pain agony go away...come again another day

drove the 45 minute drive by my weak self to see my doctor today. He changed my meds back to zithromax 250 1x a day. he wants to wait a week for me to do 500mg a day and go from there. Well i waited to take my clarithromycin until I got to the office in fear of something happening while driving. So I drove to McDonald's and got me some food. Then I felt really bad so I had a #3 in the bathroom. Drove a bit and realized while going barely 20mph that i was going to crash on the freeway home. I called my mom and begged her to pick up Michael at 3:30 and drive out there to get me. When I tried to eat my food I wanted to throw up! Mostly I felt that with my Mr.Pibb which is weird. I slept, agonized, etc. I felt so bad. When I woke an hour later I started to feel better. Slowly I was able to drive home. I did. So now I'm wondering if I had a Herx reaction, which would be a good thing.

anyways, on the breast pain: The doc said I had fibrocystic breasts which is common but I should check them everyday so I can notice a change right away.
