Hey everyone! My doctor wants me to start up on 6MP again on a dose of 125mg, that seems quite high to me to be honest. I was once on 6MP at 75 mg. During that time my lymph nodes started to swell. I stopped immediately, then they stopped swelling and subsided. I'm flaring up currently and have been for the last two years. I won't lie, I'm pretty nervous to start it again. Remicade doesn't work for me anymore, and the doctor said it would be useless to try Humira since it's essentially the same thing as Remicade. What to do?

I thought there were differences between remicade and humira, I'm sure someone on here has tried remicade and stopped as it wasn't working and changed onto humira, or maybe the other way round. I may be wrong but I thought I read it on here, if that is the case may be worth talking to GI again.

Not sure about the dosage of 6mp as I am on azathioprine which is similar but could have different dosing rules, I take 150mg per day.
