How long

Postby Jodiekee » Sat Oct 09, 2021 5:27 pm

How long did it take you to start feeling better on vanco? And the D to stop? And the weakness and fatigue and flu feeling to go away?

I can't say I really felt well on vanco, but the D did stop after about 4 or 5 days.

Neither do I. The GAstro said Friday to go to hospital. He was shocked I made it this long. I’m deathly afraid of hospitals, but I think I’m headed there very soon. Every time I take a vanco, I feel weaker and weaker. I don’t understand.

It's better to get checked out if you have continued with D and are feeling weaker and weaker. Your electrolytes can be off.

During my initial year with CDIFF, I ended up in the ER several times due to very low potassium. I was on Vanco 3 1/2 months at the time.

I would also talk with your GI if D continues and does not improve, possibly try Dificid

Hope you feel better soon
