4 YRS UTI's YEAST INFECTION DRS REFUSE TO TREAT!!!!

I am 63, 5'5" 137 lbs...perfect health until almost 4 yrs ago had my first urinary tract infection....
since then had them all the time....lots of antibiotics as a child now this....
I now have systemic candida....all the symptoms
for sure...
prim care #1 laughed at me
prim care #2 is refusing to give me a referral
to immunologist...
GYN #1 told me nothing wrong for 1 1/2 yrs
GYN #2 told me definitely have yeast inf and
gave me 2 FLUCONOZOLE...I told him it was
systemic...and I needed LONG TERM fluc.
he told me to go to the prim care....
I had asked prim care to do lab tests to ck for
it....they screwed everything up...the swab vag
test disappeared totally.  they handed me 4 lab reports one was for no specimen received,
two were for urinalysis, one was for the stool
but THEY DID NOT CK FOR CANDIDA !
they tested for parasites!  I had told them I had
been tested for that before!
tested stool for salmonella, shigella
reduced fecal flora
campylobacter culture
none
e coli shiga toxin eia neg
NEVER TESTED FOR YEAST SO TODAY
WHEN I went in to ask for referral to immunologist the head nurse said thru someone else as she would not face me,
that she refused to do the referral as my ins
co would not cover it as WE ALREADY DID
THE TESTS!  I did not realize at the time, these
4 lab sheets were just garbage.
We did a vag test, stool and blood...the only
test existing is the stool and that is wrong.
SHE IS REFUSING ME THE REFERRAL TO THE MAN WHO CAN SAVE MY LIFE BECAUSE IT APPEARS SHE DOES NOT LIKE ME.....
THIS IS INSANE....
what do I do???  In AZ on achess ....

Check out the immune deficiency foundation. At a meeting of the local IDF, I talked to a person that had over 200 UTI's before the doc's figured out she had an immune deficiency. She is currently getting ready to do IVIG's as she has common variable immune deficiency.
For a free list of close immunologists and more info on immune deficiency go to www.primaryimmune.org

She also does  VSL#3 a super pro-biotic available OTC at Costco and other places, plus she takes a dose of 5,000 D3 a day.  Info on D3 at www.vitamindcoucil.org.
Don't know if this will help, but more info can't hurt, and the sites are free.

Good luck,

Thank you so much!
I am doing all the stuff you said....I mean
I was doing all those things and the perfect diet
now for months....
Try to put this in a nutshell.
After I took the one fluconozole, I had a hard pound in my chest
figured it was a heart attack happened about 2 1/2 hrs after taking it.
went to er in ambulance.
right after hard pound...sweaty, clammy, weak,chest pressure.
THEY said no heart attack had to get a taxi home.
so I started the yeast killer about a 7-10 days after that...and
the stuff seemed to cause heaviness in the chest....
finally went to my dr and she wanted to do a ekg then gave
me a ref to cardiologist...
I HAVE WALKED SUPER FAST ON MY TREADMILL off and on
for 3 yrs...
never had a bit of trouble now this...
Was taking the capriylic acid seemed too harsh then the
Candida clear seemed to harsh and now Wellness Formula  by
source naturals supposed to take 3 at a time it is too much
for me just can take one
took two today now the chest pressure is back
my dr
said you stressed your heart with this stuff and you failed
the stress test....
well.....I dont know what is going on here but I am 63
5'5" 137 lbs....of course lost 10 lbs as have been on this
low carb diet for MONTHS....maybe it is all just too much
spitting in glass looks like no more candida now.....
what next?

PART 2 (had to split my post in 2. MH technical glitch)


Next, consider replacing your cooking oils with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil!
It is the best anti-fungal money can buy. Works better than drugs!!!
It is also antimicrobial, anti-parasitic, anti-protozoic and a great immune booster. Babies get immune support from their mothers milk as it contains
Lauric acid, while they're developing their own immune systems.
Well coconut oil is a great source for Lauric acid.
2 Tablespoons daily to start and increase gradually to 4 in 4 weeks.
It can be also used safely as an external remedy.
My wife treated successfully a bout of haemorrhoids, within a day or 2, using Coconut oil.

More details at the Coconut research centre website.

Quality prebiotics and probiotics. You need those to repopulate your intestinal flora with healthy bacteria.
I have purchased for my family and used myself "Progressive Nutritional Therapies symbiotic Kit". Very high quality. Not sure if available in the U.S.
since it is made in Canada. But you may want to look it up and use it as a reference for quality criteria.

And finally try to distress. Meditation does wonders! If you can't meditate
on you own, get some good meditation CDs and aim for 1/2 hour daily.

Sorry, I did not mean to lecture you, and yes, I sympathize with you for
what you're going through, but stay strong, be proactive and if you take charge of your own health matters, it will help tremendously!
You are able to get better. Post again if you need more details or support.
You may also message me any time.
Wish you well.

Hi myname208.

Welcome to the forum!

This is a battle that you will not win, unfortunately.
That is, the battle with a medical system that seems to be failing you!
It is similar to the hatred that someone holds, against a situation,
a person or a group.
"I hate all Martians". Well, Martians don't really care!
And if they existed, the wouldn't even know that an Earthling HATES them.
The moral is that you're doing more damage to yourself, by being so frustrated, angry and perhaps desperate-I don't think you HATE anyone for this- And guess what? The system doesn't know about these feelings of yours .
It's just a mechanism!

OK enough said on that topic. Now what can be done?
A lot!
And most of it on your own!
For starters are you on a STRICT anti-Candida diet?
If not, consider starting ASAP! You must know by now that all sugars,
simple carbs in forms of flour, grains, milk, feed the Candida.
Alcohol, fermented products, dairy are out as well! Stay away from artificial sugars. Natural Yogurt and Kefir may be OK.
Do as search for a complete list of "illegal" foods and drinks.
END of PART1
