Hi all~ I want to thank you for your support while I was suffering with C. diff. I had it for 11 months.
I tried all kinds of vanco, high dose, tapered, pulsed, nothing worked. I never tried Flagyl, as I have peripheral neuropathies from lyme and didn't want to aggravate that.
What finally kicked the C. diff in me was the "Rifaximin Chaser" I took 2 weeks of oral vanco (250 mg tid) followed by 2 weeks of Rifaximin (200 mg tid). I went off that at Thanksgiving of 2006 and have been C. diff free ever since.
I even have been on minocycline for lyme disease AND exposed to my father in law and his room-mate (in a care facility)...and they both had C. diff!!! I was SO glad to not get it...and believe me I was very exposed, and had a compromised GI tract due to the antibiotics!
I hope to never get C. diff again.
Best wishes for your full recovery,
Timaca
C. diff free for a year!
