...c diff colitis..? About 6 weeks ago, I was prescribed the antibiotic called clyndamicin and was not warned that I have a very real chance of getting c diff colitis.
I had an emergancy and had to run across the way to the local "dental center", it was there the dr. would not let me leave the chair and told me that I needed to remove my lower wisdom tooth, beleiving he was the expert, I left my fate in his hands.
He did not prescribe a course of amoxicillen for a few days before hand and I contracted a horrible infect and my jaw was swollen shut, he panicked and prescribed to me clyndamicin and did not warn me of the terrible side effects. I found out through research that that drug is notorius for causing the super bug, c diff colidis. It was too late, I had finished the course of pills and hoped for the best. Weeks later I was in the er, dehydrated, 15 pounds thinner and suffering SEVERE diarreah, I mean not even water stood inside my belly. The hospital was awesome and the dr. on call prescribed two more antibiotics that will kill the bacterium, so far I am not my self yet, but better, I have 3 more days to go. I am really worried because I hear so many horror stories about colitis and c diff. I am worried, but will follow up with my doctor. The jerk dentist has not returned my many phone calls about my concerns. Any further advice? Anyone suffering from this as well?
