I have had adult-onset Asthmai ever since I got whooping cough two years ago. After a round of steroids (which caused me to gain 40 pounds in 2 months and get stretchmarks on my stomach) it went away for about 6 months, then came back.
I am looking for a doctor in the Boston area, although I would be willing to commute anywhere in New England if possible. I am worried about Zithromax because I once (at age 14 or so, I'm now 28) had what I believed was a severe allergic reaction to Erithromycin.

Don't worry so much about
Don't worry so much about the azithromycin. I, too, thought I'd be allergic, due to a severe reaction to erythromycin when I was sixteen and had strep throat. Before I started this protocol, I went in for a day-long allergy test specifically for this family of drugs. I had no reaction (thank goodness).
The allergist said I probably had a severe reaction way back then ONLY because the abxi was doing its job and it might even be because the erythromycin was killing the cpni bacteria! Oddly, the allergist was very receptive to the idea of cpn causing MSi.
Go get tested.
