Need some help regarding candidiasis?
I have read tons of stuff on the Internet which suggests I have candidiasis, but am quite skeptical about whether many of the ‘symptoms’ — ‘headaches, mood swings, food sensitivities’ — are really candidiasis or a number of other possibilities. I did the ‘spit test’ and it was positive. I’ve read some doctors say candidiasis is all essentially a marketing scheme for naturalists and herbalists, and don’t know what to think in the end.
I have no insurance, and almost no money, and so I can’t see a doctor. There are no ‘free clinics’ where I live.
I am male, so I have none of the ‘vaginal’ symptoms, obviously. But all the other symptoms people tie to candidiasis are there, getting worse. I don’t have diabetes or HIV/AIDs, by the way, which I know are often causal. But I’m feeling constantly lethargic, unmotivated, grumpy, and as if I’m getting stupider. Lots of anxiety, as well.
So can anybody give me some first-hand and/or credible info on this condition?
If I get my hands on some Fluconozole, would it be detrimental to my health if I DIDN’T have candidiasis and took it? And how many should I take?
I have been misdiagnosed by doctors in the past but am not sure how reliable ‘alternative medicine’ really is in a situation like this.
Is there a good way to deal with candidiasis that would be cheap and would not harm my health if I’ve been wrongly diagnosed (by myself or others) as having candidiasis?
Please don’t answer that I just need to see a MD. I know I should. It’s a matter of money. I will see one when I have funds to. Until then, I could use an answer.
And please, no insistence I’m a hypochondriac. That seems to happen a lot on these boards to people who have done any research on their own. It’s tiring.
Sorry for the long list of questions. Supposedly, ‘brain fogginess’ is a symptom of candidiasis, so there you go.

If you have about ten dollars, you can go to a health store (or online) and order a pH strip, with with you can measure your body’s alkalinity or acidity. If you actually have the condition you do, then you’ll be notably ‘acidic’. It’s much cheaper than going to the doctor, and you can work from there.
Look into the ‘alkaline diet’, Even if you do not have candida taking over your body, then eating a diet high in alkaline-causing foods and probiotics is still safe for your health. I wouldn’t take someone else’s medications, since they may be dosed for that person and may have negative effects on you— especially if you DON’T have candidaiasis.
As a side note: I sort of doubt that the ‘retired nurse’ read the question completely, or that she’s really a retired nurse. Hypochondriacs get sick too, and anyone on the medical profession who would so arrogantly dismiss someone who is worried about their health has obviously given up on trying to actually help people. There’s a lot of that in the health industry today, which is why there is such a market for self-diagnosis and treatment. Just be careful, and don’t avoid doctors when you can afford one; just ask them questions.
Hope that helps
Your right! I think you are a hypochondriac also. Self diagnosis can be very harmful. See the school nurse. I suspect its hormones flushing your system.
Medical Discount Plan
ideal for those who cannot afford or qualify for traditional health insurance. The companies offer discounted health services for a quite low monthly fee. Benefits include a range of discounts for doctors, hospitals, dental, vision, prescriptions, vitamins, as well as other health services.
Short Term Medical Plans
This plan is ideal for individuals in transition. Maybe you have just graduated from college and are no longer covered under your student health insurance or you moved out on your own, and you’re no longer covered under your parents’ medical insurance plan. Or perhaps you’re employed part-time, going to school, leaving home for the first time, or even retiring early. Maybe you’ve found a new job, but your new employer’s group health insurance plan won’t kick in until you’ve been with months.
