zero days. I am one of those people with a mild case but a case tha won't go away no matter what I take. Plus, my body couldn't handle Imuran. For one year I felt like I had taken a sleeping pill everytime I too Imuran and then my bloodwork showed I wasn't metabolizing it.

I'm glad to hear it's helping you!

Been on 6mp (essentially the same drug) for about 7 years now and doing fine.

about 10 months. No side effects, either (at least for me).

I'm like snappy, it did nothing for me. My doctor told me to keep taking it when I started LDN and I still decided to stop. I have felt much better on LDN and probiotics than I have on the other meds.

I am on Lialda for inflammation and have been on Imuran for about 5 months now and have been doing pretty good.
