I was put on this medication as a antidepressant booster a year ago and i’ve always taken one a day along with the rest of my medications that i take once a day.

Today, i read the instructions randomly and found out I was supposed to be taking 2 a day 8 hours apart….oops.

I’ve been dealing with depression symptoms for quite some time and it felt like my meds haven’t been really working that well. Could this be why?????

Hey guys,

So i was first diagnosed with c-diff back in late 2023

I relapsed several times over the course of a year and a half, and it wasn’t until i got my FMT via enema (rebyota) done back in november 2024 that i finally was back to normal

now, ever since april of this year, ive been having an unbearable itchy rash on and off and it’s been super awful so i went to my gynecologist where they did a genital swab and a week later, they told me that i was diagnosed with a pseudomonas infection which i’ve learned is really antibiotic resistant and requires strong antibiotics

i was prescribed ciprofloxacin and i have to take it twice a day for a week. i tried asking if i could get vancomycin as a prophylactic to take with it and they refused telling me that the only way i would be able to get vancomycin is if i went to the ER which i genuinely do not want to do because i just cannot afford that right now

I’m at a loss on what i should do at this point because when i had c-diff, i couldn’t keep a job and kept getting fired because i was having relapse after relapse and almost got to a point where i had to go on disability. i’ve been at my current job for over a year and am making a living wage which allows me to live on my own and to have and take care of pets that i’ve always wanted. i cannot imagine going back to that hell of an infection and i feel like the life that i built so much to get away from my c-diff trauma is just coming back to bite me. i feel so broken about this whole thing

i feel like i have to choose a severely itchy vaginal infection that could get worse and put me in the hospital without strong antibiotics or severe diarrhea and vomiting to the point of constant hospitalization. i cannot win. i feel like crying

i just don’t know what to do

Hey guys,

So I had reoccurring c-diff back in 2024 and it wasn’t until I had Rebyota via enema back in November of 2024 when I was finally back to normal and better than ever.

Today, I got a message from my doctor after having a rash on my right labia for quite some time and them swabbing it and it turns out I tested positive for a pseudomonas infection which is apparently very antibiotic resistant and requires strong antibiotics which could bring my c-diff back.

I’m debating making an appointment with my primary care doctor and asking for a prophylactic vanco prescription to take along with the antibiotics so I never have to go through this again.

Thoughts?? I’m genuinely worried because I’m afraid of losing my job over getting another c-diff infection because this happened before.

So I (25F) befriended this girl (26F) on instagram who lived in the same area as me and we started facetiming.

During this facetime call, she started trauma dumping about her husband (24M) and his sexual past along with his drug addiction issues.

At one point, I got to talk to the guy and it turns out that we went to high school together. I mentioned that a mutual friend of ours (25F) is expecting with her husband and my new friend jokingly was like “did you guys fuck or something” and the thing is….they kinda did.

I have a terrible poker face and I cannot lie for the life of me, so I casually mentioned it. I honestly thought this would be fine because she knew her husband used to be a “fuck boy” back in the day and this happened over 10 years ago.

The next day, she texted me, letting me know that me mentioning what I mentioned to her did a number on her mental health and she couldn’t be friends with someone that knew her husband, because she didn’t like hearing about his past and basically cut me off.

I honestly felt like a dick for bringing it up after that, but a lot of people are telling me that based on her trauma dumping about her husband like that and where the topic was heading, me mentioning that he used to be sexual with a friend of mine from high school shouldn’t have made her so insecure.

I still feel like a dick for doing it and I’ve apologized to her about it, but many of my other friends are on my side about this and are telling me she overreacted and it was her problem.

I wanted to see what you guys thought about this. AITAH for bringing this up and causing a huge fallout in a newly developed friendship like that?
