Default Hell of a way to spend the weekend

So, 9 days ago I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. He starts me on a couple of meds and I start getting back to normal. I finished up the last antibiotic (Factive) on Thursday and all seems well. Starting Saturday afternoon, I started breaking out in a rash that literally covers my entire body from the waist up. Went to urgent care this morning for a shot of prednisone and some more meds to help clear this up.

Why in the hell couldn't this have happened Friday when I could get in and see an actual dermatologist? I had the same kind of thing 5-6 years ago and went down the path of the prednisone and anti-itch meds. Didn't work and was given a different prescription to be used in conjunction with tanning as the UV light helped kill the rash quite well. Now I'm stuck with this for at least 2 more days.

I did a search for rash for this antibiotic and it seems quite common. The other side effects have been less than desirable as well. No more antibiotics from this family from now on.
