Re: Flucanzole (yeast)

[Guest guest]

Pam-

I have known 2 people with a documented yeast infection in the eye,

and both had severe pins and needles sensations and could not drive

for 3 weeks.. really couldn't do anything till it was erradicated.

Mega painfull.

I would be very surprised if you could have a low level yeast

infection in the eye, which never became full blown

.... but - if you have data showing subclinical yeast infection of

the eye is possible - let me know.

Most all my ocular problems from Lyme were internal to the eyeball.

Dry eye, sore to look up, down, left or right, light sensitive,

posterior and anterior Uveitis, visual disturbances, partial visual

field loss, color perception changes.. and of course almost constant

headache.
