Riddled with Candida

7 replies

Hullabalooo · 20/06/2019 10:23

I'm going through an incredibly stressful period whilst my DC abusive father takes me to court, paying for that, working full time and being the main parent. I've got chronic insomnia and I'm massively run down.

Consequently I've got a really horrible case of Candida which just taking canestan isn't working for. I'm itchy everywhere not just usual places, brain fog, so tired. What can I do? Just can't seem to get rid of it!

Doctor my love - go see doctor and get a prescription - will be very effective in short time

Thanks. Won't they just give me more canestan though?

Just rang GP and they said it can't be thrush. Do they treat for Candida?

Prescription will be way more powerful than you get over the counter - they can also check for other causes ?? Currently you are self diagnosed so maybe it's something else

That's true enough. Appointment next week. Hopefully they'll work out what it is. Thanks

The doctor can prescribe a course of tablets which will treat the whole body for thrush. It’s similar to the blue oral tablet from Canestan that you can buy over the counter.
