Re: Diflucan problem - migraines

[Guest guest]

Pam, I’m about 80 days into the

Diflucan 200mg therapy. I will tell you, the 1st 3 weeks were

rough. I did have headaches & although I didn’t think my fatigue

could get much worse, it was HORRIFIC the 1st 3 weeks. I bit

the bullet & persevered (which isn’t easy) & I have to say, I’m

glad I stuck with it. I went full dose & never skipped a day, as much

as I wanted to. I’m not willing to say it’s a miracle cure……..but

I’m glad I’m pursuing it. The headaches are gone. The

HORRIFIC fatigue is gone & I’m just back to the pre-existing fatigue

level, but am hopeful that it will abate soon.

Of interest, I was bit by a tick almost a

year ago. I was already sick before this with either a rheumatological

disease or Lyme (debatable) but was re-infected in May. It set off a

series of terrible itching rashes which would keep me awake at night. I

scratched myself raw. I have been on multiple treatments for this &

it’s been quite discouraging. About 60 days into the diflucan, the

rashes are going away. No, I don’t think the underlying issue was

yeast. I think this Diflucan really does do something to disrupt the life

cycle of Lyme.

[infections] Diflucan problem - migraines

It was interesting to see that mentioned migraine problems when

on Diflucan. I have experienced a similar

problem experiencing nasty

visual auras which I haven't had for over 7

years. I feel aweful at

the time and it stirs up my central nervous system

badly also feeling

quite dizzy with it.

I have only taken 1 Diflucan last Friday, 1 Sunday

and 1 yesterday.

The first classical migraine started within 24

hours of taking the 2bd

Diflucan tablet and today another even worse one

started within 24

hours of taking the 3rd Diflucan yesterday.

I cannot see how I can do the Diflucan protocol

that my doc wants me

to do if I react in this way. These attacks

really scare me they are

so nasty and they are not typical of the usual

migraines I get.

Thanks for this Patrice, if it were just my normal migraines I

wouldn't be happy but also I wouldn't be too concerned, its just the

aura bit is so unusual for me to experience these days and it is

this that has concerned me.

Hopefully I will get to meet with Schardt in a week or two when he's

in town. I would say yours and 's response is because diflucan has

good intracelllular and CNS penetration and is killing both borrelia

and fungi.

I will be interested to hear of what you

learn from Schart and any additional studies/recommendations he might have.

HI Pam

Im sorry I cannot help more. I would say one thing. My neurological

problems significantly have improved with B12, Are you getting enough.

I find that I need quite a bit and strangely the Cyno liquid form is

most effective. Just thought Id re mention that.
