Custom-made meds for fungus amungus

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been a fungus factory for the last 5 years. I became resistant to

fluconozole and I was taking really big doses of it with no effect. So my

infectious disease doc prescribed custom-made losenges or " troches " . I get them

made at a compounding specialty pharmacy where I also get my xolair. They put

amphotericin B in a little raspberry chewy candy that melts in my mouth. Ampho B

is a hardcore IV antifungual with horrific side effects but taken topically, it

is not absorbed, it just kills the buggers. My fungus is constantly evolving

(new life forms in the back of my throat) so now I alternate btw ampho B and

clotrimazole losenges. I also try to rinse like a nutbar. They do make vaginal

suppositories with the same antifungal in them. Same principle only different

hole (sorry Doug!).

There are other treatments for recurrent vaginal infections so do see your gyne

and if they cant culture, ask for a consult to infectious disease or immunology.

We have a drop-in clinic (mostly for STD checks) so when my yeast gets crazy and

I think it's no longer sensitive, I go for another swabbing....

ps You can get OTC lactobacillus pills that have the same bacteria as in

yogurt. Those work too for some ppl.

pps I understand you may not have infectious disease doctors in the US. I guess

the ppl to see is immunology. In Canada, allergy and immunology are the same

person.
