I have received several calls at my home already with people that have it or are on anitbiotics now and knew nothing of this and wanted to tthank me. Thank you LORD! Let's hope the word spreads so no one else suffers needlessly.

I happen to live in the Lakeland area and read your article in last Sunday's Ledger. Lo and behold my husband ends up at LRMC in ER on Thursday morning with severe colitis due to c.diff. This is his 4th relapse, and most severe, in the past 14 months. Of course he was also severly dehydrated from running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. Although I hate to see anyone suffer from this terrible infection......it is nice to know that we are not alone. Thanks again for sharing your journey.
