About my time with C-Diff

Don’t mind this, I am writing a blog post about how my ADLS deficits have impacted my health and wanted a place to describe in more graphic terms what C-Diff was like. Don’t click below cut if medical ick is not something you want to read.

Well, here we go.

I progressively had more and more diarrhea happening, and by the end the only times I wasn ‘t in OMG ridiculous pain is if I was actively defecating. My poop was completely liquefied and discolored, even a bit puss-filled. I was curled up on the toilet, gibbering, and crying. I was only able to defecate small amounts at a time because I had already cleaned my system out by then- the diarrhea had already removed anything left to defecate but moisture.
