Hi Gretchen, Thank you so much for your reply. I think I honestly just needed to hear from people who have MS or who are more experienced with what it might look like. I googled and found a lot of...
Hey everyone. I'm a relatively healthy 29yo female. I have subclinical hypothyroidism and haven't tolerated meds well, so I don't take anything right now. Here's what I've been experiencing: About a...
Just wanted to pop in and say my husband is going through this right now too. This is his 4th time with c diff in just over a year. Started Christmas 2013 and we're not even sure if it ever fully...
Thank you for the reply Judy! I'm relieved to hear you think my labs look good. It's always good to get some reassurance since I'm still so new to the treatment stuff. I always worry that it's a...
Hey everyone! I'm new here. Just wanted to pop in and get some advice. As a bit of a background, I've had elevated TSH or mild/subclinical hypothyroidism diagnosed for probably close to 8 years. TSH...

Normal is 60-100 bpm. I wouldn't be too worried unless you're tachycardic (>100 BPM)....
Stinky and yellow sounds like it could be c diff....
Sounds like C diff from antibiotics. Quite likely! Just ask your GI for a stool test for all those GI bugs....
The usuals. Dark leafy greens. Beans. Red meat. Apparently parsley has a ton of iron. But surprisingly I've read beet juice can help anemia in a huge way. I'm assuming you can either juice it or just...
Hey all! My fiancé has had a few crazy months. Now he is dealing with his 2nd c diff infection (well, maybe it didn't go away the first time completely). Off pred now for the past 3 weeks. On vanco...
I wouldn't reschedule. It's not worth waiting another few months because of a cold. In my experience they'll sedate you no problem (registered nurse and I worked in L&D for many years). As long as...
FMT is on our minds for sure. We have to figure out if it's available here. UC42 - not that you intended it to, but that scares me. Just the fact he's been on imuran since October and now remicade...
Well, this changes things a bit. We found out today he's c diff positive again! Back on the vanco! I'm partially very relieved. Just knowing that the majority (or all) of his symptoms could be...
Firstly I just wanted to thank you guys for your insight. I'm going to work this morning so my responses may be short. When I come home from work I'll address things more completely. For remi, he's...
Sorry forgot to include that. He did a 2 week stint of flagyl with no success. Then a long taper (I can't remember how long) of vanco. It seemed to clear things up as he had 2 negative tests since...
Hello! I'm new here. I'm gonna try and summarize the past 10 months in a concise way. Just looking for some support, reassurance, wisdom, guidance. My fiancé was diagnosed with severe pancolitis last...
