Hi Rainy,

I just joined this site and find it very informational.

Have you tested for allergies? I have MS and conventional medicine
has about run out of options so I developed my own plan. I am at
the last phase of a variant of the elimination diet (e-mail me if
you want details, it's not complicated). After you restrict your
diet for about 10 days to cleanse your body, you start adding back
foods (1 every other day) and check for reactions. By Day 4
of `clean-out' I noticed that my sinus/mucus, coughing/phlegm,
vagina/discharge issues had disappeared. When I started adding food
back, my reaction to the various members of the nightshade family
(which I crave!!!!) ranged from slightly sensitive (sinus and nose
congestion, coughing) to allergic (gastrointestinal pain and
hives). So separate from eliminating my candidiasis – which is my
next step – I am already seeing some relief from eliminating the
foods to which I am `allergic.'

I chose the elimination diet over conventional testing as it is as
broad based as what you can ingest while the medical tests are for
specific items/groups of items.

I have suffered from dx'd "chronic sinusitis' for 30+ years, and my
nose/sinuses hsve never felt so good , and no discharge certainly
makes laundry easier.

On the downside, I love the nightshade family – tomatoes, peppers,
eggplant, chili, potatoes – and will really miss eating these
regularly. And, since tobacco is also a nightshade member, I will
finally have to quit smoking (37 yrs of bad habit.)

Good luck,
Lynn

eucalyptus in the air and humidifier going.
