1373852 tn?1307843048 t end up with avelox but took leavaquin that is a kin of avelox and six days later ended up having respiratory failure and in the hospital for 3 months one of which I was in icu on a ventilator.Since then I have had widespread muscular pain and multiple tendonitis as well as other issues so I don't agree that these antibiotics don't have side effects maybe you should read up more about the new black box warnings.
Avatar f tn she sent me to the asthma and allergy clinic where i was tested for 27 diff allergies all negative for. my nose was bleeding and i had a fever, 2 days after finishing levaquin. asthma clinic sent me for a cat scan of my head which showed a horrible infection in my sinuses. coughing was out of control. they put me on a 2 wk regimen of avelox. i am not having any side effects from it, but infection continues to get worse. at this point i feel no end in sight for this infection.

3166043 tn?1514260018 So I recently started using [Dalacin T - topical treatment](http://www.drugs.com/uk/dalacin-t-1-topical-solution-leaflet.html) again for my acne now that I have drug coverage. (Previously used it 2009-2012 after a severe ance breakout) I have severe health anxiety and I remember that diarrhea is a side effect from using it so when I had a loose stool last night and just a hour ago i'm pretty sure I have C-diff. I have severe health anxiety.

Avatar n tn s put on a course of antibiotics specific for treating C. diff. Make sure they discuss the subject thoroughly as C. diff can be difficult to resolve.
Avatar f tn I have a father i lost to c diff and now a mother battling it can anyone help me. Need a specialist or someone educated for guidance. They are older and cannot find the help we need. Please anyone with anything would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn my father was recently diagnosed with c diff. he has two small dogs and they do have accidents in the house. going forward, is there anything special we should use to clean the carpet? Obviously I can not use bleach on the carpet so I'm looking for professional help?
Avatar f tn Hi, just recovered from C Diff as well. Had it for 5 months and it took three extended rounds of antibiotics to completely knock it out, the last round being a six week vancomycin taper. I had many "false negative" lab results in between relapses. You didnt mention which med you took for your C Diff, but I just wanted to add that my first round was Flagyl, and it caused the numbness/tingling/swelling for me. The vancomycin did not.
Avatar m tn I was on antibiotics most of the summer for various reason and then when I got a abscessed tooth the dentist gave me a antibiotic that in the end I got c-diff and was prescribed flagyl for 10 days. After taking the medication I felt better but now about a little over 2 weeks I have a tightness in my stomach and feel bloated, really gassy, plus my stool isn't diarrhea but is not really my normal stool. I also have an occasional discomfort under or right at my belly button.
Avatar n tn I tested postitive for C-Diif. I was given 7 days of Avaloc and 12 days of flagyl. One day after finishing the antibiotics I took 3 stools samples and they were negative. Was it too soon to test?
Avatar f tn my 1 year old daughter has c-diff and they put her on a antibiotic to treat her for it, she ran out of medicine a day early is that ok? she also still has diareah and it still has the smell it had when she had c-diff should i get her tested again.? is it normal for it not to go away after her taking medicind?
Avatar f tn My dog is paralyzed from ruptured discs in her back despite surgery. She obviously has no bowel or bladder control secondary to this. She has been on antibiotics twice for a urinary tract infection in the last 16 months. She has never had diarrhea but since she does occasionally have an accident in the house, I was curious whether a human can get C diff from her.
Avatar n tn it binds some toxins, produced by C-diff. Antibiotic still have to be useed.
1994720 tn?1352742233 I never got relief for my symptoms. Four months of no help or solution--3 gynecologists, a urologist, an infectious disease doctor, my primary care doctor, etc. I bought "The V Book" by Elizabeth Stewart and just went to her vulvovaginal clinic near Boston. I was FINALLY diagnosed with desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV) by Dr. Rasmussen there.
Avatar n tn For many years I have pains that pop up for no reason in joints and muscles and last for usually three to six months and then vanish. I get rashes and tiny red spots on my shins and then clear up. The rashes last about the same three to six months. I had these pains in both my shoulders at once, which almost never happens, so I thought it was my rotator cuffs going due to the work that I do.
Avatar f tn Avelox... I went yesterday and saw a lung specialist, he calmed me down and told me that i only have a little pneumonia in my lower left side it's nothing to be worried about. It's the bronchitis that's causing a lot of pain in my chest and back that I did not have prior to the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Is there any safe way to treat the UTI when I may or may not still have C. Diff. For now, the only relief I get is drinking lots of water and cranberry juice--which results in many trips to the bathroom. If I don't drink water, it becomes quite miserable. The doctor says he cannot test for the presence of C. Diff. until I have been off Vancomycin for 2 weeks. Even still I really do not want to take another antibiotic now.
Avatar n tn My husband has MS and also has C Diff with no prior antibiotic use. We are experiencing our 4th bout with C Diff and it very debilitating. He got over the first bout and was C Diff free for 8 months and then it came back. It has greatly affected his mobility and strength.

Avatar f tn It must be something else beside C diff. C diff is normal bacteria within the colon, it should not cause problems in a healthy person. It is possible clyndamicin triggered C diff overgrowth, and you get correct treatment. Are you sure you finished all cures completely (taken antib. all days as prescribed)? 1. It may be small intestinal bacterial overgowth OR intestinal candida overgrowth (do you have oral thrush maybe?) Both this may be detected by a BREATH TEST. 2.
Avatar n tn s, colitis, IBS, and c-diff, a positive c-diff test came back with only mild inflammation of the rectum(proctitus). She ended up being put in the hospital for 6 days due to the dehydration and uncontrollable pain and cramping. They put her on Vanco for 40 days along with an anti-inflammatory med for the proctitus. She has 2 more weeks of vanco and we are seeing daily improvement. Three days ago we went back to the specialists for a follow-up visit.
