Sounds like you are making some progress… don't forget your binder. Maybe you can do it twice/day after antifungals. I also increased bur bur and pinella. Get those ethanol and other toxins out of your brain!
Also, when your sx/die off are at a manageable level, you can take more of the pills - you can probably increase up to 2 million units per day. But don't push it if it's too much.
The powder is sold by the manufacturer in a jar container, and that's what the pharmacy will sell to you - the pharmacy doesn't like splitting it into smaller batches because it has a 6 month shelf life. So that makes it a little expensive to try, but it usually works for people so it's worth it (although I hesitate to say that because there are always exceptions).
The name "Nystatin" comes from "New York State" where it was developed. My compounding pharmacist used to have an office that was across the street from the plant, which I thought was interesting. Two years ago, probably due to the increasing popularity of it, prices went up about 25%. My insurance co wouldn't cover it. Without insurance, it is about $85, which should get you through 4-6 wks as you're starting out, maybe longer depending on how quickly you titrate up.
