Help with antifungal

Hi all, I'm the one who has been diagnosed with funneliformis mosseae. I couldn't take doxy, or zithro and plaquenil. My herxing is beyond the norm....I did everything I could to help the herx, i.e. tons of water (still do that everyday), charcoal, detox and pinella from Nutramedix, etc. I cannot take steroids, due to extreme anxiety they produce in my body. My herxing involves almost passing out, inability to walk, pain in my head so severe nothing helps, i.e. not any opiod and I won't try oxy because I don't want to get addicted and stuck there.

I started oregano oil recently, and garlic on most foods (still on the vegan and organic only diet). Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I need an antifungal, but very concerned that I won't be able to take them. I only took 100mg (1/2 of a plaquenil) one time, and it caused the extremely intense and ridiculous herxing. I'm not afraid of pain---been in constant pain for 2 1/2 years.

Help!

Hi Lena, I had never heard of your diagnosis so I was googling around to learn about it. I'm not sure if you saw this or if it will be helpful but it was posted last year on this forum. I'm saying this without knowing much about your diagnosis, but I noticed you didn't mention Epsom Salt baths with dry brushing before you get in for a detoxing method. I know that is one of the few things that help with my pain. Are you taking supplements to help your liver? I wish I could be more help. I know I herxed really bad when my doc started treating me for Candida, not sure if it's similar.

Let us know how you're doing. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Lena -

I'm not sure about your specific diagnosis, either. But just wanted to agree w/ Laker7491 regarding addition detoxing that you would probably benefit from. Also, one critical detoxing component is GI detox - we take nearly all of our Lyme & Co, antifungal protocols orally. And a commonality amongst most of us is GI issues and problems with absorption and elimination. It's very important to make sure you are regular and can detox your gut effectively.

I suggest incorporating a good binder (activated charcoal, bentonite clay, psyllium husk, pure cholestyramine). Start slowly, be sure to respect the time buffers before/after the binder regarding foods, meds, supplements. And try working a binder in twice/day, especially at night before bedtime.

Hope this is helpful -
