On top of my CFS, I've been sick since the end of October....great way to spend the holidays and my birthday I say with complete sarcasm.... No support from my grown daughters who either don't get it or don't want to...very sad and depressing for me.
So after being sick for the first month, I was given antibiotics (Clindamycin) after running a fever of 102
and feeling absolutely horrible with what appeared to be a sinus infection and nasty throat (doctor said my throat looked impressive). Several days after I ended the Clindamycin, I began waking up with serious stomach pain - ulcer level pain. I finally went to the doctor and received a diagnosis of C-Diff. Holy Cow !
Serious and very bad bacterial infection in my digestive system.....
More antibitotics...this time, the big guns- Metrodinazole (Flagyl). If this doesn't get rid of it, next is Vancomycin...there's not much beyond Vanco.
I have atypical symptoms of C-Diff- no diarrhea (which is usually the primary symptom). C-Diff is usually all in the intestines causing severe diarrhea and cramps, etc. For me, it's all in my stomach...
with headaches, no appetite, nausea, mucous in stool, constipated, general very sick feeling in stomach and add several notches to my fatigue level...
Has anyone else had to deal with c-diff on top of me/cfs?
I feel so vulnerable already with cfs and a compromised immune system.
This just puts my overall health at greater risk.
I also just ordered a special probiotic (SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII) which is supposed to help with C-diff...
I'd love to hear if anyone else with me/cfs has had to deal with c-diff...as I'm feeling incredibly alone..
Thank you!
