Clindamycin warning

On April 23, 2006 I was teated at the emergency room. I had been vomiting for six hours along with severe diarrehea.  It was a coinidence that I had eaten at a restaurant that evening.  The staff jumped to the diagnosis of food poisning. I was given medication to ease the adominal cramping and nausea and sent home. I was also given prescriptions for Promethazine, Loperamide, Metronidazol, and Levaquin. thinking I did  have food poisinsing I did not question the continued diarrhea. However, after developing a nasty case of thrush in my mouth On the morning of April 26, I contacted my primary doctor he immediately had me stop all medications as the diarreha from food poisioning would not have persised for this long. Thinking I had a instestinal flu, I was attempting to replenish fluids with gatorade, meanwhile the diarreha continued and I developed a high fever. On April 30, I was unable to stand and passed out attempting to get back in my bed. My husband took me to a different Hospital, where within a few hours of testing a stool sample I was diagnosed as having Clostridium Difficile. I was admitted and spent nine day in confiment. When I entered the hospital my white blood cell count was 74,000. My PT was 127.9 and INR was 11. The medication I'd take as prescribed by the ER Dr.  had interferred with the warfin I take for the prevention of blood clots caused by an abnormal Lupis Anti-coagulant factor, which I had informed his staff of. I was critical for the first 24 hours. Now after 63 days of diarreha and losing 19 pounds, I am a little stronger. But I am left with pseudomembranous colitis for life.
