Extremely important about antibiotics

I just took myself off antibiotics about a week ago. I wasn't feeling good and I'm tired of being on them. Ive developed a cough in the past few days and figured it was allergies or maybe asthma developing. Totally by accident I come across an article stating how minocycline can cause lupus and this thing called DRESS which is basically autoimmune pneumonia. Wirh a bad prtognosis. Holy crap I had no idea of the possibility of the awful things you can get , I'm really worried. I'm going to go to the ER if I'm any worse tomorrow. I've had allergies and never had chest wheezing and coughing. I hope I'm just being paranoid. I tend to get the weird side effects and conditions nobodys heard of.

You're probably going to die. You were pretty famous around these parts; you'll be remembered. :smileys_n_people_114:

Hey guys, Im still here.
I tend to be paranoid did I mention that? I guess if I'm not dead yet I probably don't have it. But DRESS sounds kind of ominous in an elegant way doesn't it?

Sorry for not taking your post more seriously. I just noticed the title says "extremely important" so you were obviously very concerned. I hope your cough and wheezing isn't a result of the antibiotics. How are you today?

I'm OK. I think its a summer cold. But I came across that "Hannah was Here" story and kind of freaked out...bad timing.
Ive stopped antibiotics cause they made me feel crappy anyway.
I get your humor, they don't call me snarky girl for nothing:P
