C-Deficille Clostridium Can Be Caused by Too Many Antibiotics

In 1999, I had a cold or sinus infection and was on antibiotics. The infection was still in full swing after 10 days, so the Doctor Doubled my prescription to 1000 milligrams of amoxicillin. This cleared up the cold or sinus infection and also caused more problems: I ended up with the diarrhea for 3 weeks, severe cramps, diarrhea, and even to the point I thought I had to go and all it was a few flakes. Each week it got worse. When the third week rolled around, I was at work, and I couldn't even stand up straight anymore and the following day I was home on a Saturday and got the shakes and chills so bad that I ended up in the emergency room. They wanted a urine sample. I said what about a stool sample. They said, "No." Well, I insisted. They ran some emergency tests, did blood work up, and then I was admitted to the hospital for five days.

My doctor came to see me the next day. He had me scheduled for a Colonoscopy. So we had to go through the routine of getting me cleaned out. I was so irate by the time we were almost done. This time they gave me something to drink and then Cod liver oil. That was gross. Every time I went to the bathroom I could smell that sweet sickening smell of Cod liver Oil. Never again. I even told them to forget about the test. That I was not going to have it done. I felt sorry for the nurses but, I was in more pain, and you know how your butt burns when you keep on going and going, well it felt like it was on fire, so they gave me some save that cooled the area but, you have to touch the area in order to apply it. Then they made sure that disinfected my hands really good.. Well, guess what I also couldn't smoke in the hospital, so that made me even more crabby. I felt sorry for the nurses, and did apologize the next day when I was feeling better.
