Yikes. Sorry to hear that man. That's a pretty rough course right there. Glad you're better now. I took Cipro for something once, and it jacked my stomach up for a couple of months. It wasn't a secondary infection or anything, just a reaction to the antibiotic. But it was brutal for a while.

-649 and rising rapidly now. Up over 300 points in the last few minutes. Probably going to get a strong run to the close from here. It's time.

I'm gonna get a little personal here. September of 2018 just before hurricane Florence hit I had a MRSA infection. It was severe and almost landed me in the hospital. I was treated with a bag of (sp) rocefin IV antibiotic in the ER and then given 7 days of keflex along with 10 days of clindamycin.....the clindamycin was BRUTAL but it cleared the infection.

Fast forward a month and I started having stomach issues. The first day i realized something was wrong it was like clock work every 45 minutes or so I was heading to the bathroom. This continued to worsen rapidly until I was back in the ER after going to the bathroom around 40 to 50 times a day for 3 or 4 days in a row. Tested positive for Cdiff and had reoccurrence through March of 2019. Took me 5 months of 21 day treatments using vancomycin. Quite possibly the worst 5 months of my life.

I then developed somewhat of a phobia of antibiotics. I have not used them since the MRSA infection. I'm just ot willing to go on antibiotics unless I'm dying.

This story scares me to death. I'm with ya. Had similar and it's horrible. Couldn't even leave the house. Gut health is so important. If it gets wonky and sick, that's it. It will shut ya down. They say like 70% of our immunity is in the gut so since we are all worried about flu's and viruses, should be taking extra care of our guts. Probi's etc. Vitamin K. Your leg looks awful in that pic..geez

Yeah I take a probiotic at least 3 days a week. Not to sound hyperbolic but unless you've gone through moderately severe cdiff there is no understanding the physical and for me some of the mental side effects. I'm literally scared to take any antibiotic and fear a reoccurrence of cdiff with phobia like fear.
 
CDC not testing anyone with symptoms ?
CDC sending out bad test. ?
CDC, FDA not allow state labs ?
Yea folks Monday the labs go live
Can you count to potato? Stop mixing numbers in with china. Look at the Sk Italy maybe you might find true north.

Severe ulcerative colitis flare up with a moderate to likely severe case of cdiff from October/novemebr 2018 - February/ March 2019. You aren’t alone and I understand the mental side affects quite well... failed two classes in college , lost 23 pounds in 5 weeks ( regained them all +10 more pounds in 6 weeks after recovery ) . Then doctor tried to prescribe some super heavy medicine that would require monthly hospital visits and put me at risk for cancer .... visited another doctor put me on balsalazide for the ulcers and by then the cdiff had resolved as well. A mild stomach ache scares me now.

Key Missteps at the CDC Have Set Back Its Ability to Detect the Potential Spread of Coronavirus

The CDC designed a flawed test for COVID-19, then took weeks to figure out a fix so state and local labs could use it. New York still doesn’t trust the test’s accuracy.

It's hard to believe this is incompetence or accidental. It feels much more like an intentional spin and delay tactic that's part of a greater plan.

You either believe that, or you have to believe that it is, in fact, incompetence or accidental, and accept that this is the system that is going to help us if/when it all hits the fan. I don't know how either option can make one feel comfortable.
 
Dammmm weekend should get all the traders feelings worked out Monday greenish that's on low news but wait till the labs go live
