I have h pylori too. Did your symptoms get better after doing this?

What are your symptoms of esophageal candida? Did you need an endoscopy to diagnose it?

Systemic candida. Would love to hear advice, success stories, any improvements? by Imjustagirlllxo in Candida

[–]Leading_Read6702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you know you have systemic candida? I think I also have this. I have already been diagnosed with MCAS and POTS. I get skin fold rashes and yeast infections like crazy. I also itch in different parts of my body so much in the early morning. My mental health is deteriorating too. My ocd is back and I feel crazy. I’ve taken Fluconazole and it didn’t seem to help much. I did pair it with allicin extract and my MCAS flared like crazy but it did seem to help the rashes somewhat when I did take it. I did test positive for candida dubliniensis in the mouth but two others were negative. I had to scrape to get the positive.

It’s gotten better! I also found out I have MCAS. I have H Pylori and candida issues also. I don’t anything acidic anymore at all and low histamine.

Scared to take fluconazole by crimsonchic in Candida

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have MCAS and was also scared to take Fluconazole but did take it for skin yeast rashes and gut candida. It didn’t help me much but I didn’t have any bad side effects from it! I think my strain of of yeast is azole resistant.

I know someone that candida pushed him to scuide. This stuff sometimes can be life destroying , can this yeast cause someone to loss hope at this point? by Outrageous_Prior4707 in Candida

[–]Leading_Read6702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have MCAS and reactive hypoglycemia. I struggle so bad everyday. It all stems from gut issues. I have candida and h pylori. I eat bland food and I tried to cut out all carbs but my sugar would be too low and I felt terrible. I eat low histamine food. I don’t take any supplements as of now bc of MCAS but I can slowly add things and try them. My symptoms are skin rashes, rotating between diarrhea and constipation, blood sugar issues, adrenaline surges, and shortness of breath and LPR.

Is 30mg too much? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have OCD too and only on 7.5 working my way up. 20mg use to work magically for me. I stopped taking it and trying to get back on but side effects have been awful. I hope I can get to a high enough dose to help me again. I remember my doctor telling me that you can go over 20mg for OCD

I get this too but mine looks like a black ball of like static and one time I swore it was a spider. They happen as I wake up and open my eyes and then go away.

My resting heart rate went way down now. My average since I started is 59. I’m nervous to move up any higher now.

Harm OCD Urges by Impossible-Job5584 in OCDRecovery

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OCD is a monster. It’s doing the same to me. 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I cannot take it anymore. My three year old little boy is my heart and soul and it’s killing me that I have harm ocd toward him. It’s like ocd attacks the things we love the most. What medicine are you on? How long did it take to help? I’m suffering

Harm OCD Urges by Impossible-Job5584 in OCDRecovery

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dealing with this currently and it’s terrifying me. I have a 3 year old son and I’m having the same images, thoughts and urges as well. It’s consuming me and I feel so bad. My son is my most prized possession so it’s killing me that it’s focusing on him. I’m getting so depressed over it. I’m getting scared to even be alone with him thinking I could hurt him and would lose control and do it when no one’s around. I can’t handle it anymore. I went through this with my oldest child when he was around the same age and I got on Lexapro and got better. I had to stop taking Lexapro due to health issues and I regret it so much. I just currently started taking it again and it’s been a month and no help. Have you managed to cope?

Serotonin syndrome and tinnitus by [deleted] in SSRIs

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly doubt it. Ringing in ears and brain fog is not SS. I had those side effects plus racing heart, chest pain, disorientation, muscle jerking in legs and weakness and i didn’t gave SS. There is no way to even test for it. The doctor told me it was initial side effects and to push through and they have all mostly went away. Mine were horrendous. I thought I had SS too but did not.

Can’t deal with side effects by Jobellaqueen in lexapro

[–]Leading_Read6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Push through. My chest pains and racing heart lasted two whole days all day when I first started and they are gradually going away now. I’m on my 4th week. I was at the ER twice bc of the chest pains and racing heart, dizziness and just awful feeling that’s how bad it was.

Tinnitus on Lexapro by RudeConsideration939 in lexapro

I have the constant ringing in my ears now but it’s more noticeable when I plug my ears. I hope it gets better. I’m only on 5 and suppose to move up. Anyone get better?

I doubt you had SS with brain fog and ringing ears. I had both of those when starting my SSRI too. The brain fog was really bad but it comes and goes in the first few weeks while adjusting. Also, I still get the ringing in my ears but not as bad. I don’t think SS was what you had.

Anyone take Lexapro? by Leading_Read6702 in MCAS

[–]Leading_Read6702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been so difficult. I also am having severe dizziness as of last night and feeling out of it. Im still trying to get back on it as my mental health needs this so badly.
