Vikingjeff28's case history
Took Clyndamicin for infection and developed C diff in Sept 08. I was going to Bathroom 30-40 times a day for a few days before I gave in and went to dr. I was self treating at home, did not even know C diff existed. I ended up in hospital for 30 days total from Sept 08-Dec 08. I had Pseudo Colitis, lost 35 pounds, rashes, irregular heartbeat, thrush, the works. Took 3 courses of flagyl, only 5 days of liquid vanco in hospital and then Xifaxin for 10 days. I slowly recovered, gained my weight back and then out of nowhere, relapsed again in Sept. 09. I am now on 8 week tapering course of Vanco.

hey jeff, reading your story sounds a lot like mine. I took antibiotics (without having a test done first) for strep throat, when I had like 1 antibiotic left I got diarrhea, bad abdominal pains, bloody diarrhea, vomitting (total of like 3-4 days before going to the hospital) also because I didnt know about C diff and thought itll go away itself.
Sorry to hear about the relapse - that really sucks dude.
