just venting
I'm so scared my last day on vanco was Sunday and I was doing really well. I had been taking the pill every 5th day for a couple weeks and having virtually no problems. Now, today I am not feeling that well and had 3 BM's it hasn't even been the full 4 days that usually are in between the vanco, so I'm petrified I am relapsing. I don't know how to handle it if I relapse again. I just want this nightmare to be over. I never felt so scared and alone as I do since I got this. I just want to take care of my 4 month old and put all this behind me. I just don't know what I will do if I relapse and how I will take care of my son. I hope I'm just having a bad day. Sorry for the rambling but I just needed to get this off my chest and no one else understands why I am so scared. Thanks to everyone for all the support this website has been the only thing keeping me somewhat sane!!!

Hi Jen,
it is really scary this illness. I totally agree with you. What helps me is to get my mind off this thing.
Do something positiv like seeing a friend or as the Vike says have a nice cup of tea.
You can't help thinking about your tummy 24/7 it seems. That can drive you crazy sometimes. So I go for walks with my dog a lot, no matter how miserable I feel and that gets my mind off it.
That is the trick though, get distracted and as time goes on, you are a day closer to victory. Start counting!
All the best + happy Easter!

Thank you so much to all of you. Bobbie I don't know how you dealed with this illness without this support site. I'm so happy you and your son are both better now. Thank you all for your kind words. That is exactly what it is like a rollercoaster. Well today is day 6 off the medication so far so good. Don't want to get my hopes up yet though I know I have a long road before I can relax. Does anyone know exactly when you can finally stop worrying? I know some people say 90 days, but I was wondering if it could be any shorter actually hoping LOL! Thank you all so much again. You guys are all so wonderful and I'm so happy for everyone who can say they are c-diff free!!! This site has helped my anxiety so much because when I have a bad day I at least know their is someone for me to talk to about the c-diff issues. Thanks again.

Jen:
Hang in there, it's quite possible that the worst is over for you. You will get a little better and stronger each day. It's sometimes really hard to notice, but keep track of the little gains, like no "d" and fewer Bm's....they all add up to making progress. Try to push yourself to be a little more active and try to get a little more exercise. It may be difficult at first, but when it gets easier you know that you're gaining ground. It's not going to be a smooth trip, you will stumble and slip back a time or two. Just don't get frustrated and give up. It took you awhile to get this sick, it's going to take some time for your body to heal and realize that it's well. It's just like climbing a tall building, one step at a time....don't worry about where you've been, or how far it is to the top, just the next step

Yeah well I haven't had a BM in 3 days, which was what I use to be like before c-diff. I'm not going to get to happy yet though because I've only been off the vanco for 7 days. I'm hoping however this is a good sign that maybe I am on my way to getting better. Thanks again everyone and HAPPY EASTER to all of you!!!!!!
