of time can cause problems. But in some instances, such as Deb's they are very useful and essential to recovery. Right now, her adrenals need a rest.
