Candida

Hi Chirley,
Too bad with the candidiasis – I think you are right when you think it should be treated. Do remember to avoid sweet food! Here are the latest guidelines. You should look at XIV page 22: http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi...57?cookieSet=1

Recommendations: oropharyngeal candidiasis
For mild disease, clotrimazole (Mycelex) troches at a dosage of 10 mg 5 times daily, nystatin suspension at a concentration of 100,000 U/mL and a dosage of 4–6 mL 4 times daily, or 1–2 nystatin pastilles (200,000 U each) administered 4 times daily for 7–14 days is recommended (B-II).”

About Mycelex: http://www.rxlist.com/mycelex-drug.htm. I can’t find anything about haematological adverse reactions.

I don’t know anything about how to increase lymphocyte counts.

Of cause you need B12 injections! I can’t understand why you don’t get this kind of treatment as soon as the deficiency is diagnosed .
Hope you manage to get the treatment you need!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
