I can,t remember the name of the anti rejection drug the doctor at the hospital said, I will find out when my local doctor recieves letter from hospital and he will prescribe the drug to me. The doctor at the hospital said that there could be some side effects and that they would have to stop the drug and try another one, I will just have to wait and see.I have found alot of information on the website which i ca understand it has been very helpfull as my local doctor does not know much about this condition

Hi, i'm from yorkshire, england. I have cirhoses of the liver, autoimmune

hepetitis, coeliac disaease, chronic pancreaitis and underactive thyroid,

diagnosed with aih and cirhoses a few months ago, on steroids and feeling really

rough! I am so incredibly tired all the time, i have been off work for the last

three months and don't know whether i will ever work again!! the specialist i

saw seemed as confused as i am! He said i had established cirhoses of the liver

but didn't elaborate any further so don't know what prognoses is likely to be. I

see him again in three weeks and then i am gong to ask my GP to refer me to

someone who speiialises in liver complaints even if i have to travel further.

I am 53, married with three sons and a zany cocker spaniel.

all the best to everyone, xxxx chris

Hi Michele,

I too was seeing a wholistic physician who is well regarded here in my area of

Southern Ca. I was told that I have an auto-immune disorder, and placed on

weekly IV vitamin cocktails, hormones, fiber, and supplements of various kinds;

some to digest foods, some to help detoxify, some to soothe the colon, and

lastly, some specifically to help with new symptoms brought on by her program.

The only drug I agreed to try was LDN, or Low Dose Naltrexone. This decision was

only made after much of the doctor's therapy proved ineffective or intolerable.

After a few months, I discontinued the LDN when the only difference I felt with

the drug was a marked decrease in sleep. Thankfully, this has improved greatly

without the drug.

Although I did not take Diflucan, I was given a perscription for Nystatin

several months ago. I reacted so strongly, that even after I discontinued, I

spent several months in bed as the symptoms it produced continued to be

debilitating.

I have to be honest. I ended up choosing to dismiss my doctor; discontinue ALL

supplements prescribed by her, even the thyroid medication and hormones. I feel

like I am making more progress with the diet and supplements here than I ever

did under my doctor's care.

Now, that does not mean I would recommend that for everyone. I felt it was right

for me, and although I'm currently struggling with healing symptoms, my body and

my mind seem to be at peace that the diet and the supplements recommended by Bee

will work together to strengthen the immune system.

Be encouraged,

Nina

> Hi, I just found this group and am excited about having this support and

learning more about healing from my candida realated complex. I have been seeing

a doctor in the area who specializes in environmental and functional medicine

and has been treating candida for a little over 20 years. I think he is good and

is giving me supplements, weekly IV's of the nutrients I am deficient of and I

have been taking diflucan for a few weeks. I can't tolerate the whole pill/dose

because I am so sensitive! I am finally up to 3/4th of a pill but am

experiencing lots of " dieoff " he wants me to try to get to a full pill for two

weeks but I'm not sure I can handle the die off! Lots of stomach cramping, gas,

diarrea, headaches and anxiety.

>

> I'm sure I will learn more soon about how to do this naturally, I am on a

strict diet and have been for months and after the diflucan I am ready to just

use natural means since medication and I DO NOT get along!

> Any support or encouragement at this point would be so much appreciated!
