My doctor moved me from one antibiotic to Zithromax (azithromycin) and the first three weeks were rough in a way nobody prepared me for.
Withdrawal symptoms are not the same as side effects, and conflating them wasted a year of my life.
Reference ranges shift between labs, so comparing results across two different labs is close to meaningless.
Mostly wanting to compare notes rather than be told what to do.
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Thrush was my main issue with azithromycin too.
It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables. Thrush was my main issue with azithromycin too.
Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.
