2 Replies

So it's been a crazy two ears for me immunity wise. With being ruled out for ms after a bad atypical case of ON. And a lot of steroids, and other weird things and crazy infections all a year after having mono. Life has been bleh to say the least okay I'll get to the point. Have been I'll all month and was put on two different antibiotics. Felt so so for a day then had a pain in my throat when I swallowed. Went to GP and he told me it's probably reflux. I know my reflux and knew it wasn't the case. Next day it literally felt as if someone had their hand around my throat choking me! We to ENT and he said I have a fungal infection in my larynx from the antibiotics and my immune system couldn't take the meds. I've eaten 4 avocados in the past 7 days. Trying my best to keep hydrated. Having SEVERE sweating and a pain in my chest that's constant. I am on 20mg steroids twice a day. And melt in your mouth oravig. Which takes like 1.5 hours to dissolve! I'm scared that still 4 days into meds I'm feeling ZERO relief. I'm here begging for help. Not gonna lie. This is just too much to handle. And I'm feeling pretty lousy.... Xoxoxo

PS does this mean I will always be prone to this? This is so awful...

I am not a doctor but when I had to take massive steroids and anti fungal medicine I took mega doses of VitaminC to help my immunity it helped me. I still had serious side effects which after 4 months of being off the medicine have not got better. Try this as well as echinacea .

Good luck

Thank you!!! I will add that too!! Just gotta figure out how! Still can't eat much and had to stop the pills since last one got stuck! So I don't think they are reducing swelling in the first place. So frustrating!
