Bad day today. Is it because I'm off antibiotics?

I had a pretty bad day today and I'm more upset than usual. I lost my keys in the snow and I was crying about it lol. I also fell outside, I think from exhaustion.

I am so tired. My joints are hurting, my lymph nodes or something on the sides of my neck are killing me, my knees, double vision, pressure behind my eyes, and a million other things are really strong today. I'm in such a bad mood. We had a party planned, and I didn't feel like doing anything today. I am very irritable and it's not like me.

I've been off antibiotics since Monday night to treat candida in my mouth. I'm supposed to restart tomorrow if it's gone, but it's still pretty white in my mouth. I tried the hydrogen peroxide and brushing it off. I've been sucking on probiotic pills all day. I couldn't find any grapefruit seed extract locally. I don't know what to do if my mouth is still white tomorrow. Should I restart antibiotics and keep taking Nystatin? Stop Nystatin and take antibiotics? Prolong restarting?

Why would I get this way off antibiotics? When I first went on them, things got much worse and stayed that way even after I went off on Monday. Now today the symptoms are increasing even more and I'm not even taking anything but Nystatin! I thought maybe a Candida herx, but that seems unlikely to me since the infection was only in my mouth/esophagus for about a week and I never had any previous problems with it.

I don't know. The increase to another level of severity just started today. It's not the "time of the month" for me, so unless Lyme is messing something else up........ I'm not sure.

The Candida can be causing those symptoms, to be honest. Are you drinking tons of water to flush all of this out?

Might want to step up your detox regimen.

The diflucan can be of help if this Candida infection has gotten out of hand. It is hard on the liver, but your doctor will know if it is suitable for you. Give the doctor a call, so you can address this and get back on the abx and on your way.

Hope you can get this in hand soon.

Well, I still feel pretty bad today. My muscles are really hurting me all of a sudden and that's not usually one of my most bothersome symptoms.

Some good news though........ My tongue is less white lol. I tried antiseptic mouthwash yesterday, hydrogen peroxide, a new probiotic, rinsed my mouth with Kefir before I went to sleep etc. Today I found some grapefruit seed extract at the store and I just tried that to see if I can get it to go away completely so I can restart antibiotics tonight. Thanks for the suggestions yesterday! I was not seeing any progress with the Nystatin alone unless it normally takes 3 days to see a difference.

I felt stupid enough calling the office about the swallowing issue/white tongue earlier this week lol. I never thought I'd have to have that conversation in my life I was worried the throat issue might be an allergy though so I thought I'd better check with them.

I think I'll wait to bring up the other stuff. I have so many symptoms right now that I feel like a chronic complainer all the time. I don't even like to bring them all up at my appointments. I make charts instead and just hand them in lol.
