Sunburn?

Hey!

I was out in the sun today for only about two hours and it wasn't even that sunny, well I went for a shower later in the evening and noticed I had a really bad sun burn! And I never burn! I was wondering if it had any relation to crohns itself, or humira or azathroprine? Im always thinking every little thing I experience is because of crohns- but I really have no clue! Aha

Also I've had a brutal cold for the last two weeks and it is not letting up at all! :( its very annoying and difficult to breathe through my nose and hear. I'm so stuffed up, I have a feeling this is because of humira, has anyone else have expirence with bad colds? And even though it's just a cold should I schedule an appointment with a doctor? I hate going to them for everything but I also don't want to risk anything.

Thank you all so much! Hope you all had a happy mothers day! :)

Hm, yeah that makes me curious!

Azathioprine has been found to cause ultra UV ray sensitivity by UK researchers. They also found a higher incidence of skin cancers in those taking Azathioprine. This study was done on patients taking much higher doses but it does serve as a cautionary warning for those of us that use or have used Azathioprine.

Also other medications can cause sun sensitivity. My GP changed my blood pressure medicine some years back [pre-Internet]. He failed to mention that my new med would make one extra sensitive to the sun. Was out doors without sun screen and got a burn on my chest and neck that I still have 20 years later......
