"They keep telling me I have tons of inflammation"
Remember we dont feel all inflammation, pain type yes, cellular level- prob not.
I tried not to guess and used my health insurance for testing many things when possible.
Also went to a gene Dr with my 23/me results.
Nystatin did minimal for me, yet it works well for some people. I used diflucan, and also anti-yeast herbs, d-limonine ect. Candida can be blood tested with Quest and other insurance covered labs.
Seen a nutritional/functional dietician and did the Leap food test (Mediator Response Test) and changed my diet gradually........GF was only part of it, but it was the biggest and last change.
Kind to my liver and stopped occasional alcohol 98% to a few very costly GF beers every other month. Three six packs all last year. Zero hard liquor. Zero.
My food and alcohol changes would certainly be more difficult If I were younger.
I went down the mold hole too........its not a thing with me, but I sure investigated it with most of Shoemakers suggested tests. .
Had a specific brain MRI ..."Quad ..? .something, forgot the full name. Was a very special lab that looked at it...and I was all good. No weird brain scan results, was a relief,
If you still have lyme or co's, thats one thing, but you've been treating that for some time now if I remember correctly. Many lymies have more than lyme causing their issues..........but are not fully aware......its a puzzle that takes more time than we think it should.
In my opinion "chronic lyme disease" is not just the infection, but the cascade of other issues it caused that sometimes do NOT self correct automatically. We have to help it correct.
