Does flucanozle/diflucan cause bone pain?

I started flucanozle on monday for candida overgrowth. Since then I've been having dull, aching bone pain or muscle pain in my right shin area (from knee to ankle on down side of shin) and along my right forearm. I have had some pain in my left leg but its almost always been on my right side. I also had intense back pain the whole week (but that might've started during the weekend).
Today I also woke up with muscle twitching on right side of head and right side of rib cage that lasted a few hours.

How can i tell if the pain is bone or muscle pain? Its like a dull aching pain but when i press on it, its not like a sharp intense pain. It just remains dull.

And has anyone experienced this with flucanozole or diflucan? I looked on google and got almost NO results searching "flucanozole bone pain". Could it be caused by the candida itself, but how? And i did think it could be Bartonella (because of the shins) but my feet haven't really been hurting, and why/how would an anti fungal affect a bacteria? So I doubt it's bart.

afiya, I am sorry you are in so much pain.

I wonder if it could be a herx? When I first started treating candida, I herxed. You are killing off the candida and it may be making your body toxic.

Make sure you are detoxing a lot.

Hope it feels better soon.

Sounds like a herx to me as well. I would eat watermelon daily and see if that helped me detox better. The carbs in watermelon can be fermented into energy by yeasts, but while on antifungals, I wouldn't be as concerned. The benefit of hydration and nutrients outweighs the risk of additional yeast build up. Watermelon has a lot of beneficial nutrients and helps keep you hydrated.

There is an MD in Germany who claims to have cured himself of lyme using Diflucan, and he uses it on all his lyme patients now .. He claims the inhibition of the P450 incapacitates the borrelia

FWIW

Tommy08--

I, personally, don't think lyme can be "cured" but that our goals is to eliminate enough of the infection that our immune systems become dominant and we are mostly symptom-free.

Also, I had originally read from a couple of good sources that the link between "curing lyme" and diflucan were grossly misunderstood. Since then, I've come across some VERY interesting information that suggests a link. I haven't digested it fully but will return to this discussion when I can.

Thanks for posting--
