Was diagnosed with strep throat right after Christmas, it never got better add bronchitis, 3 more visits to the dr's..not much help from them at all, I lost it the other day, they ordered blood work. Got the results today and turns out I still have strep! And It shows a recent infection with Mono! And They put me on a high dose antibiotic. OF course it comes with a 3 page booklet about side effects and they are horrific. I dont normally read them , but this was a special 3 page addition to the RX. I had a panic attack and now I just took one and I feel nervous and am trying to talk myself down. I need ten days of this. Anyone else nervous about side effects from meds? Thanks
