Am I having Candida Albicans?
by Ayam, Sep 28, 2003 12:00AM
Hi I'm Ayam, this year I'm turning 53. From January this year (2003) I couldn't have a good sleep. I feel headache, when I'm sleeping my legs and arms feel numb and pins and needles. Even when I wake up I still feel numb. My whole body feel cold. Even my sweat isn't like a healthy person's sweat (it's kinda a cold sweat). My nose become very sensitive.I used to smoke but I quit early this year. I used to be a brave person (seems like nothing to fear) but now I'm scared to go anywhere especially to a place with many people around.I did my blood test several times and went to see many doctors (from different diciplines) but seems like there's no any problem with my health.
Has anyone have any clue on what I'm going through now? am I having Candida Albicans? Thanks.

Chronic fungal infections, such as candida, can cause fatigue, malaise, and meningitis like pictures in susceptible hosts. Typically to have a disseminated candida infection your immune system would have to be weak. Some of the symptoms you describe could be related to a peripheral neuropathy, and specifically a small fiber neuropathy. Other possibilities include abnormalities of B12, and inflammation within the central nervous system. If you have not seen a neurologist it would be reasonable. Good luck
