Hello! I am so srry that you have had this experience. Unfortunately, the fact that your DR didn't believe you is quite common. While I would not wish the reaction and the last two years of my life on anyone, I DO wish some of these DRs could experience what so many of us have gone through before dismissing us as not knowing what we are talking about. I hope that the fact that you only took it for 2 days means it won't do any more harm, but as so many DRs have told me, it's difficult to say. I took it for 6 days in Feb 06 and still have daily pain, joint pain, muscle pain, diffculty sleeping due to pain and no one can tell me if it will get better. If your DR won't listen, at least make certain that your medical records state in large red writing that you DO NOT WANT TO EVER take this class of antibiotics again. Also, please file a report on the FDA website. Good luck!
I agree with both you and the reply. It has been hell since December '06 for me. I think maybe it should be mandatory for all doctors to take a medication before prescribing it. Sure would simplify things.
