C diff?

[ronroush7]

Do people have pain with c diff?

Yes, extreme cramping type pains often with stabbing pain too

The last month or so I have had accidents once a week and lately I have been having stomach pain.

Are you still waiting for your results? You poor thing! Get on the phone!

 

[ronroush7]

I am going to get the kit tomorrow. I don't drive but I found out I can get the kit from my GP around the corner.

 

[Hypocrohniac]

Oh, I see. Sorry, I though I read somewhere on here that you had done the test.

C Diff is pretty distinctive once you have it...there is a putrid odor, lots of mucous, D, often times bloody. Lots of cramping, sometimes accompanied with fever, and general a feelng of just not feeling well. Usually flagyl and cipro are the first antibiotics. If those don't work, then vancomycin is the next course, and then difficid. Ufortunately, I have had it five times and hospitalized with it four times.

No problem

 

[Ozboz]

Yeah i had it last year no fun

Not always I had no clue I had it because we caught it very quickly. Stool tests every 3months ... routine test to the rescue I honestly thought I was having a bad weekend.. bad food choices maybe. But it was c-diff
The antibiotics where worse than the infection for me

 

[mere282]

We went straight to vanco

 

[Hypocrohniac]

Hey Ron, have you done the test and posted your poo?

 

[ronroush7]

I am going to pick up the kit tomorrow.

 

[Hypocrohniac]

Excellent. Your pain needs to stop!

 

[ronroush7]

Thanks

I am going to my GP tomorrow to get my throat checked and at the same time ask for the c diff kit.

 

[Hypocrohniac]

Has it been yesterday yet? Did you GP visit go well?

 

[ronroush7]

Yes. I went because of my throat. I have the kit and will probably return it Monday.

 

[Hypocrohniac]

What was the update on your throat? Did he/she say anything about potential C-Diff too

 

[ronroush7]

I am having a barium swallow and my GI is switching me from Prevacid to pentanix. I go to the GI and see if I need a endoscopy. I will tell them about weekly faecal incontinence.
