| 1 | Tonsillitis | Nausea and vomiting Stomach cramps so bad I woke up in agony after the third dose Stabbing pains in stomach and guts Diarrhoea Excessive hunger | F | 20 | 10 days 259 | 8/26/2017 | 1 | Mouth infection | Sickness, stomach cramps, abdominal pains, nausea, | I'm going to stop taking as pains are getting worse and can't function properly | M | 42 | 2 days 500mg 4X day | 8/16/2017 | 1 | Lyme disease | Had a tick bite & was treated for cellulitis until my second lymes test came back positive. Was put on doxycycline after 3rd day i broke out in hives even in my eyes. Im allergic to penicillen so then they switched me to ceftin same thing after 1 pill hives and tight throat with a cough. So now that my last resort is erythromycin it's the worst feeling in the world. On day 2 the cramps & diarrhea was bad enough but by the 3rd day I find myself in the ER with the worst pain in the center of breast bone, pain up the side of neck and radiating down my arm thinking o Lord I'm having a heart attack. They hook me to monitor, draw blood & the Dr comes in to say your heart is fine this is what the antibiotic side effect can do but your out of options for an antibiotic to cure lymes. So I guess I have to suck it up & deal with this another 7 days!!! Worst antibiotic I've ever taken. U think that an antibiotic should start making u feel better by the second day but has made me feel the worst ever. Praying that this demonic drug cures the lymes since I have no other choice. | F | 49 | 10 days 500mg twic | 7/16/2017 | 1 | Tonsillitis | Vomiting , palpitations , anxiety , extreme stomach cramps, dizzyness .

AND by stopping All supplements of vitamins coQ10 etc. this med reacts with a Everything! AND do not eat foods high in Vitamin C ... That means No orange juice, No Grapefruit juice, No tomatoes juice, No V-8, more importantly No Spaghetti!!! No pizza! No tomatoes of Any kind! | What foods made it easier on my stomach... The best was a Cure 81 thick sliced ham and Kraft Swiss cheese on wheat bread. I tried with and without pickles... Slightly easier without (pain level down to 1). Bush baked beans helped a Lot. Baked potato with cheddar, butter and beef took pain level down to 3. Fried cod and coleslaw took pain level to a 3. Spaghetti shot pain level up to 8+. You also want to take Magnesium. I get mine at WalMart and take 2 of the 250 mg tablets at bedtime ( if you are low in Magnesium it can Cause heart arythmia!) same with potassium! And this med uses up your stores of it! Morton LITE salt has a lot of potassium in it. When I have muscle cramps I can lick it off my hand. Prescription potassium is best if you take diuretics.
