OK. My test came back positive. No surprise there. Infec. Disease doc wants me to stay on Alinia for 10 days. 2x a day. She said they have had great success with Alinia knocking out C Diff. She said it is relatively new. So far, I have not had any more issues since late yesterday afternoon. The nurse said the fact that I have not had any more problems since yesterday (when I began the Alinia) is a good sign.
I will keep all of you updated on how the Alinia works out.
I am interested in the liquid Vanco, but my nurse told me that it may be very difficult to find the liquid form. She said it is already hard to find the capsule Vanco. We have several compounding pharmacies here in New Orleans. So, I think I will call them and see how hard it would be for them to get liquid Vanco for me. It looks like from what I have read it lasts about 2 weeks and must be stored in the refrigerator?
I will keep y'all posted. Thanks again for all of the input. Helps ease my mind.

So far, I am on my 6th day of Alinia and feel like a new person. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel. I am on the Alinia until this Wednesday. As we all know, we don't know what the future holds, so I will keep you posted...but as of right now, this Alinia is doing wonders for me. I pray, pray that it is working.
I have actually been able to work and run errands again! :D
