@lindac61 I had never even heard of Cdiff before I got it. At first, I thought I had the flu. And then the Ecoli was going around from romaine lettuce. And I always use romaine so I thought for sure it was Ecoli. I waited about 10 days before I ever went to the doctor. By then, the Cdiff really had taken over my body. The 10 days on Flagyl didn't even faze it. And then 10 days on Vancomycin and it came right back. And then 6 weeks on the Vanco pulse and taper. And finally Dificid (fidaxamicin) which I asked my GI to prescribe. If that didn't work, I was ready to do the FMT. I'm amazed now when I hear how many people have had it. And all ages. We have friends whose daughter got it from taking meds for a UTI that turned in to a bladder infection. She a senior in high school. Be sure to bleach and wipe down your bathroom area. The Cdiff spores can live for months. My hands were so dry from hand washing and cleaning products. I'm sorry you have to wait until Monday to get on something. And hopefully, Dificid will work for you.
