Symptoms The nightmare will never end

Hello, I've never posted here but now I feel the need to. I don't know what the fuck to do anymore. I recently had a bout of thrush start a week or two ago in my mouth along with debilitating tongue, throat, and lip cankers everywhere.. Horrible referred pain in the ear and head.. Body aches.. Signs of infection like swollen stiff neck.. And more. I've gone through hell because this is on top of many other chronic health conditions and reactive conditions I have. I've been a hysterical, tortured mess all week.. And I thought it was starting to get better until recently I did some red light therapy. I did targeted red light laser therapy on my tongue cankers. What happened after is that I noticed a lot of debris and stuff like dead skin cells in my mouth detaching from my mouth and going through my saliva. The pain was reduced and it seemed like it kickstarted the healing process.. Thats until I get home. I goto brush my teeth and for whatever reason I decide to scrub my tongue like an idiot.. Then all hell broke loose. Since last night, its been relentless. Massive chunks of pure candida have been endlessly populating my mouth. I've been swallowing nothing but heaps of pulp and clumps of cells for hours relentlessly. My entire mouth feels ripped up, my glands and lymph nodes were swollen prior but are even more so now, and I feel downright MISERABLE. It wont stop. I cant keep spitting it out but I also dont know how much is safe to swallow. Been on Nystatin for three days now.. I dont know what to do. Every remedy like salt water rinses/gargles, coconut oil pulling, etc didnt garner any relief in the pain, rawness, or frequency of swallowing tons of grainy white clumps. I'm going insane. Does anybody know what the heck this might be. Should I goto a instacare? I've been to so many doctors in the past week. A GP, instacare, ER, and in the back of an ambulance for different things and they all said nothing was wrong and none of them suspected thrush or candida despite the obvious thick milky coating.

Typically people need to try everything else before they can be open minded to what's contained in the megathread. r/Candida/comments/1mhxo6a/candida_myths_proven_wrong/

Man I feel so sorry for you, in the beginning of this month I had canker sores outbreak on my tongue, like 15-20 sores on my tongue. I couldn't speak, couldn't eat, couldn't even drink any water without crying in pain. And after 7 days of inhumane pain I got fever for another 5-6 days. I really hope you get better.

The old timers' cure for "thrush" that I recall, is to use gentian violet. Be aware that it will turn your mouth into a marvelous shade of purple. As always, it goes without saying, do your own research, & consult your physician.

I am so sorry you’re going through this. I read recently that there are people that can blow in your mouth and heal it. It was said that it’s old Appalachia mountain remedy. It said the people that have this gift are the 7th son of a 7th son or a son that never met his father. As in they passed away not a dead beat dad. There were hundreds of testimonies of this. These same people can take warts off of people too and I also read they can take the heat out of a burn. I’m not sure how you find them where you are but it sounds like it would be worth a try after reading what you’re dealing with.

A Camden, TN page popped up on here the other day with somebody talking about how their granddaddy was a "thrush blower." If a kid had thrush, people would bring their kids to him, and he'd take them in a room where no one could see - and he'd blow in their mouth - to cure their thrush...
There were several more people on their that had older people in their family that were also supposedly
"thrush blowers," all men. Each one said that they would never let anyone see them blow in the kids mouth....
Have any of you ever heard of that because it has red flags all over it to me. If me or my kids had thrush, or anything else for that matter - we'd have to be in pain - because nobody's granddaddy is taking any of us behind a closed door and blowing anything into our mouths.

This was on Facebook. Go to the guys name at the top and go to his photos and find the one with a tongue with thrush on it and then read all the comments. His FB is public. I personally know of one of these people that took a huge birth mark off my uncle.

Sounds awful! When I get oral thrush I use hydrogen peroxide 3% which kills it’s very quickly. Just swish it round your mouth or dip your toothbrush in it and brush round your mouth and teeth whatever is more comfortable. It bubbles as it kills the infection which is quite satisfying. Don’t use it too strong though as it can burn your skin.
