I imagine it is worse in the summer because of higher humidity. My first

allergy test (in my early teens, I'm 27 now) showed that I was allergic to

everything except food!

Wow thanks for sharing. I need to get X-rays of my sinus cavities as well,

I had sinus infections most of my youth! The only information I've read on

fungus balls were ones created by the fungus aspergillus which has much

different symptoms than candida. I just did a quick search and it seems

candida can cause them as well but this isn't as common.

Sorry I don't have any information to add related to what your going

through. If you have candida problems you should evaluate your lifestyle.

What do you eat? Do you smoke? Do you exercise?

I had fungal sinustis, but not a fungus ball, but I do know what you

are talking about. if you are interested in treatments other than

standard medical treatment, which will be to attack the fungus without

considering how it got there, I can offer some general points.

the fungus in your sinus is a symptom of broader problems in your

body, including a malfunctioning digestive system, clogged liver, and

overburdened toxic body. the key is to cleanse the body, remove any

toxic influences (processed food, chemicals ect) and work on

rejuvenating your body. www.curezone.com is a great place to start

(read about the cleanses). and for one stop shopping, s

Moritz's book " key to health and rejuvnation " has the most useful

information I have found, set out in an easy to understand approach.

Grrr, I hope someone addressed this poor woman who's been put on the whole

medicine cabinet. I'm shuddering just thinking about it & the mention of

surgery made me weep.

Don't cut yourself open my dear. Love your body.

I can't STAND conventional doctors !!!!!!

Does anyone know anything about a fungus ball in your

sinus cavity

Hi,

I am new to the group and have done the spit test which was positive for

candidiasis. I started having a severe itching problem and have been bothered

by

it now for a couple of years now on and off. It seems to be worse in the

summer so I was just chalking it up to the fact that it must be allergies or

something I was allergic to. A couple of weeks ago I was so bothered by

itching I

made an appoitment with the allergy doctor. When I went he tested me for a

lot of things that I seem to be allergic to. First off I am allergic to my

cat

and also a lot of different molds and fungus. I had a bad reaction to it.

He also did a x-ray of my sinus cavity. One side was clear and normal but the

other side you could see was all clogged up even though I have no symptoms and

have not been bothered by it. He said it was chronic sinutitus. He said it

may be a fungus ball so he put me on 20 days of antibiotics,

prednasone,celluair,rhinocourt,allegra-D,a medicated lotion with

hydrocortazone in it, and told

me to use afrin also. Also I have been taking the proviatic 8 and parasweep

cleaning so I am on a ton of medication right now. I got on the internet to

do some researching and found out that a fungus ball can be related to

candidiasis and can cause serious health affects to your body and even death

in some

cases. I am suppose to go back in a month once I am done with all of this

medicine and if I am not better then he said I might have to take an allergy

shot.

I was just wondering if maybe any of you had ever heard of a fungus ball and

maybe any of you had ever had any experiences with anything like that? It

says it can even go into your brain. It does not sound good at all. I just

hope that all of this medicine I am on does something to get rid of it. From

what I have been reading surgery is an option also if it does not go away.

After

all of this medicine I am taking, the itching still has not stopped and is

about to drive me nuts trying to get some relief.

I agree! I used to be in the vulvodynia

newsgroup and these poor souls are not really as

advanced in thinking as this group (this was also

where I came as a next step). Many of them have

suffered with constant pain and inflammation for even

40-50 years. They are put on anti-depressants,

Diflucan, have surgery " down there " , take

anti-anflammitory drugs, are called crazy, etc.

Reading all this every day made me so sad and kept me

away from allopathic doctors for good because most of

these poor souls reported that they were even worse

than before. No one there was actually " better " . I'm

glad I found this group and the " leakygut " group...

otherwise I might still be waiting 6 months to see

another specialist doctor *sigh*

*8-)
