MemberI was treated with Zithromax, generically known as azithromycin, several long-term courses to cure Lyme Disease as other antibiotics did not work. It was just after the final 3-month treatment I was diagnosed with Generalized MG. Current literature shows some people with West Nile Virus treated with Zithromax also developed MG. Interesting that FDA and the maker of this antibiotic have never mentioned this as a possible side effect or did further investigation into any correlation. Have any others had a similar experience? Thanks!
