Comparing Azithromycin vs Prednisone

For Chlamydia Infection So let me make everyone feel better. I'm 9 weeks pregnant, almost 10 weeks and you can imagine my feeling from getting an STI from the father of my child. Well, I read this and was extremely scared. The reason I think everyone is throwing up is because of the food you're eating before you take this. Anything spicy or greasy is going to HURT your digestive system, honest. Eat a full meal but bland. I ate 2 bowls of macaroni and cheese made with water, cheese and butter. I drank one bottle of water, let it digest for 20 minutes. I took the medicine, afterwards ate crackers and had ginge rale. My best advice, just go to sleep after taking this. Take this at home, before bed where you have nothing to do. At about 3:45am (I took at 11:20pm because I had work that night) I got some stomach pains that just felt like intense gas pains, and moved around a bit. I probably went to the bathroom from 4 to 6, but only a total of 2 times and since I ate so bland, it really wasn't that bad.

For Chlamydia Infection So I I had discharge and insane burning pains in my urethra for like 5 days and decided to get a check up and the doc immediately recognized it as chlamydia. Gave me 4 pills and a very painful muscle spasming shot in the left butt cheek. About 5 hours later with the pain subsiding and the discharge almost completely stopping thank goodness, I had extremely watery diarrhea, and strong bloating in my stomach. It eventually went away later that evening and I thought I was A OKAY!! Fast forward into the next day at 9 am, I have a really high fever and more diarrhea. This fever came out of no where! I even researched if that could possibly be a side effect, I found nooooo evidence whatsoever still. I even called the damn clinic and the woman didn't understand and couldn’t help me at all about why I had a fever. Now I’m missing work and wasting a day in bed scared that this is very bad and not the norm. If anyone had any story of having a fever after please share!

For Inflammatory Conditions My mother has been on prednisone for almost four years for polumyalgia/rheumatica. We found out recently that the reason she was in such horrible back pain and could hardly walk was the extended use of prednisone. The MRI showed she had actual cracks in her spine. We are still in shock. This cannot be reversed. Even though people feel fine and really on top of the world the end result is devastating. So now we are dealing with even more pain not even associated with Polymyalgia. She will never recover from this. Everyone is different, but please look at the cons of the medicine before taking. Beware!

For Inflammatory Conditions I had COPD with chest pain, also I had shoulder pain due to lifting heavy objects last year. I had started prednisone 20mg x 2 two days back. I shall take it for 5 days. I felt much better on on second day only. Today is third day and I am feeling much better. My COPD symptoms improved very much. Also reduced swelling in my shoulder magically. I had not taken it for shoulder pain but it improved very much. Now I can raise my hand 90 degree which was impossible two days back. My breathless due to smoking related COPD is getting cured. improved upto 60%. Three more days to go, I shall update you.
