Re: Effectiveness of diflucan

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

With antifungals like Diflucan, etc, the candida builds up a resistance to

them which is why they stop working. I too was on Diflucan for years, to no

avail.

What most people here have found is that you need to use and rotate natural

antifungals, every 4 days. Some natural antifungals include Garlic, Pau D'Arco,

Grapefruit Seed Extract, etc.

Did you feel any better on Diflucan? I've heard that people often

have to be on an antifungal for weeks, not days. But it's hard to

get a doctor to prescribe an antifungal in that much volume. As for

the knees, I wake up every morning feeling like I've been hit by a

truck - all of my joints ache. And like you, I'm not used to

feeling so poor, but after suffering for 7 years, I've almost

forgotten what it feels like to be healthy. Good luck and I hope

you start feeling better.

I was told by my doctor, that I would need to be on antifungles for at least 6

months, and a different doctor told me that for every antibiotic that you take

you should take a antifungle.

I was trying just to lurk but I have to put my two cents worth in on this

one.

I had an open-ended prescription for Diflucan for years. And used off and

on for years. Sure, it would " cure " my vaginal yeast problems - for

awhile - but in time the Candida got systemic and the Diflucan lost its

effectiveness.

You're masking the symptoms with Diflucan. To get " control " you have to do

it the " natural " way.

Nystatin helped me and has no serious side effects. I took a teaspoon 4 times a

day it for two months.

Effectiveness of diflucan

Does anyone know what medicine I should ask for when I go back to my

doctor and tell him two doses of Diflucan plus Monistat did not

work. I have had this problem since July and it is starting to

depress me. I am eating lots of fresh garlic, taking acidolphilus,

selenium, garlic oil, chromium, C, E, A, B-complex, zinc (all from

Puritan's pride). I have ordered inulin, as well. I am not used to

having problems with my health. Right now, both my knees are

killing me. They are very sore - what I think 80 yrs old would

feel like. Is this a symptom of yeast? Thank you.

My unprofessional thoughts:

Diflucan goes into the bloodstream (unlike oral Nystatin which stays

in the gastointestinal tract), so it can be effective for

disseminated symptoms, however, I have been reading articles where

fungal infections are becoming resistant to fluconazole (Diflucan).

What did you mean by the " natural way " ? I'm kind of new to this

group, so I probably would already know this if I had been around

longer.
