I know this may not apply to most but for some that do, I read on some forum where the guy had it real bad, and felt drunk all the time, with time he got better and better by getting rid of it (it takes a long time apparently). The cause was fungus in his system brewing fermenting you could say hence the drunk feeling. Thought I throw this out there it might help someone.
Did he say how he 'got rid of it'? And how it was diagnosed? Interesting. I've said, though I don't drink--never have, the feeling I have daily from mild to not so mild is like the description people give of feeling like they have had too much to drink. Or a 'hang-over' as they put it. Another interesting post here for sure. Anyone else have this too?
Many days I feel "drunk".... when I am in a full blown attack its like the bedspins X 10000000 - Def interesting.
http://www.menieres.org/forum/index.php/topic,30007.0.html Lots of good information here. Yanksgirl, have you ever investigated whether you have a candida infection?
Not specifically--but if I had one, it would have been detected by my Gyn doctor or Urologist--and the answer is 'no' I have never had Candida. I have no burning, itching, etc. Have a prolapsed bladder--but no Candida! Thanks for the suggestion because had I never been checked, I'd have wondered.
I think if the candida is systemic, you can have it without the itching burning symptoms. I feel so bad that you have such debilitating symptoms. If you read the thread that I posted the link to, you may find something that resonates with you. Maybe research leaky gut. Worth a try to get some relief?
