I always get chills the 1st night of Merrem, but I also get a temp over 103. It's always just the 1st night.
The doctors have reasoned that it's from "toxins" being released from the lungs, but the temp & chills only happen with Merren & not with other IV antibiotics. I can't say if Merrem make my joints sore or not. I have CFRA so my joints are always sore, esp before I need IV's. Out of all the IV antibiotics Merrem causes the most side effects for me.

Hope things get better soon!
