And refresh my memory of you main symptoms--I think you had issues with disbiosis? Anyway, this info would help.

Hi Shroom,
I started getting asthma when I was a small child, then it went away until, you guessed it, I got candida. Before I knew it was candida, I just felt constantly like I could not get enough air. Now, if I eat a food I don't tolerate well, I can get wheezy. It is almost non-existent when I am in a good space and do not have a high level of candida in me, but if I get a bit of an overgrowth, or if I am detoxing too quickly for my liver to keep up, I do get some wheezing after eating things. Over the past 3-ish years of candida treatment, this symptom would wax and wane, depending on my level of candida or toxicity (from over treating). During my first huge die off 3 years ago, I went through a period of time when I would wake 2-3 times in the night, gasping for breath, and would have to go into the bathroom (so as not to disturn hubby) and just sit there for about 45 minutes while taking puff after puff (like, 15 puffs) of my rescue inhaler, all the while coughing and spewing this white foamy metalic tasting stuff from my lungs, until I could breathe well enough to get back to sleep (until I woke again a few hours later with same thing going on). It was very scary - I could hardly catch my breath at all. So, clearly I had candida in my lungs. Since then, I have gone through other die off periods and this same thing would happen, but to a much lesser and lesser degree each time. Now it does not happen when I detox, I can sleep through, but will notice some congestion when I wake in the morning. I also get sinus stuff under the same circumstances. Before candida diagnosis, I would get major sinus headaches and congestion. I now get a few sniffles. . .
Yes, you are right - major dysbiosis, including heartburn, reflux, growling, foul gas, IBS, and 24/7 nausea, etc. was my #1 candida complaint. It went away 100% for a long time. I had a recent resurge of candida (stupid me - started smoking again, and was eating a lot of dark chocolate cause a little was fine, but then a little turned into daily. . . I could kick myself), so am now trying to beat it back thru alkalizing, which seems to be helping greatly (I won't touch antifungals now because they are too hard on my liver, which is impaired greatly from all the over-use of antifungals I did, and besides, I believe the answer is lifestyle change not killing, at least for me).
I do get insomnia if I get too toxic, which can happen for a couple of reasons, such as eating a food I am highly allergic to (tho there are not too many of those anymore, TG) or if I get too strong a die off. After that settles (usually only lasts a day or 2), I go thru a period of a few days where all I want to do is sleep (damn this "job" thing! - I bet I would be so much better if I didn't have to work and could spend all day just doing treatments and resting, but alas, lol).
As for sex drive, that is a direct result of liver. When my liver is not in good shape, nothing can turn me on. I feel dead. When things start getting back into good form, liver wise, the desires begin to re-emerge, which is fun :) The body will forgo that which is least necessary for survival (sex) when it is trying to deal with more pressing issues (like healing) and needs its energy reserve.
Hope that helps!

MoreThis is a reply to # 302,274Yes, unfortuantely I started getting them after I did several flushes. I haven't been able to find a way to get rid of them yet and this is going on almost 2 years now. Through my nutritional pharmacist the attacks are less severe now, but I still get them and am in significant pain most of the time. I think what happened was that the first flushes I did shifted things around in there now and I have larger stones either coming forward or causing the gallbladder to spasm.
I would say if you are going to flush, make sure you do all the proper preperations and you will be fine. I am a very rare case indeed.- Re: What can I share? shroom

