[Summit] Neighborly WARNING re: antbiotic Zithromax

[Breslers]

If your doctor prescribes zithromax, azithromycin, ZPac for you- please
double check it is necessary & safe
It can disrupt your heart rhthyms, which is uncomfortable, can be very
disabling and occasionally fatal.

The warning came out last spring but was not well publicized
(what pharmaceutical company wants to damage the reputation of one of their
most popular drugs?)

And I ended up taking a drug I never should have.
Which also has a long half life- meaning 3 weeks after stopping it is still
in my system.
I can not exert myself in any way, and if I do, it takes hours to recover,
like I ran a marathon.

I am just posting this to possibly save someone else.
