I just thought that I would post about my ogoing problem with itchy skin and my recent use of candex. perhaps others have had some experience?
For years ( about 20) I have had problems with candida, but last year I as on 3 antibiotics for 6 months nadd it was about this time my itchy skin started and i cannot seem to get rid of the problem. i was on nystatin - 9 tablets a day for 4 months and then diflucan for 3 weeks. All that did make me itchy and get very bad headaches, but my itch never went away completely and now 6 months down the track without any treatment, my itchy skin is worse than ever. My dr has tested my poo samles ( sorry!) and there is a candida called candida glabrata. She tells me that this is fairly resistant to treatment ( typical) and the best wasy to treat this is with candex.
Well, I have taken 1 candex tablet ( proer dose is 2 tabs am and 2 tabs pm) and the impact ws that the itching was immediately at an insane level- could not sleep. The next 2 days I reduced the dose to 1/2 tablet- I got bad nausea and itching after the 3 days continuos dosing, so I stopped for few days. However, i did notice that it improveed the coating on my tongue and it looked clearer than it has forever.
So last night ( after I had had a migraine and my tongue was gettiing coated looking again) I decided t brave it and take half a candex at night time- same thing intense itching and pretty bad fatigue and headpain. i know this is probably die off- but on such a low dose- perhaps my body load is relly out of control- which perhaps makes sense as i know I have immune deficiency.
I am thinking that I will try to split the dose into 1/4 tablet am and 1/4 pm and see what happens- alternately I culd start out on just 1/4 tabet a day and gradually build from there as I can tolerate.
has anyone gone thgou this experience and used this supplement- any thoughts?
Many thanks, Suzanne
