Posted this in the comments of my original post but I’ll make a proper post to let you all know as well
Hi everyone I just got my results for my blood test. My GP said that my White blood cell count and CRP has gone done which means the infection is starting to leave my body which is good. But if that’s the case then idk I still feel so sick and weak. I mentioned allergies to her and she doesn’t think that’s the cause but she said there’s not harm going on antihistamines for a few weeks to see if it helps. She said that over the next 2-3 weeks the infection should start to leave my body even more so she said in about 3 weeks to come back and get another blood test to check my white blood cell count to see if it’s gone done further. I didn’t think I should mention a fungal infection cause I was worried if I mentioned too many things at once she’d say Im a hypochondriac or something. Anyways if it was fungal/ yeast infection I don’t think the antibiotics would’ve helped to reduce it. I might go in and ask if I can get my vitamin levels checked before I get my next blood test done and I’ll probably still order a thyroid test online just to make sure those things are ok. If anyone has any other things to suggest that I should get tested for feel free to lmk. Thanks for all your comments it’s made me feel less alone while I go through this.

🤔 Yeast/fungal infection. Have you been tested for Candidiasis.
Invasive Candidiasis
Global Emergence of Candida auris
Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant type of Candida that presents a serious global health threat, including in the United States. It can cause severe infections and spreads easily in healthcare facilities.
Learn more about C. auris
Invasive candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Unlike Candida infections in the mouth and throat (also called “thrush”) or vaginal “yeast infections,” invasive candidiasis is a serious infection that can affect the blood, heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other parts of the body. Candidemia, a bloodstream infection with Candida, is a common infection in hospitalized patients.
No I haven’t been tested for that yet actually. I was almost going to mention a fungal infection to my GP today but then I thought if I mentioned too many things that could be wrong she might think I’m a hypochondriac. I might mention it too her next time when I get another blood test done in 2-3 weeks
🤔 In my experience, ‘overloading’ a GP can be counter productive. It’s a fine balance between getting what you think you need, and what they think is appropriate.
But, at the same time, when things aren’t getting any better, all you can do is stick with it.
Try to stay calm at appointments, and not become emotional, it’s so easy to be distracted.
I know the feeling when you go to your doctor feeling like a hypochondriac If you wanted to, there are a few home remedies for candidiasis (fungal infection) that you can try in the interim:
