Newbie here, can anyone help me please?

Hi!

My name is Missy and I just found this group.

I have suffered from headaches for about 20 years ( I am 42). I have had sinus

and TMJ surgery and neither of those seemed to solve my chronic headaches.

Some days my headaches are REALLY bad, some days they are tolerable.

Also, about 4 years ago, I literally woke up with a burning sensation in my

throat. Its up high, and after going thru a couple of endoscopies and lots of

acid reflux meds, its pretty much been determined that its NOT acid reflux.

I have this burning ALL the time. Some times its worse then other times, but

its always there. I havent really been able to truly determine what causes it

to get worse, but its been quite frustrating.

I also am on prescription sleeping pills, for I pretty much woke up one day with

insomnia.

I get dizzy alot, and just feel " out of it " alot. I started to really wonder

what in the world is going on with me, this getting older stuff sure stinks!

;-)

I lost my job earlier this year, and have no money to go to any more doctors,

nor do I want to, for they have yet to help me so far.

So, I started researching candida, and really wonder if this is what is going on

with me? I have definitely been on my share of antibiotics thru my entire life.

I also am on birth control pills, have been since I was 20.

Is there a way I can diagnose this on my own, and is it a true diagnosis? SOme

people say this is just a scam, I dont know what to think?

Have any of you had chronic headaches, and/or burning throat, or anything else I

mentioned? If so, what did you do to get better?

I dont even really know where to begin, but I Am praying that maybe this is

finally the answer that may help me start feeling better!

Any thoughts , suggestions, advice, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much! :-)

Missy
