I did not have any paralysis, however, my lips swelled up like I had plastic surgery. No other allergic symptoms happened though. My doc will not prescribe me difflucan since this iepisode which makes fighting yeast really difficult.
Perhaps this was die off that resulted in a herx.

same reaction as lymeherx-hard to walk/move as if heavy weights attached to legs and arms. Could hardly put one foot in front of another when I first went on it last year.

Wow...So is it from the med or you have a high load of yeast??
There are many natural meds to use against yeast. And then of course....follow a good diet.

Hubby has been on diflucan on several different occasions. He didn't have any type of paralysis while on it. Guess he was lucky.

Ive had severe numbness from my neck up when I first took difflucan. It was very scary and happend within 30 min of taking it.
Most of the pill melted in my mouth. This was back in 2006 when I was very ill.

My daughter was put on a protocol that was supposed to last 40 or 60 days--I can't remember and she only made it about 32 days. She got drug induced hepatitis from it. My understanding of what happened with her was diflucan goes on the same pathways as some of the other heavy duty meds she was on at the time and it increased all of the levels of everything she was taking. Her psychiatrist finally unraveled the mystery after I told him she fell in the pool on her way back to her apartment after getting her mail. She was very sick from it and begged 3 different doctors to hospitalize her. It took months to get back to where she was before the diflucan, only to get sicker from a duck giving her steroids. We are still not back from that mishap and it has been about 2 years.
My point is that the diflucan may be raising the levels of other meds you are on. The lyme specialist we were seeing never caught my daughter's problem.
She can take diflucan if she takes like 2/week and away from other meds.
Hope you feel better.
