Re: Maureen / Your yeast infection

[Guest guest]

Suzy,

Yes, I went to see last Tuesday and she did confirm that it was

yeast during the appointment. She told me to take 200 mg. of nizoral

1x per day for 7-10 days. My regular gyn. had told me to take 200 mg

2x per day, but said that is too much. Yes, I weigh about 85

pounds. However, I got sick right after that with a virus and was

feeling crappy all week. Actually, I still don't feel like myself

yet, but decided to take the nizoral tonight. So, I just started

it. I didn't call 's office to see if the lab report is back.

Would they know this by now (it is only a week)? I go back to see

her next Thursday (which by then I should have all 7-10 days of the

nizoral) and she will culture me again. I have been using topical

nizoral, and that has definitely helped with my irritation. I never

tried acupuncture. There is a nurse right near me who does NAET, but

she uses acupressure, not acupuncture.

What kind of yeast did you have when you took the nizoral? Had you

tried anything else before that? Did you also take a probiotic with

it?

I will keep you posted. Love, Maureen

Suzy,

I go back to see next Thursday, so maybe the lab results will

be back by then. I am going to stop by my doctor's office today to

pick up a script for a urinalysis to check to make sure I don't have

a kidney infection. I don't think it is (it is probably just some

sort of stomach flu that I can't shake), but better to be safe about

it. Maybe I have some kind of yeast like you had. I really don't

have an visible discharge - it is the outside skin that is very

irritated. Who knows though. I will let you know. I hope that I

am able to keep treating it with the nizoral (as long as my stomach

can cooperate!) and get rid of it.

I was thinking of seeing the NAET practitioner just to try it out.

HOwever, everyone I have heard who has used NAET uses it with

acupuncture, and she said she just does the acupressure. So, that

confused me a little. She described it to me as kinesiology to test

what you are having an allergic reaction to, and then desensitizing

through acupressure and avoidance for 24-48 hours I think. Does

this sound what your NAET practitioner does?

Thanks, Maureen

Candi,

I went to a chiropractor in the summer for kinesiology. Believe it

or not, and don't think I am a nut, he was recommended by a psychic

who I see once a year (and is awesome - her readings are

unbelievable). He used applied kinesiology to test me for food

allergies, and a couple of other " stomach/fatigue " related things.

I didn't even get into the vestibulitis with him. He diagnosed me

with leaky gut syndrome, open illocecal valve, and not digesting

protein correcting, thus causing my fatigue. I was supposed to take

three different supplements, etc. I never pursued it further though.

It was very interesting though. I was amazed how I would lose all

strength in my arm at different times, and other times had complete

strength. I was completely skeptical about the whole thing, and

never pursued his plan - just too many things going on then anyway,

but it was interesting.

My stomach is still bothering me. No more vomiting, just diarhea

and cramps (stomach and back) all of the time. I was able to start

the nizoral though, so I should be able to get at least the 7 days

in before I see next week, so she can re-test me for yeast. I

did go to the lab last night to make sure it is not a kidney

infection, so hopefully will know something soon. I don't think it

is that, but it is better to be safe than sorry. MOre than likely,

this is another one of my stomach issues! I have been on a gluten

free diet for three months now, and instead of getting better, I

have a horrible yeast infection and more stomach issues! It is just

not fair! I should be getting better!

Niki,

The NAET practitioner near me doesn't use acupuncture at all though,

just acupressure. Have you always heard of it with acupuncture?
