It sounds like you are going through about the same thing I did at about the same time, unfortunately. I happened to be about 400 miles from home, living in a motel trying to work. I spent literally all day long coughing up thick, brown goo and vomiting my lunch and breakfast. It's hard to believe it was that long ago but it was nearly 6 months. I had thrush pretty much all the time for 4-5 months. I think the burning in my throat and on my tongue was some of the toughest pain I remember. Even trying yogurt burned so bad I could hardly take it. If the medicine is making you that sick, try to go back to the Diflucan but take it a bit longer, if possible.
When you feel like getting out of the house, just do it. Getting a bit of fresh air and just walking to circulate the blood is not bad at all. I had some of the restless anxiety as you describe it. The shakiness could very well be side effects from the narcotics, too. It all takes time and even though it is tough right now, you still have a little more to endure. Hang in there, it will get better a little at a time.
