Good morning all,
Can anyone tell me the affect of Candida on the nervous system.
I was tested by Metametrix about a year ago, and found very high levels of Fungi, but what kind it was was unavailable. I have been taking every antifungal under the sun, but didnt seem to do much. So now i am just taking L-glutamine, and probiotics to try and cure a leaky gut.
Something has now either traveled over my entire body, or it has in some way affected my nervous sytem.
I had the muscle twitching all over my body for about 3 years, but they were mild and didnt really bother me. I developed a bladder tumor that was removed.
3 months ago i developed sinus/eye pain, sore throat, and phlegm that tastes sour. Now my neck is so stiff its hard to turn my head. and yesteday my teeth began to hurt. ENT has run tests and saw nothing.
Now im getting pinching pain in my chest and back muscles that is scaring me. Also a ton of pain on top of my lower rib cage, that feels like its either in the skin, or the muscle, it so hard to tell. Im sitting here my chair rocking back and forth holding my ribs. Crazy huh ?
Can these little pinching pains be my nervous system ?
I thought the L-glutamine that i have been on for a week was helping, but i feel worse today more then ever, and in parts of my body that i didnt have pain before. My stools are loose and look like they covered with a fine hair.
any ideas ?

Generally contracted muscles like that and twitching indicate a lack of magnesium and/or high serum calcium. Calcium contracts muscles while magnesium relaxes muscles by displacing calcium.
Low magnesium can be from poor absorption or loss of magnesium such as from high carbohydrate or alcohol consumption. Elevated serum calcium most often results from hyperparathyroidism or pseudohyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism can be triggered by low vitamin D levels leading to parathyroid nodules that increase parathyroid hormone (PTH) release. Pseudohyperparathyroidism can occur from the excess intake of high phosphorus sources such as beef, milk or colas.
I recommend trying supplementing with magnesium malate or citrate first to see if this helps with the muscles.
Vitamin D can help treat hyperparathyroidism, but it can also increase calcium uptake that can interfere with the magnesium. This is why I recommend trying the magnesium first.
Not sure about the sore throat and sour taste if the ENT could not find anything. I would have suspected a throat or sinus infection.
As for the loose stools this could be a number of things as well. Most cases will pass in a short time. If it continues then building up your flora with cultured foods and prebiotics would be my first suggestion. This will help with any infection in the intestines and leaky gut.
