Guest guest Posted May 25, 2003 Report Share Posted May 25, 2003 I just joined. I'm in need of some help! I haven't been diagnosed really with anything, but according to my personal research, I'm figuring I have a yeast overgrowth. I have symptoms consistent with yeast, however.. What has me so confused is all this symptom overlapping. It also would look like I have CFIDS. Do most of you feel like this is you, too? FYI - I'm 36, have been excruciatingly exhausted for a few months now and it has left me debilitated. I have irritable bowel, aching joints, some occasional numbness in my hands, frequent sinus infections (and therefore frequent antibiotics; which I stopped), depression, and on and on... I told my doctor what I thought I had and he put me on Nystatin. Am I on the right track? What do I do? Someone, please answer me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hi I was diagnosed with M.E./CFIDS 7 years ago and about 4 yrs ago started with candida symptoms with thrush initally and it became systemic (affecting the whole body) It's so hard to tell the difference between M.E./CFIDS and candida and now just to complicate things further I think I am hypothyroid. I would get your thyroid checked as Candida and thyroid often go hand in hand. Go to www.about.com/thyroid for info, the forums on there are very helpful. Worth checking out as thyroid can cause so many symptoms similar to candida and CFIDS Regards Jane Soooo Confused > I just joined. I'm in need of some help!
