“Is this a drug side effect?”
I am prescribed purposefully 500mg x 4 times daily. I am in excruciating pain in limbs, head, neck shoulders. This is clearly a toxic reaction to this medication. How can I get this out of my system?

Good evening,
Unfortunately this seems to be a question out of the scope of a Rheumatology practice since there are several potential explanations for your symptoms. I would advise you to contact your treating physician to discuss your concerns and decide on further measures that may be appropriate.
Have a great day.

It can be the side effect, but the infection and blisters are also contributing to the symptoms. You can stop the drug and watch.
