Hi everyone,
I am a 32-year-old woman. I was diagnosed with c. diff back at the beginning of March. Since then, I have been put on 10 days of Flagyl, 10 days of Vanco, 10 days of Dificid and then 10 days of Dificid again. All of these have failed. I just had a terrible night of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever. My GI now wants to try a long Vanco taper.
I'm feeling really scared and discouraged. Dificid is the magic bullet for most people but unfortunately it didn't give me a sustained cure. So now it's back to Vanco. I have been sick for so long. I feel like I will never beat this monster infection :(.
Has anyone had success with a Vanco taper AFTER trying Dificid?
4th relapse in 3 months :(
