I have Lupus and had a flare up due to Cat Scratch Fever. The lymph nodes in my neck were swollen and sore. This medicine made my face swell, ears buzz, hands shake and eyes hurt. I could not sleep more than 2 hours a night and I lost weight burning extra calories. I was on the 13 day pack of misery.
