Stress is one of the things I am still struggling with. Its one

thing to get rid of candida, but another to change the way you see

yourself and life to elimnate long standing stress. Meditation and

exercise are probably key here. I have been practicing medidtion as

advocated by s Moritz in some of his books, but I'm sure other

types of meditation are just as applicable. More important probably

is finding out why the stress exists in the first place. this takes

some real soul searching, and I am still working on it.

I am new to all of this too. I recently discovered that all of my

problems were caused by candida, but I didn't know that stress could

cause it. I had never had antibiotics, birth control pills, or other

things that cause candida. I got it during my 6th month of my 2nd

pregnancy. During this time my husband lost his job and health

insurrance. We were in the middle of buying a house, it was

Christmas, and I was getting closer to my due date (we were also

renting an apartment next to drug dealers). I cried every night for

over a month, until my dh was able to get another job. We luckily

got the house, but things went wrong there and I ended up packing,

unpacking, and packing again. Then we moved, and a couple of weeks

later I had my baby. I KNOW my candida was caused by stress.

Luckily, my stress is gone now that my dh has a job and we are in

our house. I just have to focus on getting rid of this candida now.

I finally found a Dr. who knows what candida is and am currently on

the diet and treatment. If you need a referal to a Dr. in your area,

I know a place that can help you. It would probably also help you to

have counseling too.

My best days are the days that I am serving others, because I forget

about my own problems. Sometimes it is nice to help others because

you focus on their problems and not your own. Anyway, keep posting

and maybe we can work through this together!

hi sheree,

Someone posted this link the other day that i bookmarked (sorry don't

remember who). if you scroll to the bottom of the page, there's a map

of the US (I hope you're in the US). Select your state, and you can

get a list of yeast/candida aware doctors. I have not tried this site

- nor do I endorse it. I saved it in case I decide to go back to

seeing doctors. I've been doing ok so far just by doing research and

reading info. from this list. I'm considering seeing a naturopath, but

that's an expense I cannot meet right now.

Anyways, I figure this may be a good start for you. It's always best

to talk to the doctor before setting up an appointment, ask questions

and find out what they really know. Good Luck.
