Hi,

Bit of background to my story. I am a 26 year old male and i had fungus on one toenail since i was about 18 prob but because it conincedently started after an injury to the toe playing football and it was not sore i thought it was nothing that needed treatment. the first candida symptom i noticed was in January 2007 - this was unexplainably itchy, burning armpits which were present nearly all the time, around this time i also noticed my nose was constantly blocked up with green gunge and the insides of my nostrils were always sore and stingy to touch. I went to the doc who gave me some cream (this did not help in any way) i put it down to my imagination at this point and decided to live with it. Things got worse just before Christmas 2007 i had a recuring ear infection which was treated with Antibiotics , these cleared up the ear infection but around january 2008 i got up to got to work one monday morning and by the time i got to the bathroom for a shower i felt dizzy and nauseated to an extent ive never felt before in my life. took the day off work and went to doc who says ive a mild case of vertigo, he gave me stemital tablets to help the nausea which at first seemed to help but in the coming weeks they gave me no relief from the constant nausea i felt. everytime i thought about eating i felt sick...this could not go on and i turned to the internet for support as the doc would not do anything, internet scared me even more and convinced myself i had cancer, hiv etc when typing my symptoms into google etc.. obviously by this stage i thought i was dying and asked the doc to test me for all major deaseases he could do....blood test after test came back negative and although i was greatfull that it wasnt something major i was frustrated that the doc was saying i was fine but i felt awful...next i found this forum and everything seemed to match up to my symptoms plus someone had mentioned the toenail connectiion...i showed the doc my toenails and he sent a clippping away for tests which confirmed i had toenail fungus...he prescrided me 9 months of lammisil tablets and when i mentioned i thought the fungus was in more than my toes and that this forum had told me to alter diest he claimed that was nonsense and no need to alter diet etc. I didnt agree and at this point (may 2008) i cut out all refined sugars, simple carbs etc and have been strict on the diet ever since...i also researched all the natural anti fungals and probiotics and have been on those also since may 2008...over the next few months all my symptoms cleared up and the toenail started to grow out normal and by august i felt as good as i ever have in my life!! this lasted until 6 weeks ago (when my last lamisil tablet was taking) since then even though im still on the strict diet and natural antifungals some of my symptoms are creeping back...the sinus/sore nose issues and the itchy skin....i feel pretty depressed as i thought i had beat this stubborn thing but it seems im regressing....my question is could my fillings be the underlying problem? i only have 2 silver filling and have had them about 5 years? i also have a couple of false teeth which are attached to the tooth next to them with some alloy of sorts (i asked the dentist did this contain mercury and she said no most likely not but couldnt say for sure as it was done by a previous dentist)...................i really feel the conditon has beat me and im in a situation were i cant see and light at the end of the tunnel anymore....
