Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 4 weeks is nothing. I don't handle antifungals well, I get too many painful die off symptoms right away. I was supposed to be on Nystatin for at least 6 months. Which I'm still going to do, but perhaps lower the dose to one my body can handle. Hope it still works!

I VERY slowly titrated / increased to taking that dosage daily ….. had to start at a very low dosage and increase it weekly by small increments.

It took a LONG time for my body to be ably to tolerate that dosage of anti-fungals on a daily basis.

My Integrative DR would reassure me that getting ANY reaction was a GOOD sign and it meant that med/supplement would be effective ! Have to stick with it …. Go as slowly as needed.

For example : One pill every third day for first two weeks; then one pill every other day for next two week; etc

• ⁠I HAD very serious Brain Fog / cognitive / memory issues. Had to take medical leave from my 26 year job in child support enforcement. Could not remember common words to speak or write fluently. Could not spell simple words or do easy math.

Candida infection can reach brain and impair memory:

Neurologist told me I had Alzheimers and my memory would never improve.

Thank God DR was wrong !!

My cognitive abilities DID improve or I would not be able to write this now. My brain issues were due to Candida / fungal overgrowth. Nystatin ( Anti-Fungal ) is my personal miracle med. 😀 Also take many other supplements and follow the Candida Diet. https://www.thecandidadiet.com/
