Diflucan/sound sensitivity improvements

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to post our experience and see what others

have seen. We started valtrex a few weeks ago but

after 2 weeks had what seemed like really bad yeast (

white tongue, not sleeping, red ring around anus). We

then stopped the valtrex and requested a script from

our DAN for diflucan..we had been using natural anti

fungals but they were not keeping yeast at bay. In the

few days it took to get the script our sons behavior

got really bad...hitting, biting, not sleeping,

grouchy....just miserable. We started the diflucan

but have not added back the valtrex yet. Our son is

doing great on just the diflucan. He is happier, more

social , calmer and talking more. THE MAJOR

IMPROVEMENT IS HIS SOUND SENSITIVITY IS WAY DOWN! This

has always been a major problem for him. Can diflucan

somehow decrease sound sensitivity??????????? We have

used major amounts of zinc and magnesium with no help

with sound sensitivity. We have not done diflucan in

years since our OAT tests have always showed no yeast.

Our CDSA's have never shown bacteria to be an issue

either. We did an OAT right before we started valtrex

and everything was normal.

Thanks for any input!

Yeast definitely causes sound sensitivity for my son.

IME observation of symptoms is more accurate than those tests.

My son is very sound sensitive when he is having a yeast flare-up, so it would make sense that Diflucan would help with that.

Increased sound sensitivity can be either yeast or low magnesium. I have heard that in some recovered kids, sound sensitivity never goes away (some sort of permanent damage), but it certainly sounds like in your case, it was linked to yeast. Huge congrats!

You ask: Can diflucansomehow decrease sound sensitivity?????????? yes, if it makes the gut respond in a + way, it makes the brain process more smoothly---remember the gut-brain connection--- and auditory processing is just one of the many brain functions.

I agree with Vera but you can also add viral infection as a cause for sound

senstivitiy.

bacteriology

and virology.

CONCLUSION: Among 20 patients with inner ear complications and/or peripheral

facial

palsy secondary to acute otitis media (AOM) a proven or probable bacteriological

cause

was found in 13 (65%). In seven patients (35%), a proven or probable viral cause

was

found. Only two of the patients (10%), with a proven bacterial AOM and a

clinical picture of

a purulent labyrinthitis in both, together with a facial palsy in one, had a

substantial

degree of dysfunction. Although the number of patients in this study is

relatively low our

findings show that inner ear complications and facial palsy due to AOM can be of

both

bacterial and viral origin. Severe sequelae were found only where a bacterial

origin was

proven. OBJECTIVES: Inner ear complications and/or peripheral facial palsy

secondary to

AOM are rare. The general understanding is that they are due to bacterial

infections.

However, in some of these patients there are no clinical or laboratory signs of

bacterial

infections and they have negative bacterial cultures. During recent years

different viruses

have been isolated from the middle ear or serologically proven in AOM patients

and are

thought to play a pathogenetic role. We suggest that in some cases of AOM

complications

from the inner ear and the facial nerve can be caused by viruses. The purpose of

our study

was to analyze infectious agents present in patients with inner ear

complications and/or

facial palsy arising from AOM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The medical records of 20

patients who had inner ear complications and/or facial palsy following AOM (

unilateral in

18, bilateral in 2) between January 1989 and March 2003 were evaluated.

Bacterial cultures

were carried out for all patients. Sera from 12 of the patients were stored and

tested for a

battery of specific viral antibodies. In three patients, investigated between

November 2002

and March 2003, viral cultures were also performed on samples from the middle

ear and

nasopharynx. RESULTS: Nineteen patients had inner ear symptoms. Eight of them

had a

unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo, three had vertigo as an

isolated

symptom and one, with bilateral AOM, had bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

Seven

patients had a combination of facial palsy and inner ear symptoms (unilateral

sensorineural hearing loss in three, unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and

vertigo in

two, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo in one, with bilateral

AOM, and

vertigo alone in one). One patient had an isolated facial palsy. Healing was

complete in 11

of the 20 patients. In seven patients a minor defect remained at follow-up (a

sensorineural

hearing loss at higher frequencies in all). Only two patients had obvious

defects (a

pronounced hearing loss in combination with a moderate to severe facial palsy

(House-

Brackman grade 4) in one, distinct vestibular symptoms and a total caloric loss

in

combination with a high-frequency loss in the other. Eight patients had positive

bacteriological cultures from middle ear contents: Streptococcus pneumoniae in

two,

beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group A in two, beta-hemolytic Streptococcus group

A

together with Staphylococcus aureus in one, Staph. aureus alone in one and

coagulase-

negative staphylococci (interpreted as pathogens) in two. In the 12 patients

with negative

cultures, there was a probable bacteriological cause due to the outcome in

SR/CRP and

leukocyte count in five. In four patients serological testing showed a

concomitant viral

infection that was interpreted to be the cause (varicella zoster virus in two,

herpes simplex

virus in one and adenovirus in one.) In three there was a probable viral cause

despite

negative viral antibody test due to normal outcome in SR/CRP, normal leukocyte

count,

serous fluid at myringotomy and a relatively short pre-complication antibiotic

treatment

period.

Hi ,

This is a very typical story when you try Valtrex or OLE without diflucan or

nizoral

onboard. A yeast flare kicks up. The folks who see the best gains use both at

the same

time so there isn't any time for the virus and/or fungus to mutate into

something harder

to kill off. If that were my child I would get the Valtrex in with the

Diflucan. This is what

we hear works the best.

I'm glad you are seeing gains.
