"I developed pneumonia after being treated in the hospital for an anaphylactic allergic response. Within a few days, my oxygen was down to 92%. I was almost hospitalized, but begged the doc to let me stay out as it was 5 days until Christmas. I was prescribed a 5-day Z-Pak (Azithromycin). Today is day 3, I'm finally starting to feel better. The only side effects so far have been slightly loose stools and a rapid pulse. (I'm 35 and otherwise healthy.) I find I got stomach pains within an hour of taking it, so today I ate before I took it and that helped."

"Was started on this in the ER at time of diagnosis. After three days and only negligible improvement, I returned to the ER. This time, I was given an IV of Rocephin, and by the end of the day, I could see huge improvements. Not sure why they don't culture and match the right drug."

"Started 5-day dose pack on 1/17/18 at 8:30 pm. I had been running a fever for 6 days by the 17th. I finished my pack the evening of the 21st. I am still spitting out green every 20 minutes or so when awake, but no fever today. I had diarrhea the first evening only. The last evening dose, I noticed a tiny blister-like rash about the size of kosher salt on my chest and back. I still have them today, the 23rd, and am still sick."
