Thank you so much for your honest/candid reply. I am soo happy that your lifestyle has improved. It's not easy (what an understatement!!) when you don't have money to pay bills. I know how that feels. Struggling to make ends meet -- with children! It has been perhaps the last 3 years that my husband and I can afford more!
You said "maybe the candida has been attacking my weakest areas??"
I agree...that makes a lot of sense. I think most dis-eases do this.
Regarding back pain: when my stress reached its' highest level, my back would often feel as if it would literally break in half. It seems like some people put a lot of stress on their bodies while others are able to get rid of it without a determental impact on their physical body (exercise, meditation??)
