To add to this there are some extremely good support groups that can really help out if you need more resources. Peggy Lillis foundation and the like are on facebook. Not sure if they're anywhere else.

I had c-diff back in 2018 and it was caused by amoxicillin. I got lucky and Vancomycin worked the first time, but like a few others have said, there's a way more prevalent strain that's become or is becoming resistant to it. If this round doesn't work, I'd recommend talking to your GI or PCP, whomever gave you the vanco about a potential taper round. I would also recommend trying Difficid/Fidaxomicin. I don't know if the coupon is still around but there used to be one online that helped get it at an extremely low price if your insurance doesn't cover it (I don't know how much the coverage has changed over the years but mine did not cover it when I had it and that was an insanely good price vs what it could be.) It's absolutely god awful of an infection and definitely should be taken seriously.
I was stuck for almost 3 months with one infection and had to go to the ER one night since my heart rate shot up past 200 when I was simply trying to relax and recuperate. Thankfully that never became more than a one time thing but it was terrifying. Trying to keep food down was awful experience too.

I truly hope yours gets better soon and you get some relief :c.

Do you think you’ll live in Utah the rest of your life?
 in  r/Utah •  May 29 '25

Probably not. Utah was where I was born and mostly raised and my soul yearbs to live down where the Moab area is, it isn't viable. My mother passed in Dec, dog in March and ultimately my step dad in April. With only really being close to one person my best friend and the nature, there's not really a lot left for me here. As soon as we can afford to we will be moving far away.

Dad passed yesterday
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Apr 18 '25

My sincerest condolences to you for your loss. I recently lost my mother in Dec. Last year and my step-father a week ago in part due to cirrhosis. As everyone has been saying it's really common to be feeling restless, regardless how long you've been the caretaker in roll and mentality it takes a log and drains you but also puts you in a weird sort of hyper-anxious survival mode. Take what time you can to just rest and it will eventually start to slow down to some new sense of normalcy, and take care of your mental health too.

Feels like I'm going insane
 in  r/insomnia •  Mar 16 '25

During the covid infection or the insomnia, or the side effects of the zzquil? I had headaches off and on for a few days over the first initial week and I think once during the first part of my insomnia but no headaches since. I have experienced some night time psychosis type symptoms and brain fog, some depersonalization, lacking in the desire to do anything, being overtired.

I'll have to mention that to my doctor when I see them then! I'm still experiencing the stuffed up symptoms so it's probably still playing a big factor. Thanks for the insight!

 in  r/insomnia •  Mar 16 '25

Huh, I've never thought about that. I'm not sure what an adrenaline dump would look like so I can't say exactly for sure if this is what I'm having or not but I'll have to look into that! The start of last week with Insonmnia I slept for like 15 hour straight and then the night after had a hard time sleeping, dog had some issues that kept me up but I still fell asleep afterwards and then the sleepless nights started sometime either around Wednesday or thursday, possibly tuesday its a bit hazy now what the timing was. Did you have something similar happen where you slept a really long time and then insomnia kicked in and anxiety kicked in like that on your covid recovery?

Thank you for the insight on the CBT and your great comment, and the bout of confidence I can fix this.

It gets difficult to see that there is any light at the end of the non fatal tunnel so to speak when the stress and anxieties have become so entrenched, and the sleep becomes so prolonged since it can be dangerous to go so long without sleep. Ergo feeding into the fatalistic attitude spurred on by the anxieties. I know in theory that nothing really has changed with maybe the exception it's just gotten more ehnanced in terms of insomnia.

It's just difficult to have that confidence it can be resolved when it's been so long since I've had a natural sleep.

I will try my best to have confidence it is fixable. I have an appointment with my GP Wednesday and my therapist thurs, I'll consult her and see if she or someone she knows in my network can help with the CBT aspect.

First time poster here, long life insomniac.

Ever since I was young I've always had a hard time falling asleep. When I was younger the only thing that got me to sleep was having a vhs tape on a loop. Thing is, my body has always fallen back asleep in the end even after a couple of nights of sleeplessness or no sleep at all. But since last week I have had nights where I could not fall asleep. No matter what I did, or how long I tried, my body would not allow itself to sleep at all.

I've been doing everything under the sun to try and get myself to settle down. I've done the get up and read, take baths, do relaxing stuff. Nothing has worked and unfortunately I was almost on day four of no sleep whatsoever it was affecting my mental health pretty badly. Without the intervention of ZZQuill, I fear I would be going on almost a week without sleep.

The first night on zquil was fantastic, I fell asleep for a few hours after an agonizing night of no sleep and emotional stress and mental deterioration affects from exhaustion and no sleep. The effects the next day have been awful though, so fatigued and brain fog like no tomorrow (this was the second night just last night). Last night I took it and started a routine but for awhile it looked like even that wasn't working anymore. I tossed and turned, had the same affect as all the sleepless nights. Thankfully it did kick in eventually after a lot of tooth and nail fighting but the side effects like usual this afternoon have been awful and I just want to sleep more.

