relapse experiences?
Posted: Wed Dec 13, 2017 12:47 pm
i know it is not the best way of thinking, i should be all positive and hopefull, but i cant help but thinking that once im done with vanco (first round, 14 days, today is my 8th) i will fall into relapse - i just cant find any story about people getting well after just one round of meds!
so, i was hoping some of you can share some of your experiences with relapses - does it tend to be more intense then the first cdiff breakout, how long into relapse before you start meds again, whats the routine...
i am so so so scared of this, even though i did not have any dramatic experience by now, just D and bad cramping for 3-4 days before diagnosed i just cant bear the idea of slipping down that ugly road again.
whats worse, i am finishing my vanco round on december 20th so if i am to relapse, it might happen during the holidays and where i live it is pretty difficult to get medical care during the holidays :(
do forgive my defetist and a bit neurotic attitude with all this, it just caught me by surprise and since i wasnt feeling well since september (hence multiple antibiotics hence c diff in the end) i am just worried that my immunity is pretty compromised and i am afraid i just dont have what it takes to kill this bug with my first shot :(
thank you for all your replies and help, wish you all good health, x
