I have to reply because i wanted to say, hey spaz, just had to say that, now for your concerns, I too was frieked when I was told to start immuran and pred. I've never been on meds like that evan tho I've had cd for 40 years, 30 years was remission from several surgeries, I call them surgically indusded remission, now stating in oct of 09 I had a heat exhaustion episode and that caused huge flare that forced out of the work force (i'm 60) applied for ssdi, denied first time (normal) Immuran did only but gave me really bad kidney issues within 1 month of taking it and my gi said stop immediately, now I'm onto remicade with better results, took ny acid reflux almost away, 1 or 2 pills a week compared to 2 aday. I get flu like symptoms as well about
2 days after infusion, but I've noticed it wears off within 3 weeks so I took myself off pred because I wanted to tell if rem works so my gi switched me to vicodin instead of pred. so I use that as needed. I hated immuran it caused thin skin and bruising really easy and if I cut myself the sores never healed, the kidney thing was the worst, i still suffer from it. I was equally firked about
rem as well but I had to go that route. I also have cd inthroat and mouth so rem has helped that as well. rem usually takes effect right away, I'm on my 3rd loading dose. good luck to you. only kidding about
your handle, it's cute
