I seem to get a bladder infection about once a week. First I experience pain in my bladder to where I don't wanna use the bathroom cause it hurts. Then, after the pain goes away, it's like I want to get in there in scratch it. Anybody have anything similar with candida? Any information would be greatly appreciated. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I don't know if I definitely have candida or not but my bladder has been bothering me for years. I went to the urologist many times and was told that I have prostatitis. I was given antibiotics quite a few times but they never helped. I experience a minor pain with a constant feeling of liquid in the tip of my penis. It's a very uncomfortable feeling, especially while laying down. I'm hoping that by following the candida diet and taking antifungals I'll be cured of this but, like I said, I don't even know if I have candida or not.

Tom I'm much like you. I'm not 100% sure I have candida. But with the symptoms that I have I'm a prime candidate. So I'm giving the diet a go. You know, I've had problems with my bladder for years too. Just recently though it's been getting pretty bad. My bladder will hurt, then my lower back, then my sides, then my stomach, my chest. And I get the pins and needles feeling in my back almost everyday. Now I got another weird symptom, my pinky finger on my left hand is always numb. Weird huh, I'm only 25. I was really heathy untill I finished a course of antibiotics. Amoxicillon and Biaxin. So in the meantime I'm goona keep taking these natural antifungals and stay away from sugar.

I've had a lot of numbness and pins and needles recently too. I even went to have tests done and was told I have sensory neuropathy. Right now, my thumb is numb. I'm only 30 but with all of the symptoms I'm suffering from I feel like I'm 80.
