Re: Does Systemic Candida always mean Hospitalization ?
"After few weeks into the treatment, I started feeling really tired, brain fogged, losing hair, getting athlete's foot, digestive disorders (bloated, diarrhea/constipation, blood in stool), oily skin, massive dandruff, losing weight.
I was prescribed by another doctor fluconazole. Most of my symptoms got 10 times worse immediatly after and liver enzymes slightly elevated."

I have to mention that it seems very coincidental that both you and your roommate got the very rare systemic blood candida infection. I think there's probably a lot more to the story, but I'm not asking you to divulge anything.
