I've had the same concerns/worries about having to take another antibiotic down the road. And I agree that the doctors don't tell us enough about recovery from C-diff. Don't they know? I find that even if I ask direct questions I do not get direct answers. Maybe part of that is because every person heals differently, I don't know. I originally thought that once I felt better from the initial awful experience of C-diff, I would get better, just like any other infection but I've found this to be different with C-diff and it's a slow recovery as we've all talked about. AND the long -term effects are still a question to me. But we'll all keep the faith and be our own best advocate.
