systemic candida

For several years I have had a white coatingon my cervix.  Now i have fungal infection on both breasts.  My eyes burn, I have extreme fatigue, depression controlled by paxil, fungus on toenails, daily headaches, painful intercourse, and some muscle and joint pain.  Blood tests are mostly normal, except for a slight elevation in PH and BUN.  Pap is normal.  Ive seen rheumatologist, gynecologist and endocrinologist with no diagnisis.  I'm wondering about candida.

You should ask your GP about the possibility of a systemic fungal/yeast infection, and ask them who to see.  You may be able to take care of most of it with a single course of oral antifungals.  Unfortunately, the only thing that actually works for toe fungus is the oral antifungals.  There is a slight risk of liver damage, but the doctor should take baseline labs before starting so you'll know if anything's going wrong, and the course is 3 months.  You'll probably need antifungal cream for the breasts as well (although you can try lotramin on them to start, following the directions on the package).

Get checked for Celiac disease and diabetes.

Go to the healthfood store and get a good prebiotic or probiotic, odorless garlic.  Stop eating sugar and junk food.  Eat vegetables and lean meat.  Eat whole fruits, not juice.  Use neem soap.  Use tea tree oil on your toe nails (this will take at least 3 months).  

You could take an antifungal pill, but it can damage your liver.
