I'm just throwing this out there because you mentioned your face itched. Do you have any amalgums in your mouth? I did and I got hives on my face. No more amalgums, no more hives. I posted years ago on the mercury forum. If you have amalgums, you might want to have them replaced. If you don't, you might want to check into this website http://www.trippcentral.ca/candida.htm.
She's the real deal, I've spoken with her. Very interesting read about her battle with candida and how she cured it.
Best of luck.
