Google or www.drugs.com is a good place to start looking for side effects of medications.

http://www.drugs.com/sfx/zithromax-side-effects.html

Zithromax side effects show both elevated blood glucose and decreased blood glucose.

Laboratory Abnormalities
Adults
Clinically significant abnormalities (irrespective of drug relationship) occurring during the clinical trials were reported as follows: with an incidence of greater than 1%: decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, lymphocytes, neutrophils and blood glucose; elevated serum creatine phosphokinase, potassium, ALT, GGT, AST, BUN, creatinine, blood glucose,;

Mepron
This is where others might be able to help you because even though blood sugar is not listed, it might still be a problem for lyme patients.

The package insert does not mention blood glucose problems

Hope this helps

Yes! Just as the Lyme Bb will take hold of body systems and lower body temp so the spirochetes will be more comfortable,

major cravings for sugar, sweets, bread, pasta, lots of simple sugars is "just the yeast talkin."

Don't listen to a yeast overgrowth! Starve Candida out and hit it with anti-fungal herbals such as Pau d'Arco, Oregano oil, garlic, etc.

Throw out anything in your home that is not allowed on a Candida-control diet. And don't allow any more to come in.

Good luck!

I have certainly fed the yeast monster and am paying for it dearly. Darn Christmas goodies.

If I cannot see or smell the Christmas cookies, it's much easier. Don't let them cross your threshold! lol
