Been on Azithromycin. After a few months on it, all that pain that you feel sort of where your flesh is on your bones, that went away, temporarily. But it took a LONG time for that on the drug. Then, the side effect of uncontrollable diarrhea was so bad, I ended up being nearly confined to the bathroom and dehydrating from it. And after four months on the drug, I was only five percent better. And I had to go off it. Within a month off it, the pain was back on my bones. IMO, not worth the four months of being in the bathroom.
