When I turned 40, I got horribly sick and actually thought perhaps I was dying. My symptoms were numerous, far to many to list here, but the worst ones were muscle inflammation in my left hip that was so painful it kept me from walking, pleurisy, open sores in my scalp and everywhere else coarse hair grows on the body, my skin hurt across my back, and at the last a bacterial infection took over in my intestine and I had cramping and diarrhea and was passing nothing but blood. It took a long time, but we finally discovered it was yeast when I took Nystatin for thrush that developed on my tongue and, lo and behold, all my symptoms began to improve. Needless to say, I didn't stay on the Nystatin, but I did change my diet and have had only minor flair-ups since then.
Recently, (I am 50 now) the pain in my left hip returned. I recognized it as yeast, started taking the yeast assassin and probiotics and drinking garlic tea every day. The hip is almost back to normal, but while it was improving I started noticing a very sharp, specific pain in my right ankle. I figured it was more toxins from the yeast, so I just stayed the course. But the ankle is not getting better, and this morning I woke up with the same pain, in the same place, in my left ankle! The pain is just above the inside ankle bone and that spot is also very tender to the touch. There is no swelling at the site of the pain, but there is swelling just below the ankle bone, and the swelling stops short of the arch in my foot. There is no swelling nor pain anywhere else. Walking on it actually makes it feel better, but I can't walk on it all the time because the pain just wears me out. Is this just the getting worse before it gets better, or am I missing something here? The hip pain began two months ago and started to improve right after I started taking the stuff to kill the yeast. I've been treating the yeast for about a month now, and have had the pain in my right ankle for about 2 weeks.
