Re: Brain Fog
Many have complained of brain fog. Do not know if it is a result of the meds, anxiety, or the disease itself or a combo of the three.
Why don't you do some research and let us know the results.
Glad u re feeling better.

Re: Brain Fog
CDIFF can cause fatigue which also can cause brain fog.
It's difficult to say what a 'mild" case of CDIFF is unless you were treated and recovered quickly. Then I would not expect symptoms of brain fog to continue. As mentioned, medication can also cause this but once you are off it should go away,

Re: Brain Fog
Agree with NanciT.
Also unclear what would cause a case to be labeled "mild" except guessing if it responded quickly to medication???
People sometimes complain that Flagyl causes brain fog but it is temporary as is most other physical issues that go along with the infection. It just might take time.

Re: Brain Fog
Mild, 1-3 BM a day compared to 10-15 or so, and no fever excessive cramping. I've been on Vanco for about 5 days now so my symptoms have improved but still dealing with fatigue and "brain fog". Just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this.

Re: Brain Fog
I've been on 250 mg 4x a day Vanco since Monday. Still super tired although the brain fog isn't near as bad. My problem is the ears clogging. Hopefully it gets better for ya

Re: Brain Fog
I definitely am still having brain fog! I have 2 weeks left of my long vanco taper (I'm now on to every 3 days for 14 days) and I still feel very tired and "fuzzy." I'm not sure if this is also because I have a 4 month old and I still feel like I'm recovering from birth and all that came with that and not getting as much sleep anymore or if it really is just from the vanco. Or maybe a big fat cocktail of these 2 things that's making it doubly hard. I did notice that since being on the antibiotics I don't quite feel the same. I have felt more anxious as well and I've never ever struggled with that.

Re: Brain Fog
I am dealing with the anxiety as well. I've never had a problem with depression or anxiety in my life and actually didn't occur until my 3rd relapse I'm assuming my nerves are completely shot Sorry you are going through this with an infant

Re: Brain Fog
I had c-diff back in Sept 2014, and I remember the "brain fog" quite well. I had terrible fatigue, achiness and a flu-like feeling for quite some time, even for several months after being cured. Flagyl definitely made the brain fog worse. That was the drug from hell for me. With time the brain fog did go away. As I boosted up my immune system, started to eat a more balanced diet enriched with nutrients, along with adding Vitamin D, as I was deficient in it, I started to feel a lot better. For me, going gluten free helped my healing process significantly. Everybody is different, but that's what worked for me. But, I do think that "brain fog" is not uncommon with an infection like c-diff.
