What Causes Pain In The Joints And Frequent Yeast Infections?
After getting valley fever I now have aches and pains in my joints which I never had before also I frequently have yeast infections whic I never had before. Is this because of the valley fever and how often can I take the medication called diflucan in a month? It is the thing makes me feel better. It seems also to help the aching in my joints. I was a very healthy, active woman before I got valley fever. Do you have any suggestions. I live in an area that Doctors don t know a lot about VF. I got while visiting in Arizona. I live in San Francisco Ca. Thank you for listening.

Hi,
The recurrent yeast infection is secondary to low immunity after valley fever as there may be circulating autoantibodies in the blood.
The multiple joint pain can be related to trace elements, magnesium deficiency of certain HLA alteration via the immune system.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
