Severe Pain
I've been off my last round of vanco for about 2-2 1/2 months now. I've had slight stomach issues but nothing too severe. Yesterday I woke up with severe stomach pain, not cramping like other times I've had cdiff but a full curling up wanting to cry pain. Now it's coming and going and the severity to which it hurts is varying as well. There's always a dull pain but sometimes it hurts so bad I get lightheaded. The pain is all over my abdomin but centering mostly in the middle to lower abdomin. I had diahrea twice yesterday and only once today (although its only 1). Does this sound like another relapse? I would say it is, but the pain is different and so much worse. I hope its not as this will be the forth or fifth time in 7 months that I've had it.

That is the pain that put me in the hospital as I could not eat or drink for months. Mine went into colitis, gastritis, had 3 colonoscopies and 2 endoscopies in 30 days. Call your doc or go to ER if it is really bad and get it checked. My gut does hurt from time to time and I have now been off of my 8 week taper of vanco for 3 weeks. I also have relapsed 4 times in a year nad a half. Go ge tit checked if it does not stop, that is what I did when it happened to me.

I know, I should have seen a GI before. I've been seeing my family doctor so far, I've only had it for 6-7 months so even though I've had a few relapses I just never thought about it. Stupid, I know, I need to take better care of this. I'm going to see a GI at St Mary's Hospital next week though, so hopefully we can get this under control.
