Hello Dr. Jeff - I just stumbled upon this page in looking for information on candida. This is all very new to me. I just went for a blood test on candida overgrowth. If you could respond to this, it would be greatly appreciated! - I have suffered from a series of "minor" ailments for several years. Since about the age of 18, I have gotten several sinus infections each year. I've had surgeries, allergy shots, etc. In my mid-20s, I developed TMJ and severe calf pain when running. Do you think this is all due to candida overgrowth? On the question of antibiotics, I have had to take several courses over the past 20 years unfortunately (probably 70 or so).
