WHAT ABOUT A STEROID SHAMPOO LIKE CLOBETASOL, NEED A SCRIPT.

ALSO FOR ITCHING GOOD OLD FASHIONED BENADRYL.

JUST A THOUGHT, FEEL BETTER. I ALSO AM GOING ON 3 MONTHS SINCE I GOT CDIFF, HAD A BOUT 20 YEARS AGO. SUPPOSEDLY IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST BOUT, THE ANTIBIOTIC MIGHT TAKE IT AWAY, HOWEVER FOR ME. I CAUGHT A BOUT OF IT 20 YEARS AGO. NOW DOCTORS TELL ME THAT SINCE THIS IS MY SECOND BOUT, THE TOXIN WILL ALWAYS COME BACK IF I NEED AN ANTIBIOTIC LETS SAY FOR PNEUMONIA. THEY TOLD ME SO EACH TIME, I NEED AN ANTIBIOTIC FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I MUST ALSO TAKE VANCOMYCIN BUT IN A LOWER DOSE WITH THE ANTIBIOTIC AND FOR 5 DAYS AFTER YOU FINISH THE OTHER ANTIBIOTIC TO HELP PREVENT THIS FROM ACTING UP.MANY SAY IT TAKES A LONG TIME , MORE SO IF YOU HAVE OTHER HEALTH ISSUES, GOT TO JUST DO ONE THING A DAY, AND THEN REST, FOR ME THE PAINS IN UPPER AND LOWER STOMACH, ARE HORRENDOUS. AND THE NAUSEA, BUT ZOFRAN HELPS THAT. THEY ALSO HAVE BENTYL FOR STOMACH CRAMPS, AND PROBIOTIC FLORASTER THERE ARE MANY MEDICAL REPORTS, THAT SAY IT HELPS TO TAKE EVERY DAY. HOWEVER ITS LIKE $40 A BOTTLE OF 100, AND YOU TAKE 2 A DAY, I JUST STARTED IT A WEEK AGO, BUT IT IS THE ONLY PROBIOTIC THAT HAS MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION ON IT HELPING CDIFF.

IM A RESPIRATORY THERAPIST, BUT THANK GOD I WORK REMOTELY. MY TOILET IS CLOSE. ITS A TERRIBLE BACTERIA TO HAVE. FEEL BETTER, KAREL

Thank you for your response Karel. I got C-Diff from an antibiotic that I didn't think I needed but I trusted my doctor. I never knew you could get it from an antibiotic. I took a course of Vancomycin and then had a recurrence and was put on a taper. It hasn't come back and I pray that it never will! I hope in time I will improve. One day at a time. I pray for healing for you, Karel. Feel Better, Mary
