I have been on Imuran for a year ... at 150mg presently and recently reduced to 100mg. I was increased from 100mg to 150mg 6 weeks ago after a metoblite blood test told my GI doc that my theraputic levels were too low. Then after awhile, another blood test was taken. Theraputic levels still too low and my GI doc said that I didn't have the enzymes to break down Imuran to begin with. I don't understand ... this is after $1000 worth of tests to make sure I can and doctor tests ... and then since then the increase in dose over the last six weeks I've had such bad headaches I've been in the ER twice, had a CTscan and am taking vicodin daily .. I'm in pain all day long and wake up in the middle of the night in the same.
Can anyoe help me with what is going on?
I've had clumps of hair fallen out but growing back and brusing over the last year for no reason ... my hair is recently dry and brittle too ...nausous and low grade fevers off and on.
I feel lousely ....
thanks, me!
