I was Diagnosed with C Diff and started on Flagyl 500 mg three times a day 9 days ago. I seriously feel alone. I am unsure if it’s the antibiotics or C diff but I feel horrible. I was admitted to the hospital for four days. They had to give me Atavan and Phenogran to help me sleep. Since I’ve been home I CAN’T eat or SLEEP! My heart rate is high and my anxiety has become unbearable was give ln Xanax .5mg. I go see a GI tomorrow’sI HOPE AND PRAY I can’t stop these awful antibiotics!! Has anyone else felt this was on Flagly

@layceelu - I hope you have a very informational meeting with a GI doctor. Being sick and feeling alone is something most of us can empathize with. I am blessed to have a loving husband on my liver transplant journey. Take notes of symptoms, feeling and medications before you get there, ask doctor to clarify things that you don't understand. Writing answers/notes while in the dr office may help - I always find seeing it my own notes helps me to understand. Please keep us posted.
Just got back from the GI doctor. He stopped the Flagyl and I start Vancomycin for a total of 14 days. Due to diarrhea started again at the 3am this morning! Which I crazing seeing how I can’t eat! I am praying that this antibiotic isn’t as harsh as the Flagyl. My blood pressure is now high and still having tachycardia!! This C Diff is no joke and just when I think it’s over BAM here we go again. For those that pray please send them my way. My children and husband need me. I am so sick of being weak and shaky!!

@layceelu , I really understand you feeling alone. It's very depressing to be sick and hopeless. I do know that anxiety makes inflammations worse. Ask your Dr for xanax or something similar. Good luck!
