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 HIV-type doses of it with no effect. So my ID 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 an ID consult. We have a drop-in ID 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.
