Flagyl? Working?
Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2017 9:17 am
Hi all. I'm an 18 year old female and was just diagnosed with c. diff. I've been suffering unknowingly for months, but I've only had 4 episodes. The first was most severe, after that I thought I just had food intolerance or something. There would be weeks at a time where I had no symptoms at all. So I am still a little confused about how I could have this infection.
Anyways, I start Flagyl today 3x. a day for two weeks. I get the feeling it's pretty a pretty strong antibiotic. I was warned, even underage, to not ingest a single sip of alcohol unless I'm violently ill. I had to cancel an oral surgery I've had scheduled because my doc said all the anti's I'd be on in a short time could ruin my kidneys. I've read that it can make you feel pretty badly, and of course my graduation party is in a week. I'm really worried that I'll feel even worse on Flagyl & I want to have a good time. You only graduate once.
Additionally, I work in the food industry & took a couple days off when I was being tested before I ever got a diagnosis. Now that I have the diagnosis, should I be working around food? Will Flagyl make me feel too bad to be standing up all day around heat (it gets very hot as we have an active bakery) working?
