Hi, if anyone can help by given my uplifiting advise. I ws in hopsital eight weeks ago and did have my IV'S for two weeks and my doctor also put me on a high dosage of IV steroids for three days. I started feeling great and coughing disappeared and phlegme reduce.
Anyway six weeks on the fungal drug and once I stopped it I notice I was unwell.
Fatigue, sleeping ever chance and tightness in my chest. My doctor decided to admit me again because my IGE was high and coughing and producing more mucous increased.

He immediately admitted me for three days of Iv steroids and on Cypro,Intaconzole.

Wow... within five days of taking the oral drugs I have fallen dramatically. Vomiting, pain in stomach, tightness, wheeze high up in chest and still coughing up phlegem. Unable to walk do try but its so hard just cant do it.
However, the phlegem decreased when in hospital but now its on the increase so to speak.

Has anyone any experience being on these drugs together. It is really getting me down I just feel so bad. Shoud I ask for Iv's for two?

Thank you
Sunflower

itraconazole kills yeast if you have an overgrowth it will make you ill because of the toxins the yeast release. I have no idea about the gastro issues. You can see these two threads for others going through similar issues:

hI Nicole,

How are u. I emailed you amonth ago but I realised you didn't get it!! I just see that I HAVE two post the same because again my computer crashed but it was received.

I am pretty ill....really ill and it's not pleaseant. I mean to be so sick, sick,
SO you think the antif is fighting the toxins. Mucous is thick and green it didnt quite start out like that. I stopped taking the anti fungal today. I know I will go back on it once the cypro is finished.

Oh just to let you know we are in the process of fostering to adopt. We have a couple of meetings left to go through. Talk soon.x