Have had chronic post nasal drip for the past 4 years - conincidentally at the same time I started becoming hypothyroid, difficulty breathing in hot enviorments either dry or humid, always feel like my lungs are "full", nasal congestion and constant sneezing. I actually do not suffer with seasonal allergies, and I never have yet suddenly I constantly have a runny nose. I noticed that the more garbage I ate, the more my nose ran. I've cut back on the processed and refined foods and the runny nose has stopped, but I now getting my first ever sinus infections that I cannot get rid of. I always feel like my ears are clogged. Like I am hearing through cotton. I almost continuously have pain in my right side, gallbladder/liver region that no matter what I do I cannot get rid of. I think this pain is the worst thing right nwo, it gets so bad that i atually have to grip the steering wheel (or what ever other object is at hand) until my knuckles turn white and I am gasping for breath. Had a ultrasound done and they found no gallstones even though I had gotten on out the size of a whole walnut in the shell a 2 years ago on day one of a master cleanse program just by drinking the salt water flush. Sexual health - I went from having a extremely healthy libdo (read 2-3 times daily either with a partner or alone), always having sex foremost in the brain, a very open-minded uninhibited attitude {you know the kind... whereever - whenever} to zero drive - I mean zero, nada, zip, zilch. It started as intercourse becoming physically uncomfortable, to sometimes painful, and zoomed quickly into decreased drive and is now something that I dont want or care for any more. I rarely think about it any more and have no desire to have it. In some ways even repulsed by it. The laugh of all this is - I am female and have always had a stronger drive then any of the men I dated, never found anyone who could keep up. Now - I'm single because my last boyfriend couldnt handle the health issues and didnt want to remain celibate for years on end. I've gone with out for over 3 years and frankly dont think I will change back to how I was before. I feel sexually dead. That in itself is a huge issue for me as I used to be a very happily sexual person - I feel like someone took away a huge part of me that I will never get back. oh and to top all of this off, even though I eat 1500-1800 calories a day and try to exercise 3 days a week {challenging now due to pain in feet and back from weight gain} I gained 90 pounds in a 9 month peroid of time. No matter what I try or do, I cannot lose the weight. I've tried portion controlled meals (all whole foods - nothing processed), I've tried a liquid protien diet, I've tried eating raw only to watch my weight go up consistently by a pound or two pounds a week!!- Re: What can I share? shroom

This is a reply to # 302,354Yep. Fungal infections target the MC3 receptor. This would account for sex-drive, and other hormonal areas like appetite, and sleep patterns. This means there is a strong neurological thing going on. -------------------Shroom- Interesting you say that... KEF

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 302,372I found out that I spent about 4 years living in an apartment filled with mold - I mean everywhere under the carpets, in the walls, in the ceiling. During that time I felt fine, was in my mid to late 20's. Went out drinking every weekend and was a smoker. Smoked about a pack and a half a day.
I quit smoking while living there - then moved into a new apartment a year after I was smoke free. About a year after living there I had the worst pain in the world in my lower back. I had never had any back issues what so ever, and out of the blue I was in intense pain from siatic nerve being pinched etc. Couldn't walk or even stand. That was what I term the begining of the end.
I started with terrible insomnia about 2 years after I stopped smoking (so the insominia is going back about 7 years now). I would fall asleep fine and the wake up every hour to hour to 2 hours.
The next thing that started was jock itch, ringworm and athlete's foot. PMS became insanely bad. Had constant rage, sex drive very quickly dropped off to nothing. After that the muscles of my lower back went into permanent spasms that I had to have steriod/saline injections into to help release them. Also had multiple rounds of cortizone shots into the spine for the back pain. My face and neck muscles spasmed next. I couldnt breath, literally. My whole throat spasmed almost shut. for this I was diagnosed with... get this... a sinus infection! even though I had never had one before in my life and had no mucus or discharge, even an ENT specialist stuck a camera up my sinuses and saw no infection (found out when I requested my medical records) but was give predizone for 6 months... that's right... 6 months! The doctor had the balls to tell me when I complained about wegith gain that I obviously couldnt keep food out of my mouth as other people never gained weight on predizone. I was gaining a pound a day. oh and during all this my menstrual cycle decided that it wanted to shorten itself to 9 days. Yup, for 9 months I was getting my period every 9 days and it would last 10-14 days each time.
Shortly after this I was diagonsed with Hypothyroidism by my very open minded osteopath. Started thyroid meds and was feeling pretty good although the weight didnt come off. that was Jan of 04. Sept of 04 I had a complete crash. My body stopped metabolising hte medication completely. I gained 35 pounds in 4 weeks. Sonce then I have been fighting to get to where I can function as a person again. Only thing that has helped me so far is the nutritional pharmacist I met who is working with me on a micronutrient level. I can almost stay awake for 10 hours at a time now.

