Maybe somebody here can help me. I'm so anxious to get started on long term Lyme/coinfection treatment but I have candida that needs to be taken care of that probably plays into my herxing/detox issues while on abx.
I can't take difulcan or that class bc it interacts W my asthma meds and with xanax. I want to be able to take xanax when I need it b/c bad panic attacks have been a symptom esp when herxing. I tried nystatin for a couple weeks n couldn't breathe well the whole time come to find out Its made from mold n I'm very allergic to molds. My doc has been no help and basically said sorry idk what you should do bc there 'are no other safe or effective treatments'
From my own research and talking to a pharmacist I have found 3 options.. Use natural herbs in 'candida support' (caprylic acid, oregano oil, pau darco black walnut) ... I also found the prescript
ions flucytosine and caspofungin.. The 2nd one seems to only be given by IV tho.
I don't get why my doc is acting this way and I need answers or an alternate scrip ASAP.
---Has anyone used flucytosine or caspofungin? Do they only give the caspofungin at a hospital or can you go somewhere for IV treatment?
--- has anyone cured their candida with herbal supplements like these/diet? I hear some herbs like oregano n black walnut are bad for your organs 'long term' ... But what is long term??
----does anyone know if u can take xanax with oregano oil or tried it? I worry about
drug-herb interactions n one site lists it as an interaction. I'd really like to be able to take the xanax when having bad panic attacks.
If u have any advice or answers I'd appreciate it thanks
