I have also on and off had dry irritated lips and mild thrush symptoms. (sores, white coatings) Also my saliva is always very thick and slimy. I have been tired and get regular head aches. Can this be Candida or is it something worse?
I saw on the internet that there is a "Candida Spit Test"
I tried it and seemed to test have all indications of Candida
Any input and advice is welcomed, Please help... its been a long and torturous six months :(
It sounds exactly like candida to me. Not an std. Until you can get to a doctor for a recommended treatment from them, you should try eating as much unsweetened yogurt as you can. Candida likes sugar. So lay off the sugar. You can also try drinking a bit of apple cider vinegar every day. Do not use white vinegar...candida thrives on that too
See if the pharmacist at your local pharmacy can recommend a good anti-fungal to treat your groin area. Also, supplementing with acidophilus can be helpful.
Other than that, you will have to see a doctor. Those ideas i gave you are things that can slow it down and help clear it up, but they are slow acting. It seems you have a severe case so please see a doctor. Hope this helps.
