Summary
Writing in r/cfs in March 2018, Wave 74055 described having fungal skin and toenail infections; a long course of heavy antibiotics made everything worse and they were dealing with thrush too. They tried the probiotic yeast saccharomyces boulardii (27 euro for 30 pills) and within a couple of days had a break in the brain fog and the thrush died right down. They planned to keep taking it for a couple of months to see if it lasted and/or they noticed other improvements.
