Someone I know has used diflucan several times and is currently on a four month candida treatment because she wasn't using it properly last time.
Her experience with diflucan is that it really takes into the second day to notice any real improvement.
At the first day it is just getting into her system, as she said.
She also believes that there is no point taking acidophilus or probiotics or anything like that while on diflucan because it just suppresses and kills them off.
She waits until the treatment is finished and then starts the work of repopulating her body with the needed flora.
I took Diflucan for the yeast infection in my milk ducts.
It was a very painful infection and within 24 hours of the Diflucan the pain was gone.
I had to stay on it for five weeks to keep it gone.
I was just wondering if it would make me feel terrible.
I don't have a serious chronic candida condition, but had gotten thrush and some intestinal overgrowth from an overexposure to mold in the last 6 months.
I was also Monday waked up with an awful case of the flu.
My doctor suggested, and I had pretty much come to this conclusion myself by the time I saw her, that I could do a slow, herbal supplement thing over the summer and heal the candida problem, but I would be at much higher risk for every flu or cold that came around.
I have never gotten the flu and cold before.
Or I could take 5 pills of Diflucan, and then go back to the probiotics.
I took the first pill Wednesday night, and then take one tonight, and every two days for 10 days.
So far, the only possible thing that might be from the Diflucan is a mild headache.
The rest of the symptoms (sweats, mostly) are from the flu.
I had them for three days before I started the Diflucan.
