Hi, everyone.
I haven't been around for a little while but I thought I was going to give you an update on my health.
It seems that just as I was feeling a bit better (May 16), my dentist found a mild chronic infection under a root canal I had done many years ago. He had to redo the root canal and gave me Clindamycin to get rid of the infection. Surprisingly, the antibiotics made me feel a bit better. It also coincided with my vitamin D and iron levels getting back to what they should be. I was happy with my new health and things seemed fine until I reacted to a laundry detergent I had used. My son had forgotten to rinse it two more times, and the contact of my underwear onto my skin gave me a really bad reaction. It took me a while to realize what was happening, and by the time I figured it out, it was too late.
On may 26, I ended up with an infection which turned out to be Candida :-(
I believe the allergic reaction triggered the Candida. I'm pretty sure the antibiotics had already caused the yeast to multiply.
Not knowing what was going on, I waited a long time thinking I would get better.
June 11 - I had an emergency appointment with my GP who gave me the bad news: I have systemic candidiasis.
I am so sick now. I feel like I am not going to get back on my feet. It seems that I have relapsed big time.
My spirits are a bit low and I am trying to find a way to cheer up. I thought Dr. Vallings' book would do the trick. Have you read it? What did you think? Where can I get a copy? I live in Canada.
Thanks for your help,
BDF
