I feel like I am going to bleed to death.

Have colonoscopy scheduled for Friday...

How will I ever survive the colonoscopy prep?

First time I did it I was not flaring and I'm expecting it to be even worse this time.

This vancomycin had no noticible effect on my flare; I am very disappointed.

Vancomycin probably wont do much for a flare. Do you have c diff?

Who knows which came first? The C diff or the flare?

Err thats frustrating. I dont think its necessary to drink those preps if you are going to the bathroom a lot. I havent done a gross prep in years. I just do all liquids for three days and im good.
