Die off?

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I just joined your group and in the last couple of days I got a lot

of answers to a lot of questions. Mostly because it is very well

organized. And thanks to UK Nick, he did a lot of research on that

diet, I am going to work with that one.

Now, I will try to keep this short, I have Candida mostly in the neck

and throat.Also my neck has turned a stained red which varies in

intensitie with pain. (my painometer) I have a substantial supply of

Nystatin suspension and Fluconazol pills. I was presribed these by a

doctor that I can no longer see because he does not take insurance

and my paying him $200 a week is impossible. I talked with my last

doctor who recently retired and he said not to take either without a

doctor monitoring liver/kidneys. He was also steadfast in his belief

that my teeth were the cause of this problem although he would not

give it the name of candida. The doctor that I cant afford gave it

that name after a fecal test. Well here is the dilemne. I had my

teeth removed a few weeks ago. All 26.They were loaded mercury

fillings and were in poor shape.

I was hoping after having them removed that this would magically

dissapear. Just another dissapointment. But just the opposite is

happening, My neck is swelling up more, It is so painful that I cant

move. The only way I could sleep last night was after 2 percocets

(left over from teeth removal) which dont do anything for the pain

but did allow me to sleep even if only for a few hours.Please dont

tell me to go to a doctor, I have seen most of the yellow pages and

was at one Tuesday, he took blood and said return in 3 months. SCREW

DOCTORS.

I am sure that my teeth had some to do with this, but I also had some

major shoulder surgeries. And I have taken more than my share of

Kenalog 40 and dosepaks(steroids and prednisone) So I believe that

also played a significant role. The pain that I have endured in the

last few days has been identical as to when this started 3 years ago.

It is literally paralyzing. And when I am coughing that stuff up,

that is the expedition from hell!

My bottom line question is this, what can I do short term to

alleviate this pain. Vodka and grapefruit dont work either. Also,

should I just take the Nystatin and Fluconazol? At this point, its

not like I have anything to lose just because I am not paying some

educated idiot to monitor my blood and maybe give me the results in a

few months. Also, due to my teeth being removed, I have lost 20

pounds since May 24th, I am kind of limited on what I can eat, but a

lot of eggs, soups pasta and fish. I dont see why that would cause

this sudden onset of pain, or is it possible that it is the " die-off "

from having my teeth yanked? Regaurdless, I would appreciate your

comments for short term relief.

Thanks, Ron

PS sorry so long, but this has been one hell of a ride and is awfully

hard to condense
