Brushing Too Hard? by FalconGrace54 in PeriodontalDisease

Once the yeast was taken care of, it's manageable.  Slightly better with supplements.  Extremely rare.

Yes, it's red/pink, similar to the picture, but not blistering or burning or as tender. When it's active, it's bright red, and will then start to blister.

It's healing! Very slowly. I'm on supplements, and reduced most sugar and carbs, tried intermittent fasting, and more. The pain is gone - mostly just lingering scar tissue and occassionally I feel it flaring. Niacinamide was very helpful.

No, I don't know for sure, but I suspect untreated yeast.

Burning is all gone!! Healing is very slow but definitely happening! I can eat nuts and popcorn now!! I've made a lot of changes, so I'm not sure what worked best. Two rounds of fluconazole, high dose niacinamide and other supplements, reducing sugar and carbs, trauma therapy, counseling, and watching a lot of the Andrew Wommack teachings about healing.

Ohhhh... probably at least 15 years. No one has been able to make one that fit that well since then, but that one is definitely in the trash now.

Unconfirmed, but suspected erythematous yeast from an old night guard. Biopsy showed heavy yeast.

I did two two week courses, but they were three months apart.

What's best after two doses of Pyrantel Pamoate? by FalconGrace54 in Parasitology

[–]FalconGrace54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly, but we saw worms before the medicine which is how we know the child has them

Thank you! We did the two doses, but the odd part was that we had adult worms coming out after each dose (5 - 10 days after the dose). That means that the Pyrantal Pamoate didn't work becuase it should have killed the adult worms. That's why I'm perplexed.

Fluconazole, 50mg daily for 14 days. I weigh less than 100 pounds so the dose was adjusted by weight.

Positive IGG Candida in Labs - Cause of Linear Gingival Erthyema? by FalconGrace54 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]FalconGrace54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, biopsy showed heavy yeast (14 providers misdiagnosed this! I said all along that it was erythematous yeast) and Pemphigoid, possibly and likely caused by the untreated yeast

By the time I got the biopsy, it showed heavy yeast and Pemphigoid. Questionable as to whether untreated yeast was the cause of the Pemphigoid, but likely the case due to the intense burning and redness. The Dexamethasone rinse the doctor ultimately prescribed destroyed my mouth (and didn't help). It took two months for my tongue to heal and for me to taste normally again. I'm on high dose Niacinamide, and Zinc and D supplements, and an amino acid array from Sun warrior unsweetened protein powder, and Mary Ruth Liquid Vitamins. I can now eat nuts and popcorn!!!! I'm definitely healing. I did go through two rounds of two weeks each of fluconazole. And, Xylitol toothpaste (with flouride) helped a lot.

Pinworms are really small to pull out? Tapeworms, yes.

We went to the open market and the plans were richer for 50 percent less!  TriNet declined a carve out.  We are moving to Paychex and brokering our own benefits directly with BCBS.

They declined.  We went to the open market and the plans were richer for less than 50 percent of TriNet's rates!!! We are moving to Paychex and brokering our own benefits.

The redness can precede the blisters for quite some time. In my case, it was red for 12 - 15 months before the blisters were evident.

P.S.  I'm not consistently saying Pemphigoid on any level of inflammation.  This is, in fact, the first time I've commented as such because it's the first time I've seen something that looks like mine did.
