yeast and MS and Lyme?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

y093666's posting has made me sit up and take notice.

As I have mentioned before, my 19-yr-old daughter started LDN in May,

2008 after having tried Betaferon, Copaxone and too much solumedrol.

She has progressively climbed to 4.5mg, and seems to me to have more

energy (altho she disagrees). On the negative side, she has had a

progressive " pins & needles " sensation starting in her right foot which

has climbed up her leg and to her torso, as well as a complete lack of

sensation in her left foot. She feels awful. This community has kindly

written back suggesting patience, Neurontin, vitamin D, diet

modifications.

About 1 month ago, daughter started getting a non-itchy rash on her

face which we thought was simply irritation from new boyfriend's

beard;) Dermatologist consulted " thinks " that the rash is fungal. He

gave her an anti-fungal cream and although the rash is much better

after one week, it is certainly far from cleared up. The weather is

extremely hot and humid...ideal for yeast.

I'm wondering if this " fungal " eruption could indicate some more

profound yeast stuff and perhaps explain why my daughter feels she is

getting so much worse on LDN.

We live in Japan. Daughter was diagnosed with MS here in 1/2005. Blood

was sent to some lab in the US for Lyme testing but I have no idea

what kind of test was used...result was negative.

We are quite alone in all this as we don't really have a PCP here in

Tokyo who can help us. In Boston, where my daughter is a student, her

PCP is the university health center and her MS neurologist fired her

when she asked for LDN. She got the LDN from a phone consultation

doctor who was kind enough to write the prescription, but there is

certainly no relationship.

Daughter's diet is quite good here in Japan. Although she does eat

some wheat and dairy, she does not eat much of either but does eat a

lot of fresh fruit and veg. Diet in Boston is unfortunately much more

the standard American diet.

Daughter goes back to Boston in 10 days. I have no idea what to do

next. Find another dermatologist, a lyme specialist, a new

neurologist, a helpful PCP? I would appreciate any advice you may have.

thanks for all your support,

McCandless protocol for candida. AFter doing Nystatin for many months

and a strict candida diet for 5 months...I found found my neuro

symptoms improved but continue and fungal skin infecton on back has

spread really badly on my back this summer. My alternatively minded GP

supports me fully in everything I've done and now suggests I may have

systemic yeast problem and wants to go with diflucan. He now agreees

that the fungal infection on my back with coincided with neuro

symptoms which began 2 years ago (brain fog, shaking, twitching, optic

neuropathy), may indeed be related...
