Re: Sick--not sure what's going on--ideas??

Get yourself some genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus . Any health food
store coan help you with these.

It's possible from the symptoms described that your illness & subsequent
antibiotic use have brought on a mild form of candidiasis.

I'd say it's time for some PRObiotics.

Well, 6 weeks ago I started with a sore throat. Started a sinus
infection
(blowing my nose --yellowish guck). Then went to tonsilitis and then
bronchitis and possible heading for pneumonia.

Saw doctor and he gave me amoxicillan which worked wonderfully on the
lower
respritory problems. No more bronchitis, coughing, etc. But I have still
felt TOTALLY like crap. I still get sore throats.

The scariest is the fatigue. Some days I feel better than others but I
am
clearly deeply exhausted. When I have energy and expend it a bit I get
wiped
out.

Just had sinus x-ray and chest x-ray and blood tests, all were negative.

I teach at a University and fortunately much of the time I feel somewhat
okay and can sail through the teaching but after that I am wiped out by
afternoon.


This has been 6 weeks. Could this be CFS or just a slow recovery
or??????

Oh another problem is I get so fatigued that I actually can't sleep.
Ambien
helps big time and gives me a good night's sleep which gets me a better
start on the next day. But I don't want to get dependent on it.

I am 60 years old, male.

Any thoughts?? Perhaps time for antibiotics again despite no test
evidence of infection?
