Brief Answer:
Seems like systemic candida
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
From your description it seems like candida or another related fungal infection. It can become disseminated due to lowered immunity or altered flora after medicine use. I dont know what you have tried till now.
In such cases I have seen that antifungals are prescribed and then you will need them lifelong.
I would suggest that you take steps to increase immunity. It does not mean testing and more medicines. In fact it means lowering the intake of medicines, taking more of fruits and salad, exercising daily for atleast 30 min. Exercise can include gym, walk, yoga, swimming, cycling, etc. Try some breathing techniques to get relief from related stress and also expel toxins from breath.
Also take hygienic food and cleanest drinking water with very low ppm. This will help with the leaky gut.
A microscopic analysis of the discharges will help narrow the diagnosis.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if I can assist you.

Hi Dr Vaishalee,
Thankyou for your assessment of myself. I think your option is very good. I thought It was that about 1 year ago after doing some reading online. I have been to quiet a few Doctors in Australia and I can't find a good one.
To fill you in further. I Have suffered from depression and anxiety in my life due to a terrible upbringing and had a lot of bad luck. I was diagnosed with mild panic disorder when I was 24. The XXXXXXX i was seeing tried about 10 different antidepressants on me. The Doctor found that Citalopram worked best but I couldn't shut down at night. I over came depression and anxiety and made my life happy and successful. I had by then stopped using the antidepressants. I was fit happy and life was good. I started smoking meth/ice because I could not keep up with my lifestyle and it took away pain I had been in my whole life back and sinus. I ended up having a lot of things in my life go wrong and I kept using the drug to try and push through. In the end i got very sick and burnt out. I stopped smoking cigarets over ! year ago first then meth/ice 10 months ago.
in the end no matter what I ate or how much exercise i did the pain in the end was unbearable and I stopped. I kept using it to try and work out what was wrong with me and to run do exercise and be strong I found out some terrible stuff about my family and lost my business and house because I was to run down and kept using the drug to cope. I went through a terrible time.
my question is did meth/ice cause the condition i have now. And I have tried everything to detox. my body is very dry. nothing works. I have just seen a china medicine clinic and they said to keep drinking hot water non stop. I have an R/o water filter and have just started trying to drink that. Do you know what I could do and because of my health I am very depressed. should I go back o antidepressants?
I just thought i would add. I have lumps through my large intestine. And when i use a brush to try and get them out i spit up white powder. I believe its ftom yhe meth. Areas of my body feel like they cant get fluid and feels like they r dead. How do i get yhis stuff out of me. I keep getting infections and this is causing me anziety. Sometimes half my face looses presure.i thought i would add this just please let me know what you think. Tgsnkyou for your time.

Brief Answer:
There are many options to recover
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have read your followup in detail and I am sorry for what you have dealt with in life.
Actually I do agree with you to some extent that meth may have caused it. The reason would be addition of factors like effect of the medicine itself and low energy during stressful times. This gave this "white stuff" an opportunity to grow in you. It is very common nowadays. People are able to control it with their good lifestyle. I have personally observed that this white stuff contaminates water at some places and causes similar conditions as in you. I have also observed that it does not respond to antifungals and taking them makes it worse. It may be some type of mite like demodex or something in between fungus and mite. Cleansing does not help either. One thing that keeps it in control is drinking RO system water. So you are already on right track.
Slowly this stuff will decrease. Till then you have to avoid all sorts of medicines and unhygienic foods/water. Also avoid the chemical cleanses as they will do more damage than good. I personally think that removing the intestinal layer is not a good idea. Natural immunity does a great job in restoring health especially in absence of medicines.
You have have depression and anxiety. Part of it is resulting from impressions on your memory from past experiences. You will need to learn to live in present moment. For this I suggest that you try breathing techniques called as XXXXXXX XXXXXXX This will raise your energy and help erase the unpleasant memories as well. Blood circulation will also get better with such techniques.
Half of your face losing pressure is due to inflammation in and around facial nerve. This inflammation may be result of viral infection. This will decrease once the white stuff decreases.
Consult a surgeon and check if he can excise/debride some lumps.
I just remembered that a nice cleanse is done by XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ayurveda with clarified butter (ghee). I have heard that it is safe and effective.
XXXXXXX and ayurveda are ancient and I think these will help you.
Hope this helps you.

Thankyou so much for the detailed answer. Its funny i thought of mites to. Whenvi was just about dead a year ago i had a onion bath. I rubed neam oil all over my head before and when i was in the bath hundreds of baby mites came out. I even saw them in my cheek and pulled one out. My doctor would not believe me. In a previous job i had i worked around spidermites. We were alwayse spraying them. I could feel things crawling around and it was not the drugs. I even looked at toxoplasmosis. I will continue to eat well, exerscise and detox. Thankyou for your time. Its been hell hopefuly it starts to get better. Thankyou
The other thing i thought of was i wss taking alot of royal jelly and propolis around the time the problem started. The were from a guy who had imported them from china and they were apparently contaminated. Have u seen the mite and fungus that is like aids to bees? Bit far feached mabe but i went mad trying to work it out. Thanks again

Brief Answer:
Yes it may be contaminated
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Yes propolis and royal jelly may be contaminated. Mites may infect just anything. Even in airtight closed jars insects can grow up in some time. Though I have not seen but yes there are mites in nature that can grow on these insects.
The best way to confirm is to get the secretions and the white stuff examined under microscope by a microbiologist. Since the mites were on your scalp, they can be the follicle mites.
Whatever the white stuff is, treatment is still the same. Aim should be to control them, since their eradication may be hard. Lindane lotion can be applied overnight and washed other day. It should not be applied on face. It is for external use only. Next session should be atleast after 1 week.
