Common Questions and Answers about Sporanox and candida

sporanox

Avatar f tn I would not take lamisil ever again. It is notoriously hard on your liver. Sporanox is really bad for the liver also.
Avatar n tn About 5 months ago I started getting constantly severe burning in the perineum which was and still is red (though not excessively) and irritated. A lot of swabs were taken (I felt a burning sensation also internally when the swab was taken) and all that could be found was strep b and WBC >200. I was given antibitiocs for that but this did not help. Strep b was coming back; however even when I took the antibiotics and the strep b was not showing in the swab the burning was still present.
Avatar f tn I am really so upset and question what is the point of living if my life is going to be like this for the rest of my life. No one suffers from infections like I do. I feel so isolated and alone... I have eaten sporanox, diflucan, pessaries.. they will only make me feel better for two weeks and the symptoms will return. I would really appreciate any stories from anyone who have successfully battled such recurrent infections..
483814 tn?1214311480 Sounds like toenail fungus. Unfortunately the drugs that take care of it (lamasil and sporanox) are really harsh on your liver. Show your doc next time you're in the office. I wouldn't make a special trip unless its really bothering you. Meanwhile, don't file those nails, that spreads the fungus. It takes a long time to get rid of it. Good luck.
Avatar m tn I was Rx Sporanox pending liver function test. AST was normal, but ALT was 52 in a lab norm range of 2 - 45. I was told possibly elevated due to my 1600 - 2400 mg/dy of nsaids (Advil gel caps). ETOH consumption moderate. If I cut the nsaids, how long should I expect to wait to retest for a drop of 7 points on that ALT score? Is 45 really the high end of norm?
Avatar f tn I often wonder if some people that say they are gluten intolerant actually have candida and dont know it. If you have candida and eat gluten, you will feel uncomfortable. It would be easy to assume its the gluten making you feel bad- its the candida feasting on the gluten. Three-Lac is a great probiotic, the best by far, I have used it myself combined with a temporary candida diet and injesting natural anti-fungles (herbs) like NOW candida clear in capsules.
709686 tn?1277432159 I have been having weird aches and pains in my joints and muscles and am PRAYING it is the candida (although my dr says no science to that) and not some type of arthritis (I have been tested some and waiting on results of more testing.) I just posted a few minutes ago b/c I don't know if my newfound anxiety is causing the pains or if the pains are there and causing me anxiety b/c doctor can't figure out what's wrong!

Avatar n tn She's getting an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, to rule out diabetes. She should also be tested for Candida-her symptoms are consistent with Candida-, something that doctors don't usually look for. Beware that sometimes it's missed in their testing. You may look into having her do a screening self-test for Candida. Search under "Saliva test for Candida".
Avatar m tn Usually most of the times bloating and constipation occurs when after I masturbate and ejaculate. I also did the Candida spit test at home and resulted positive. Could Candida do this to me? Please help me out. Summary of symptoms: recurrent wind and bloating, recurrent flatulence (sometimes burns the rectum), recurrent constipation (usually after masturbation), feeling pushing under the liver usually after meals, but not always. Stool shape changes, upper abdominal pain (sometimes).
Avatar m tn Hey i read a post that said that candida can affect hiv tests and provide with false positive results. I too have Candida Albicans and wanted to know because i was thinking of taking my final 6 months hiv test should i wait for the Candida to subside?
Avatar f tn I did my own research and found that I have almost all candida symptoms, as well as my dog! Patchy hair loss and skin flaking. Even finding mold/yeast on his skin, and mine. It's the worst in my eyelashes, conjunctiva and scalp. So I just started a candida diet and natural home remedies for an organic candida cleanse. At first my symptoms got worse the first day, and I noticed candida in my stool and urine. Now My eyes feel better than they have in a year.
Avatar m tn What is the risk of contracting HIV when licking a penis with a geographic tongue or tongue affected by candida given that no ejaculation occurred and there was no bleeding or pain or discomfort on the tongue?
Avatar m tn Hi and thanks. So Candida cant be transmitted skin to skin and with vaginal liquid to my skin? I thought is a disease that can be passed from fluids or touch because is a mushroom...
Avatar n tn I did the candida diet and it really reset my hunger levels. I still try to limit the amount of carbs I eat because when I have too many of them, I start to feel the constant hunger creeping back in.
Avatar n tn These include topical antifungals like econazole (Spectazole) or oxiconazole (Oxistat) and oral antifungals like Itraconazole (Sporanox),Fluconazole (Diflucan) or Terbinafine (Lamisil) Triamcolone acetonide is a more potent type of triamcinolone, being about 8 times as effective as prednisone.It should not be used to treat fungal infections without consulting a dermatologist. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
Avatar n tn I have a 2 and a haf year old son that I suspect has a fungus around the cuticle of his finger on his thumb. The thumb had been slammed inside a door or cabinet and it has never healed. I was wondering what would be the best fungal medication for him to take terbinafine or fluconazole I read on the internet that sporanox is not recommended. What do you think I should tell the doctor to prescribe for a two and a half year old that would be safe.
Avatar f tn I just asked my neuro to test me for candida. He has tested me for everything under the sun and I have some suspicion that I could have candida and leaky gutt.
Avatar m tn Hello, I had sex with a csw with preservative for about 3 minutes, didnt eyaculate or anything and about 6 days later I got trush and sore throad with lots of dry cough, I got tested at day 25 with duo test negative and now waiting for the 3 months mark, but Im having recurring balanitis and trush on my tongue wont go away, already took mycostatin, diflucan and dactarin and they always come back, Isnt it a bit early for these opportunistic infections to come?
Avatar n tn There are anti-fungals (natural and prescription) and that combined with a proper diet (no sugar and yeast products) and good probiotics can help eliminate the candida. I have never heard of hydrogen peroxide being used to cure candida, but we have come a long way since then.
396308 tn?1213373632 I do feel run down and that would be explained by an overgrowth of Candida but I am overweight and depressed and this can make you run down I think. I really don't know what to do.. learning to relax and be happy and being on the Candida diet dont go together and I need to know what the right thing to do is. I have quit uni twice cause of this and need to get it sorted really..
Avatar m tn Basically Itraconazole is more wide spectrum and less toxic than ketoconazole and has been hence used for a variety of fungal infections chief being aspergillus, blastomycosis, sporotrichosis, histoplasmosis, and onychomycosis and ketoconazole is often used for Candida, Histoplasma, Coccidioides, and Blastomyces (although it is not active against Aspergillus).
Avatar m tn The only way to treat this condition is to kill the candida with fungal drugs like nyatatin and some candida killing probiotics. Eating a low carb diet will help eleviate alot of your symptoms but not kill the candida. To get rid of this condition you need to do both. We also discovered that the candida caused us to have a leaky gut'. This is wear the candida penetrates the colon wall and makes small holes where food particles get through.
Avatar f tn My doctor did check my liver before starting and he called to say everything was normal and to go forth with the treatment. I've heard so many bad things from hair loss, death, loss of taste and I'm so scared. I'm 21, a semester from graduating college and can't afford radical side effects from trying to cure nail fungus.
Avatar m tn i stumbled across a website for candida searchign for the ringworm, and took a test, and i have high risk for candida, and took a self spit test and showed that i do have candida, including about 30 of the symptoms that are related to it. I assume now that the candida has caused some of these bad rash conditions. I also assume that i am still in the clear, HAVING NOT YET VISITED A DOCTOR yet that this will go away in a few days and my immune system will clear it up.
Avatar n tn Oh and I also take acidophilus 2 times a day.
