Hello everyone,
I am new to curezone and desperate for help. This is very personal and embarrassing but here it goes...
Current symptoms:
yeast infections recurrent
uti- not going away after Antibiotics recently
depression
obsessive thoughts
insomnia
nail fungus
constipation
thrush
I believe I've had candida overgrowth for a while---because of nail fungus and recurrent yeast infections. But things got worse for me after I believe I infected myself from the outside in. I have fungus on my fingernails which I've been trying to treat. I was being careless and scratched the inside of my ear and I believe it spread there- no pain now but at first there was and I feel a fullness in my ear. I also put my finger in my mouth (super dumb- I know) and about a day after that I got thrush really badly- nasty taste in my mouth and a feeling of congestion in my nose and sometimes my voice gets hoarse and it feels like I have phlegm so I think it spread to my esophagus, possibly my stomach? I also have insomnia which slowly began and worsened a week after i got thrush.
The doctors i've seen refuse to test me for candida overgrowth (because its "not real") although I did get a prescription for fluconazole (mainly because they gave me Antibiotics for a uti and then said I might get a yeast infection afterward) but it's only for a week and I'm scared to take it and have everything come back worse. At this point Im not sure I can afford a naturopathic doctor but if anyone knows of a good one in the SF bay area please let me know.
I have been feeling super slow lately, it's difficult to articulate my thoughts, even simple decisions have become difficult, I keep obsessing over things, bad memory, i've been socially awkward
I have been depressed in the past but it never came on so suddenly before and I've never suffered insomnia. I was doing quite well all summer possibly because I was taking this Colon Cleanse supplement everyday- maybe it was keeping the yeast in check all along- until I ran out about a month before all this started. The supplement is intestinal cleanse by green lifestyle market- with cape aloe, barberry root, cascara sagrada, garlic bulb, senna leaf, turkey rhubarb, Black-Walnut hulls, clove bud, ginger root, Wormwood , cayenne pepper...
The worst part of this is the insomnia, its really taking a toll on me.
My question is this: where to go from here? I've read multiple things on candida diets but they are all so different and there are all these different treatment plans and products... All these different opinions. I feel very overwhelmed. Has anyone healed fully from this? Am i treating candida or fungus from my nail? I know my immune system is pretty low since I haven't been able to fight any of this but I'm not sure how to figure out the cause of my immune system being this low.
Has anyone done the modern herbalist plan?
I know this is very scattered but it's the best I could do.
