I was given this drug 2 days ago for c diff that I've been battling for 5 months. I feel like I've been hit by a semi. Is there anyone else like this? I was the first one to receive this at my hospital. Just praying it works and this will be worth it. Docs have tried everything else. ## It can cause some pretty harsh side effects, such as vomiting, joint/muscle aches, fever, dizziness, and high blood pressure. What else have they had try to treat it?
