C. Diff

Well, happy to say that I'm finally getting some relief - its been 2 weeks with C. Diff in my system and the Flagyl did not do much to improve it - so I'm now on Vancocyin (250 mg, every 6 hrs = 4 x day) for almost 3 days . I would not wish this infection on my worst enemy!!! It is so painful, consuming, cramping, putrid-smelling and imobilizing! I hope that I do not have a relapse of the dreaded stuff - but understand it is quite possible if all the spore don't die. Oh- and FYI - found out this is highly contagious - didn't learn that until this week. So  if you get C. Diff - wash your hands profusely (hand sanitzier gels DO NOT KILL THIS nasty bug!) and use Lysol killer spray on all bathroom surfaces so you don't infect anyone else or reinfect yourself.
