Question for J. (or fungally interested bystanders)

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Well, after running low on diflucan, which seems to have lost some

of its effectiveness anyway, I've developed a fungal overgrowth of

sorts. It's mainly invisible bumps on my arms and legs as well as

itching in my armpits and chest area (which gets quite annoying).

You can't see it, but I'm positive it's fungal, yeast, candida etc.,

because the anti-fungals make that go away.

Yesterday, my doc gave me a new anti-fungal called Vfend which some

people are raving about. It seems to be helping already. But I have

a couple of questions.

1. What do you think of this drug?

2. What do you think about taking it WITH Diflucan. My doc is very

opposed to the idea of taking 2 antifungals at once, but personally,

I want to nip this thing in the bud. The penicillin has been helping

me tremendously, but I don't like this sudden fungus thingy

happening, and don't want my gut to get all messed up, so any

insights you can share would be most appreciated.

thanks,

penny
