-I just finished a round of nystatin tablets 100ct 2 weeks ago and it helped me feel better mentally ALOT, but definitely didn’t notice any changes in the amount of overgrowth I feel inside (like one big mass that is sprawled out from my intestines to the back of my face, still having a lot of this squeezing feeling behind my face too) Anyway… I started this new routine after finishing the nystatin and I think it’s really helped so far. Experiencing a bit more shifting and draining inside (in a good way). Definitely feeling the side effects of killing it, die-off, a smidge more difficult to articulate, balance/equilibrium out of wack, itchy skin (especially at the base of my neck), extreme fatigue (if I don’t take my vyvanse I LEGIT constantly falling asleep or can’t get anything done), very hard to lose weight, there’s a lot more symptoms and everything but those have been my worst ones

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Jogging 2-3 miles 5-6 days a week I’m a server so I also get plenty of steps in around 11,000-15,000 daily 100 pushups 2-3 times a week (Walking makes my body feel better like it’s adjusting back into place)

Yes it’s hard to push myself to exercise but I ALWAYS feel soooooo much better afterwards! This really is ESSENTIAL for recovering from this stuff. Honestly, it’s had the BIGGEST impact on this whole overgrowth thing. I literally had to start with baby steps, I’d jog as far as I could (starting out it was only a block or two at a time-walking until I caught my breath enough to jog again) but built myself up to now 2-3 miles straight! Careful with hunger cuz jogging makes me crazy hungry and it was very difficult at first to not eat shitty food.

SLEEP: This has been the most challenging part of the whole candida journey 😑 I initially can fall asleep but waking up 2-4 hours later for around 15-30 minutes then back to sleep for another 2 hours, up for 10 minutes, then sleep again for 2-3 hours This has been going on for about 8 months now

DIET: Really just been making small changes here and there, tweaking the edges, not going to lie though the exercising has REALLY improved the way my body digest stuff. Obviously I cut down on the sugar, I was very bad about that before but I’m down to 20-30% of your suggested daily value n I’ll be honest I cut out all milk and pop/juice n just that alone helped a lot a lot with symptoms Eating more plant protein & fiber More fish A lot more water

Overall: Started using cetaphil body wash sensitive skin and it’s helped with the itching feeling, Really excited about getting rid of this living nightmare and I will keep you updated on my progress and on what is working n not working I’ve only been doing the diatomaceous earth for about 1.5 weeks and I believe it’s been more beneficial than any of the fluconazole or nystatin OH AND another major symptom has been memory loss, difficulty remembering what I am doing or things that I just was asked to do Until my next post👋 Keep your mental health up and more positive vibes because that’s also had a huge impact on my recovery ❤️‍🩹 that depression is no joke and it’s ok to not be ok sometimes, if all u do is hold yourself together today that’s okay too
