...after first 2 weeks of VANCOMYCIN, didnt work, my gp prescribed Dificid - but pharmacy said they didnt have any and couldnt get any... I later found out they could have got some in for me in a week but i didn't know i could wait; it was $2000.00 - no kidding, and pharmacist said to me... oh you dont want to pay that; but I phoned my insurance company and they WOULD have paid.. anyway my husband said we will take money out of savings if it works better, none of Pharmacists business if I paid cash . They say knowledge can be a dangerous thing but I darn well wish I had known more as I believe Difficid works quite well? I feel my bowel is damaged for LIFE. If I were younger and not living in Northern Ontario I would have pursued a fecal transplant but why are they playing this down lately...they were all overjoyed at results now I find hardly anything... Big Pharma wont be able to sell as many antibiotics if we get better with a transplant? I am disillusioned, fed up and dont trust some drs any more and even not some pharmacists! C.Diff is like a hidden illness and no I didn't get it in hospital but from about 6 antibiotics in 5 months for uti that could have been treated differently.... my stupidity!!! Now i have to wallow in fecal incontinence for the rest of my life... yep, feeling sorry for myself today!! Grrrr
