Prescription Medications (Including: Diflucan, Nizoral and Nystatin)


I’ve taken 3 doses of Diflucan (saw no improvement), two weeks of Nizoral (saw no improvement) and the thing that has been the most helpful at getting my Candida under control - Nystatin.  Within two days of taking Nystatin, I could feel the die off symptoms begin.  Prior to die off… I always thought I was having die off, but when you really have it, you know it. I probably had about a month of die-off; I was out sick from work on several different days, and seriously thought my life was ending. However, I believe the Nystatin was vital for my initial die off.  My doctor prescribed enough for about 4 months. I tried Nizoral again and I was supposed to take that for a total of 3 months (to get the whole effect, I guess) but it hurt my stomach so much, I decided to stop taking it.  So… Currently, I regularly take:
o      Vitamin B12 Injections (twice a month) – seems to help?
o      Progesterone Cream (40mg) (nightly) – Definitely helps!
o      Vitamin D (50,000 IU) (twice a week) – seems to help?
o      Synthroid (50mcg) (1x daily) – seems to help?