Actually, I thought about this a lot and want to ammend this post in case you read it to say that I think you might want to try getting your thyroid/adrenals supported with the proper supplements and meds and then look to correcting the root cause. When I was very hypothyroid I was too exhausted to recover my health without taking hormone replacement -- not to mention it saved my sanity. I sense your anger about this issue from your reply, but I do think it is beneficial to try hormone balancing first.
If you haven't tried different combinations of T4/T3, you might want to work with a doctor who is more openminded and believes in addressing adrenals too -- assuming yours doesn't as 90% of them don't. It is key to get all the proper tests (assuming you havent') TSH, Free T4/Free T3, antibodies and adrenals to start. I purposely looked for a holistic doc who works with thyroid and other chronic conditions and he was a godsend. Gallbladder/ Liver Flushing (with the Hulda Clark e flush) was KEY to me absolutely and still is key. Not all the stones and sludge show up on an ultrasound.
Also, there are big connections between congested gallbladder and hypothyroid, and allergies and hypothyroid, and Candida and hypothryoid, and celiac or other food intolerances (not allergies, intolerances) and hypothyroid, and nutrient imbalances and hypothyroid -- so if you haven't look into all those things you might want to. I had to address ALL of the above issues before my health totally rebalanced and I'm still on a grain of Armour a day now & trying to wean off, but I'd rather stay on it than every be hypo again.
If you Google Mary Shomon she has a lot of good online info about thyroid and related holistic and allopathic treatments. I've learned a lot from her on thyroid.about.com.
Another good holistic site is http://www.sensiblehealth.com -- she talks about thryoid and liver/gallbladder on the site. I do think that is the main connection for me and that site was very helpful.
Also askshelley.com has been helpful to me, as well as curezone of course.
Blessings and good luck in healing, I know how devastating it is to lose your sex drive and that broke up my relationship with the man I hoped to marry, so I totally understand.

This is a reply to # 302,436I stated in the first line of the post that I am hypothyroid. The weight gain actually has come after I was diagnosed and was being treated with medication. There has been absolutely no improvement and actually worsening of all symptoms since being treated.
Not everything is cured by taking thyroid meds. There are thousands upon thousands of patients that remain symptomatic after starting thyroid mediacation therapies which is indicative of other issues.

When I was doing cardio outside this winter it would happen too, I dunno if it comes from body heat vs. cold tip of nose.
I think it been happening all my life... I used to think it was normal.
I think it is called temperature rhinitis. Symptoms are very mild, I just make sure I always carry a facial tissue in my pocket.

No. This would not qualify what i am looking for. I'm looking for those who have serious chronic problems with lungs or bronchial airways. I'm just looking for feed-back to see how fungus-type sickness can affect certain tissues and the immune-responses involved. Shroom

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 302,274Shroom,
I am guessing you're wanting to hear about symptoms. When mine started to get bad, I thought the reason was some new carpet outgassing - which was making me sick - it just wasn't the root of the problem. I have always had a tendency to get a throat infection and stopped up ear on my right side. The ear issue will happen during allergy season or when I have a cold (blocked with bubbling sounds)or if I am around chemicals.
As things progressed, I became allergic to shampoo, cosmetics, hair products, soaps etc. There was a period that I was shampooing with castille soap (did I look rough). Every time I took a shower, it would take hours for the redness on my face to go away. At its worse, if I were going somewhere, I would have to bath hours before. Also, my eyes became very sensitive.
Then I had a breakthrough. I got my Amalgams out. Almost immediately, the extreme sensitivity began to subside. Then I got a gold crown out and got even more good results.
To date, I have chelated with DMPS and had the cavitation surgery and notice that my skin's sensitivity is nearly gone. However, I still suffer with the ear and the blocked nose issue that worsens with the allergy season and I still have a low tolerance for artificial or chemical odors. I also live in La. and even though I live 2 hrs from N.O. and about 45 minutes from other areas hit, I wonder if there are mold spores being carried in the wind that could be exacerbating the allergies - I know I am allergic to mold. (Do you think that this could have an effect?)
As far as food allergies go, I have never been tested but know I must have a sensitivity to wheat and corn. My diet is pretty limited right now - veggies, fish and a little animal protein, buckwheat and quinoa, green apples and lots of cinnamon. My digestive issues really only started at the first of the year. Before that, even though I am sure I had candida in the ear, throat, sinuses and oral thrush, I was not having any bloating or gurgling or cramps/tightness in the gut and life was more liveable. Intersting enough, about a month ago, I did a 9 day Water Fast and put the little buggers on the run. During that time, my stomach was flat and felt normal (albeit empty) and I never sneezed nor sniffled once the whole time. When I would wake up in the morning, my ear and nasal passages were crystal clear.
I hope this is the sort of thing you were wanting to know.
Cheers,
Melissa

I suffer from acute sinus pain, espicially around my period. It is usually located on one side of my head and my both my ears feel permanently blocked. I too suffer more pressure in summer months and runny nose in winter months.
I have been doing the Candiida diet and cleansing with Oxypowder and Candigest for the past month or so. Seen a lot of improvements. But ears still feel blocked. On/off sinus pain but not as bad as it was.
