My mother had many of the same symptoms you decribed. She also did not get any help from all the doctors she visited. Thankfully she was opened minded about alternative healing, since I have been into natural healing methods for many years.
We modified her diet and removed all sugar, and white flour, dariy products for a period of time. Also all grains that contained gluten. At the same time I gave her natural herbs that would kill off any nasty bacteria. Candida is another word for it. Because of the drugs and anti-biotics and processed foods, we have gotten our balance of good vs. bad bacteria out of balance in our digestive system. This can cause the candida to be a systemic problem and give you all sorts of symptoms.
To make a long story short, she is so much better now, but it took a sustained effort.
