What Causes Red Rashes On The Arms And Legs While On Macrobid?
This May sound like a stupid question but I started taking Microbic on Sat and have since had flu like symptoms and developed a red rah on my arms and legs. I have had N+V, diarrhea, fatigue, headache and considerable joint pain. I m thinking that it is a reaction to the med, I had the flu in December as well. Norrest issues this time along. Should I consider investigating Lyme Disease or simply wait to see how things go? Thank you