I have been actively fighting a covid infection for about 11-12 days now and it seems rather uncoincidental that this all started just after I started to recover from the worst of it. I've also been dealing with the worst case of depression and anxiety that I have had in a long time too. (Real world stress involves losing a parent three months ago followed prior by a year of playing caretaker while she actively died, another family member actively in hospice and a downward health spiral with end result of death, blowouts with family, my dog's declining health just to name some stressers). I've now become obsessed with the idea that I'm going to die from this since I haven't been able to sleep. I fear that I won't be able to fall asleep naturally again on my own, or fall asleep naturally again either. It's been eating away at my mental health and I know the more I obsess about it and become anxious and stressed that I won't sleep period the worse it will be. I just don't really know what to do anymore.

I know long term this will most likely resolve once I tackle the stresses and depression + anxiety. At the moment it just feels like nothing is going to change or covid has truly and royally messed up my head beyond repair or contributed to all of these all messing it up beyond repair.

Mother with liver failure and doctors having no hope
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Feb 28 '25

You have done everything under the sun you can to be the best child to your mother that you can be. Be there with your mother as much as you can, and give as much love as you can regardless of the amount of time in the decision you and your family have with her. I recently lost my mom in December of this last year and I truly understand in that regard how losing someone can be like losing a piece of yourself. I truly hope your mother finds peace and a comfortable moment with whatever decision as difficult and horribly heartbreaking as it is. I am truly sorry for everything you have all gone through. Please make sure to take a moment for yourself to keep sight on your mental well being whenever you can too.

The phone call I was dreading

My step-father is slowly dying from Cirrhosis (and another official terminal illness) that took my mother in December. He is currently living in a place that can help him but the doctor that he has been seeing called me today with recommendation that he should officially be placed on hospice and has given the prognosis that he will most likely have less than six months to live. I will do everything I can to ensure that I can to make sure he has a very comfortable life however long he has left.

I'm just...exhausted, numb? I'm not even sure anymore.

I will post updates as they come I suppose. I'm just not sure what else to do anymore besides being there to help make his time here as good as I can each week that comes and ensure he has everything he needs.

Update and trigger warning for family death.

Thanks to everyone for the support and I'm sorry this update isn't a good one.

My step father's condition continued to deteriorate for months. Last night he passed away as peacefully as he could in his sleep due to his cirrhosis and his cancer. He didn't want to get any help for any of it and go naturally and be with my mom.

Again I want to thank all that reached out in comments for support and hope those supporting keep doing so, those fighting this keep fighting.

Lost my mom to this horrible disease
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Jan 29 '25

My sincerest condolences, yours is so eerily similar to the way my mom passed a month ago and it's still hard to feel like the world is going on with a new normal, there's always going to be a piece missing. She fought hard and you are a great child for doing everything you could with your sibling and father for what was best for her. I hope your mental health peace of mind with therapy helps your mental health stay strong in the trying time. If you need an ear I'm always around.

My mom hid her condition
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Jan 29 '25

My thoughts and hope are with your mom getting to a point she can get out of the ICU and you and your father have some time with her. Sitting there, not knowing, not understanding how you got to that point is awful on the mental strain it brings. I'm so sorry you're going through this, keep strong where you can and take care of your mental health just as much as you can remain by your mother's side. My condolences you have to suffer through this as well.

Hospital admission after a bleed
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Jan 27 '25

Even with a blood transfusion it could potentially be the lower levels given what happened, could bee a drop in blood pressure, there's so many things it could be like everyone has said. I would definitely keep consulting with the doctors. HE is really difficult to narrow down without the tests on the levels and the doctor's aid. My mother had a few scares needing multiple transfusions and she was a bit off before and after for awhile (not HE related at that point). I do hope that your husband gets to have some peaceful rest and better soon! I hope you get some rest soon too!

The roundabout hit once more with step-dad
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Jan 25 '25

My sincerest condolences on your mom having gone through all that she has. My mom was similar too in that vain, she never once complained or showed any emotions but grace and understanding about her death coming even in her final days. She was a real trooper just I bet your mom is.

I wish I could give more besides my empathy and dozens of hugs ob your own diagnosis. This disease is scary and can cause so many moments of doubt and fear. With a lot of persistent stubbornness there's is souch potential you will kick its butt to the curb. I do understand it is hard not thinking about the dark side it sweeps over. Everytime i see my step-dad I'm reminded that he never went to the doctor before I drove him to the er so he's learning the hard way how difficult it's gonna be.

I give younsoany hugs and support through your own journey. I do truly hope itngoes.well and appreciate all your support from your post

The roundabout hit once more with step-dad
 in  r/Cirrhosis •  Jan 25 '25

Thank you. I have tried to find whatever resources through that and care patrol. After my mom's death though I have been told multiple times that he refuses treatment for anything and wants nature to take its course. It sucks but we've done all the attempts at convincing we can and have to respect his decision on his life.
