Re the Crohn’s

Hi Jonnymac, I hope it all settles down before the brachytherapy is due and that you will soon begin to feel better. Do you know what causes or triggers the flare ups!?

Hello Jonnymac22  You are a star - I agree with Worriedwife I do hope it settles down - I had you booked in for a Brachytherapy party at the end of January!!

I hope you get through the pre-assessments and your treatment goes ahead.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi and thanks all , was discharged last night and then this morn was contacted from doctor at hospital to say one of my tests from lab came back positive and called it c diff, infection and isolate etc and a taxi on its way to bring medication to me, and hope nothing gets in way of the brachnytherapy procedures soon , the admission to Hossy was severe abdomen cramps and in legs , but they didn’t have a clue what caused it , but hopefully with what doctor said earlier, that probably caused the cramps , so back on track now after Hossy food 

Hi and I’ll be in on day of my birthday on 22 Jan for second stint ( at least I’ll know what’s coming after the one on the5th ) 

Still shows the email thing on end grrr

Hi Jonnymac22 

It looks like it's on your signature bar. (where my Strength - Courage etc is). Go to your home page and click on the icon of your photo (for god's sake turn it the right way round  it's doing my shed in!!) and then settings and the 9th one down - remove the message.

It's going to cost you more than a drink next year at this rate once you have had your seeds put in - I don't care if you glow in the dark but mine's a pint of best bitter!!

Cheers- Brian .

Hi Johnnymac.

Hope you are feeling better. Clostridium difficile can be a nasty bug usually characterised by watery squits, stomach cramps, but can also lead to sepsis so take care. Have you recently had any antibiotics or been in a hospital/ care environment prior to your admission as they are the more usual causes. It is a spore forming bug and I did a bit of research on it many years ago in relation to food poisoning.

Hi Jonny - some medications for gastric reflux and/or a recent course of some antibiotics are associated with a higher risk of c diff. It is highly contagious. Hope you feel better soon.

Good morning, and yes I recently had a two week course of antibiotics which is regularly every couple of months for chest infections I get re bronchitistsy think that’s how it reads , so just a wait to see if it goes away with treatment, cheers 

Morning Jonnymac.

Boy are you lot stretching my memory. I seem to remember that C diff. can be triggered by repeated use of an antibiotic so make sure that you tell the doctor of your latest little holiday in hospital and maybe switch your meds.

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
