Oral thrush????

So I have hashmoto's toxicosis.  My tsh has been flip flopping between hypo and hyper constantly for the last 9 months.  I am no longer on meds because my uptake showed my thyroid is taking in too much iodine although my tsh usually shows a hypo number with a few exceptions.  Anyway, I have been deathly ill.  I can't sleep, or sleep too much, my heart races, can't do activities, I'm hot, I'm cold, I have horrible pain, horrible headaches, heartburn, shortness of breath, panic attacks etc etc.  Basically I am barely living.  So last night my cheeks felt kind of sore, but I didn't think much of it and went to bed.  Today it still hurt so I examined it in the mirror and noticed white spots on my tongue.  Apparently I have oral thrush =(.  I am not scared out of my mind because my whole body is just not working.  I have become gluten intolerant in this time (I have not ate gluten) and developed some kind of allergies and now this.  My doc prescribed something over the phone, and I have to see her next week, but has anyone else had this happen from hashi's???  I just had my blood tested again as I have a feeling I have swung back hypo.  I have not received the results yet.  I am so tired =(.  Everyday there is something else wrong with me.  I am meeting with a surgeon on May 10 for a consultation.  I'm scared I can even make it through at this point as I am so ill.  I'm 32 and it seems my whole body if falling apart.  Now if I don't eat my hands shake as well.  I have so much going on that I don't even know where to begin =(.

oh sweetie, what we gonna do about you.  I am so worried about you.  Can you PM me tomorrow after your doctor visit.  I think that we need to find you a good ENT and have some allergy testing done!!  Just too many things your poor body is going thru.  How is your son doing?

That scares me.  I have been on the nystatin syrup all week and if anything it's a little worse.  I have tried every home remedy as well.  I wish my body would just get better.  I did find out though that splenda causes 50% of your good bacteria to die.  I had been eating a bunch of the lowfat spledna ice cream because it was making me feel better as far as some of my symptoms.  I wonder if this is what brought it on.

I am seeing an endocrinologist, but I don't think I see great ones.  I have not been tested for candida, but I am almost sure I probably have it.  I have everything right now.  The problem is my thyroid is a mess, my parathyroid is odd, my d level is low, my adrenal glands are messed up, I have digestive issues and gluten intolerance now, skin issues, allergies popping up, weird shoulder pain, heart issues, and now candida problems.  Where would my doc even begin with testing??????  Mine never seem to test me for anything other than thyroid related issues (which maybe it is all caused from that).  I don't know.  I'm just a mess.  I'm going to the doc tomorrow.  I've been taking nystatin syrup this whole week and it hasn't done a thing for the thrush.  I have tried garlic, grapefruit seed extract and apple cider vinegar too.  Nothing is working and if anything it's a little worse =(.  I don't even know what to do anymore.

I have a couple questions.

Are you seeing an Endocronologist?

Did you get tested for Candida Albicans? If not, please insist to be tested for it.

Feel better!

I had "oral thrush" for 8 months two years ago. It finally went away. I was put on every antibiotic, mouth wash, you name it, NOTHING helped. After 8 months it finally went away.

Personally I think I developed it after being on an antibiotic for an infected submandibular gland.

Block and replace is tricky. You state many common things associated with low FT3 in the system to get your body functioning up to the speed it needs to in order to feel well completely
