wow what a whiplash of a week for me. so this past friday, i had a colonoscopy. before that, i was having maybe 1-2 episodes of diarrhea each day but i was on my period and that’s normal for me. anyway, i got the colonoscopy and was told everything was normal. well, the day after, i was cleaning my house and was hit with this intense exhaustion feeling out of nowhere. my muscles felt achey, i felt extremely fatigued, i felt just overall off. i thought maybe i started doing stuff too fast and rested and took a nap. that’s when the first started and landed at 101. i went to the ER and i told them of my c diff past, not sure why a stool test wasn’t done immediately, and they gave me a CT scan and said it was colitis and i needed to stay overnight. i thought well fuck did something go wrong with the colonoscopy?? i get admitted and i’m shitting NONSTOP. i’m like okay im asking for a stool test and what do you know, toxin positive once again. i feel defeated and just so upset. i talked to the gi there and pushed for dificid and ended up with two days of it while i was there, but the cost of it WITH yes WITH insurance was 4,000 and they said they tried everything to lower it. so i was given mfin vancomycin for the third time, except this time for 34 days. the brain fog i feel is unreal which i heard happens with unbalanced gut bacteria, i can barely eat, i just feel soso defeated. please does anyone have any hope for me that his third extended round will work? if it doesn’t i plan i pushing for a fecal transplant, but god do i hope it works this time.
