I have terrible c diff pain

Posted By HollyI (Marine City, Michigan) on 07/09/2009

I am 27 years old and as a result of taking care of my grandfather, I got MRSA. I didn't know it until it formed a lump in my breast. When the cyst was removed, my doctor noticed it had been infected and that's how I learned I had MRSA. Instead of going through another surgery to have a drain put in(my breast kept refilling with infection) my doctor put me on Clindamyosin. After finishing the medication, I felt good and the infection had cleared up, but a few days later I had major stomach problems. I always have a sensitive stomach and GERD so to me this was normal. It lasted ten days before I went to the ER. Which was last night. The pain was like nothing I have ever felt in my life. I just wanted to die. The ER doctor took a stool sample and told me to go home. No pain medication or anything. Today the lab called me and told me I have C Diff. now i am taking flagyl and sucking on pretzels. I can not eat and once I get into a position, I don't want to move because I will feel the pain again. I CAN'T believe I cried like a baby and I just want to lay in the fetal position. This is the worst thing to have and I would not wish this on anyone. I lost 4 pounds already. Anyone else feel like this????

I know it's an older thread but to answer your question, "has anyone ever felt like this?", I can tell you I have. I was literally worried about dying. I hope you have gotten rid of the c diff. I have read this entire web page and noticed no one has mentioned anything about a new drug called Difficid. It is made to treat c diff and nothing else. I just finished it a couple of days ago and so far the symptoms haven't totally bombarded me although for me it normally takes a few days to tell what is going to happen. The first time I had C diff and ended up in the er it was cleared up with flagyl (it took either two or three rounds). The second time which is now (it's been going on for several months now) I took the flagyl, then two rounds of vancomycin, and like I said I just finished this new drug called Difficid. In a couple of days I'm going to do another stool sample and I'll post my results to let everyone know if it worked.
