Hi Bex, Its nice to hear you again! I was away from the forum for awhile going thru difficult marital problems which were all consuming. Thank you for the feedback and I love Joeseph Mercola!
In answering your questions yes all my amalgams have been removed for alomost two yrs. And yes I went thru chelation.. I think it was 8 or 9 months of DMSA and ALA. I am 45 now , the perimenopause kicked in while I was still 44. So Ive been on the low bc pill now for about9 months. I'm nervous to quit the loestrin cuz mostly it may have helped balance me emotionally,but I am on celexa (antidepressant) at full dose again. Im tempted to go off the pill, do a rigid diet change stay on the AD's right now and pray! Maybe the reason I could never get rid of the yeasty beasty is becuase of the bc pill.
I was also on the pill for 5 years before kids. That of course didn't help. So maybe I could do some progesterone cream or something. Decided to add threelac too, its on its way. I heard really good things about it. It seems like its imperative that one gives up gluten and wheat with candida- not just sugar and yeast. Is this true? Thx Bex for all the help (my resource center) I will not give up. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me! Take care! Diane
