Thx., Roy.

I knew the tests were inaccurate but didn't know they were that bad. My son always tested positive when he relapsed. I had two or three positive tests in four years. After 3l years of knowing about C. diff. and seeing some (but not huge progress), I sometimes wonder, "Does anyone but those with C. diff. (or with family members who have it) care?"

At least, people now recognize what C. diff. is, however. Years ago, even few docs. knew about it. Now, all the aides in my mother's assisted living know about it.

Nice to know someone somewhere is doing something about C. diff. Now if they'd just move a little faster!

Copied in FAQ-Tests.
