Extreme Oversensitivity
I have had candida for many years and twelve years ago when a practitioner told me to stop taking probiotics and I did so I suddenly found myself totally unable to take almost any vitamins, minerals, anti-fungals, medications, etc. - any pills (including anything in liquid form). Now the candida is causing a chronic viral infection for 1.5 years and other complications and I must try to get the candida reduced. Can anyone tell me how they cope with or coped with severe, I am talking severe, oversensitivity? I could not even drink alkaline water without a reaction. The reaction I get is in my chest and then I cannot sleep. It feels as though someone has twisted my chest with a wrench slightly or more depending on how much of a supplement I have taken. Then I have to go off of it for several days. I have been off work four months trying to resolve virus which I finally realized will not resolve without some address to candida. Thank you. DianeMarie
Hi DianeMarie,
It sounds like you're in an impossible situation. It's hard to know what to recommend really so all I can offer is the knowledge that you are not alone. I have been struggling to rid myself of the scurge that is Candida for 10 years now to no avail. My problem is that my nervous system is acutely sensitive to the toxins released when I use any antifungals (medications or natural) or probiotics to kill the Candida. I experience burning sensations in my skin, especially on my scalp and around my eyes which I attribute to overactive nerves as I also experience symptoms including extreme irritability, restlessness, muscle tension, and feelings of anger and aggression at the same time.
One doctor who I believe may be able to help you however is Dr. William Rea. He has helped thousands of people overcome sensitivities such as those you describe. You can contact him from his website - [URL=http://www.ehcd.com/]Environmental Health Center - Dallas[/url].
Also, have a read of one of his articles I have just posted which describes what he does at his clinic. The article includes case studies of patient's he's treated: Environmentally Triggered Diseases.
