Hey Michele! I too am being treated for yeast, both the short cycle kind and the long lasting kind (sorry don't have my blood results in front of me so I can't tell you the exact names!).
When most women see "positive for yeast" on a test, they automatically think, "Oh no I have a yeast infection." This is not the case-- yeast can be present in the blood without it manifesting in a crotch-itching, oh no i have to get cream and a plunger infection. Yeast is present in the blood, and when it gets over normal levels it affects your digestive system and other systems. Like in my fibro clinic, I'm guessing your pain management clinic is looking to treat everything in your tests that come back out of whack.
I'm not on the no sugar diet (it's a really tough one to be on!). But I am taking diflucan 200 mgs (flucanizole 200 mgs, generic) for 4 months.
One of these pills knocks out a yeast infection (down there), and I'm taking 120 of them! Do your research and find a pharmacy that sells them cheap. For thirty (30) pills the GENERIC flucanizole 200 mgs costs:
$412.16 at Giant pharmacy (no i am not kidding about this price) $320 at CVS $260 at Eckerd and only $36 at Walmart. (??!?!)
Yeah, I couldn't believe it too. I think they are used to sell these pills one at a time, at like $30 per pill, but these are ridiculous prices for people like me with no insurance (or even no prescription plan).
I know you have insurance and know this stuff about yeast in the blood, but I wanted to post the information just in case someone else needed it. I called around to find out the prices after paying $260 at Eckerd one month for flucanizole. I was mortified to find I'd made a huge, costly mistake.
