I was prescribed this drug for C-Diff. This is my 2nd time taking this drug for the C-Diff. It absolutely makes me so miserable, physically and mentally. I feel bad all over. It's hard to describe, you feel like you're going to die or something. I have an extremely bad headache. My shoulders and hands hurt. I ache and feel weak.

The pain lasted a week after finishing the Flagyl.
I guess the med. was a necessary evil to get
rid of the C-diff. But, it is a rough med. to take.

OMG..I didn't even think that the medicine would cause neck and shoulder pain I thought it was arthriis. I also am on my second round of flagyl and bout with c dif. Too many antibiotics from a brown recluse bite and hospital stay they say.

Yes, I also picked up C-Diff from a hospital stay.
I also was on a lot of antibiotics.
Trying to beat the C-Diff was a lot worse than
my surgery. I had three reoccurences of
the C-Diff - had to do the Flagyl 14 day treatment
each time. It was awful.

Also - to help your system build up good bacteria,
to fight off the C-Diff - eat yogurt and take Acidophilus
pills. This will help. I still take an Acidophilus pill
every day.
