I seem to have it again.  I am on Biaxin 500mg 2xday and the doxyⁱ 2 x aday 100mg.  I've read that it could be fungal so I'm going to take 200mg of diflucan a day and see if that helps.  I also went back on the thrush losenges?  Hard to swallow and feels like something is stuck in my throat but it's just red, no infection I can see.  Has anyone here had this a lot and what did you do for it?   Did it resolve on its own?  I just can't see adding another antibiotic.  That would make 3 different ones a day plus all the other stuff I'm on. 

Well, here I am again asking questions!  I have been really sick for about a week now.  I've been blaming the ragweed (it's horrible here from mid-August to 1st frost usually in November) but I think my right sinus is infected again.  I spent 18 years straight on every antibiotic I think that was ever made!  After I started the abxⁱ last October I haven't had a sinus infection.  I am still on everything but what if I add a rocephinⁱ shot to the mix?  My gp might give me one or two.  I've had to have endoscopic cultures done of my right sinus for years.  Otherwise, it's like a shot in the dark trying to kill an infection.  I've probably got lots of mutated bugs from all the years of one antibiotic after another.  I'm sure if I went to an ent doc (ear, nose,throat) he wouldn't put me

I didn't even notice how time went by. It's been 1 year and 9 months since I started CAPⁱ. When I started, I thought I'd be on it only for a year. Then I hoped to stop at 2 years mark but now I see that I may need a bit more time b/c I still have a few unresolved symptoms.

I am guilty though for taking about 3-4 weeks break from treatment this summer. It happened sponteneously. I ran out of meds, didn't refill on time, we needed to go away for vacation, oh well, many excuses. The truth is that I am burnt out.  I put myself back on track but I can't wait when the treatment will be over. 

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have been telling my story to every type specialist in the books until now. I'm praying my new docs are on the right track.

            It's been awhile. This spring wasn't good but I learned alot. Was on antibioticsⁱ for one year, finally got c-dif. Thought I was taking plenty of probiotics but it happened. I found in April I had c-dif and it's 1 aug. and I'm still trying to get back to normal. My numbers came down from 1150 to 550. My congestion is alot better so I stopped antibiotics till my digestive system is better. But I'm living better without pain. Thanks to the people on cpnhelp, though you might not know but reading others paths to health has helped me understand what I had to face. Steveco

Have a question - while taking the cpnⁱ protocol I've noticed that my systemic yeast has gotten worse.  I take Diflucan 100-200mg a day with everything else.  A year ago I used Amphotericin B nasal wash  off and on for about 3 years.  My sinus doc said I would probably have to stay on it.  I also start feeling really bad a day or two after it rains so the mold allergy I have adds an extra load to everything else.  I have found out through the years of 19 years of straight antibioticsⁱ for chronic sinusitis that the yeast problems seem to make or bring on the fibromyalgiaⁱ.  I always feel worse in the spring, summer and fall because of the mold.
