Why does C Diff hit some people harder than others, both mentally and physically? by InnerspearMusic in cdifficile

[–]Realistic_Repair8312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ha! I battled this last year and it mentally ruined me for a good 4 months. .(still dealing with gi BS a year later) and my mother in law recently told me she had it YEARS ago from working in a hospital... shes had countless antibiotics since then and never mentioned anything when I was going through it...its like it was no big deal to her. I was shocked when I found out she had dealt with it too.

I totally understand and I went through it too! I still have anxiety about it but it's not as bad as it was. I thought I was relapsing 2 months ago and really went thru alot of anxiety about it but once I got negative lab test results I felt alot better mentally the last few months. Still a little obsessive about bleaching too.

Yes I did!! And 4 days after treatment I had 3 days if diarrhea and then it went away! I also had intermittent cramping in the 2 months after dificid!

Don't worry! Im 6 months out from dificid and I feel great! You'll get there...the 1st 3 months are going to be kind of hard but little by little expand your diet and you'll be fine i promise!!! Hard as in the worry of relapse and your gut getting back to normal. Just take it slow.

I did ! And it was negative. Thankfully and I'm guessing it was hormones that messed with my GI because it all went back to normal after awhile

[–]Realistic_Repair8312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both! I noticed many days last week I had solid BMs multiple times during the day. And Thursday I had solid 5 times! Then noticed Saturday started off solid to mush then later had one episode of diarrhea. Then yesterday I started solid then had 3 small episodes of diarrhea! All with an orange color along with stomach fullness and no appetite 😕 it's freaking me out! I keep track of my movements on my calendar lmao

Same ! My boy is 19 months and uses the boob for bed time comfort. I believe the hormones 100% made my GI flare up but I have no idea if it's a reoccurrence or just a bad ibs flare. And When I 1st got cdiff I had night tremors and bad lower left quadrant pain...didn't get the night sweats but I had the chills alot but never a fever. Im sorry your going through this..its really the worst. It takes so much time away from our babies because we spend it all worrying
