    I have been receiving cubicin now for 3 weeks. I am scheduled for 3 more. I am experiencing insomnia and extreme fatigue. I am tired and weak. Also I am unable to regulate body temperature. Hot then chills, combined with cold sweats.

    I've had a yeast infection, then the nausea and diarrhea started. I've been very fatigued lately. My muscles are sore all over. I've been on it this time for 3 wks and have 3 more to go. Was on this stuff last yr for 5 wks and don't remember feeling this crappy.
