@sandyabbey I was in hopes you would give us an update after finishing the Dificid. I agree with you regarding the cost. I could have taken it after my first bout of Cdiff when the Flagyl didn't work. But I decided, because of the cost, to go with Vancomycin. And after doing 10 days on Vanco and then another relapse and doing the Vanco taper, I finally said enough and I'll pay the Dificid high price. Our insurance paid all but about $1,000. Terrible. But they say it's because it's a new drug and is only used for C.diff. I finished the Dificid on Oct. 26th and have not had a relapse. I knock on wood every time I say that. I now need to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. I'm worried about doing the cleaning and going through the process. And like you, if I have another relapse, I'll do the FMT. 2018 is a year I'm happy to put behind me. 🙂
Prayers for you, none of this is easy and glad we have this forum to turn to when we feel hopeless...hugs~~
