Leeayn, I'm sorry you're having such a miserable time with C diff. In the old days it wasn't so bad, but the strain that we have now is so virulent that it makes people much more sick, as you have learned, and does sometimes kill people, esp if the patient is older or weak or chronicly ill to start with.
If the drugs don't work, and sadly there are only a few even worth trying, sometimes an additional course of the same drug does the trick, but if not, discus fecal transplant with your ID doc. It isn't perfect, but when you consider that it's only used on the toughest cases and still has a high success rate, it really is worth a try. You just have to get past what the medical profession so delicately calls "the yuck factor". But anyone really struggling with C diff can leap right past the yuck factor, probably faster than the doctor can.
