Kim - Did you take any antifungal drugs like Diflucan or Nystatin or did you take probiotics/acidophilus??? Or, did you just primarily change your diet? I know it is a long process and I'm not taking anything like Candex - can't risk having Herxhimer?? reaction now that I'm back in school... I think this is still a realitvely unexplored area by the mainstream medical profession - just as they have only, within the last few years, recognized IBS as a disease. For years I was told "it's all in your head... you have to learn to control your emotions...". One ENT I saw could not speak English very well and when I mentioned my bloodwork showed candida antibodies (I understand that the same thing as it showing measles antibodies - just that I've had it at one time) he screamed at me "You no have candida! You have it in your blood, you die!!!!" I asked him to quit because he was scaring me. But, he just did not understand the correlation. My general practitioner has worked with many AIDS/HIV patients who are diagnosed with chronic candida or systemic candida and, unfortunately, it can kill them. My mind is getting fuzzy from all this thinking! Have you started back to school yet? If not, good luck! If so, hang in there! - Dorothy
