I’ve decided to start a series about my experience of health for several reasons:
1. To catalog my progress
2. To share my path
3. Make a difference
As a wellness coach (see www.coachingyouwell.com) I suppose this makes sense!
The EARLY Years
My childhood wasn’t exactly horrible but it could have been better…….Growing up gay was tough enough but having acne was a real drag. I pleaded with my Mom to go to a dermatologist and do something about it. The acne wasn’t actually that bad but I was overly sensitive to it and maybe just a wee bit vain! 
Thus began the path to ill health for so many years. Why? I got on a 4 year cycle of taking antibiotics. Very bad decision. Once I finally got off of them, my health went downhill quickly. After SO many trials, strange diets (that’s a story in itself), I was finally diagnosed with a newly identified malady – Candidiasas.
What did that mean for life moving forward? Look for the next installment soon!!!!
The connection between antibiotics and beginning a path to ill health, leading eventually to Candidiasas, or as I have used the term Candida, is important information for people to become aware and learn about. Candida can masquarade as so many symptoms. I am curious about how you were diagnosed with it since many doctors would not recognize it.
I hope you do well with this series and get some good feedback too.
