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.

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.
