Help-- is this liver pain form Imran.

Well i have had this intense pain near my breat bone especailly after eating for about 1 week.  Cannot find a comfortable postion.  also goes around to my back.  Feels very full , tight and crampy.  Soooooo nausuas too. 

Oh yes- i am 7 weeks preggers too.  I have been Imuran for over a month and am titrating on npredisone.. UGH-- this pain goes on for up to 3 hours.  Usually hits 1/2 to an hour after eatig.  Just had a blood test today which shows liver counts what ever they are are elevated although not severly elevated.  bilirubin is ok.  Please ---any thoughts or suggestions are great appreciated.

no no not gerds... i had the same exact thing when i was on imuran. it started after about the 2-3 week on it. and it was bad.
i was taken in an ambulence to the hospital for the same exact pain, word for word.
after eating, under breastbone that spread around the back like in a band around your body. cant get comfortable or away from pain no matter what position you are in or what you do.

it WAS FROM THE IMURAN. my liver counts didnt sky rocket til after hospital.

they thought i had gall stones and did mri and ultrasounds and found nothing. it was from imuran, cuz dr told me to stop taking it and the pain never came back after the very day i stopped imuran.
imuran can cause pancreatitis too which is also a similar sort of pain.

your probably intolerant to imuran like i was.

my dr told me to stop after tht hospital incident and seriously, i immediately felt better within days.
the pain just went a way and never came back.

the symptoms were the same as yours word for word. identical.

and you dont need to be on imuran to be pregnant. im not. i take my prednisone and mesalasine and supplements.
plenty of women with UC are preggers without being on imuran. i wouldnt worry too much, stress only makes things worse.
just try to feel better and get off the imuran. my dr even said my pain meds are okay to take while preggers.

you'll be okay. one step at a time. see how you do being off the imuran first and if those symptoms go away.

I am sooooooo thankful for  your post.  I didn't take the imuran today and think I am feeling better already.  I could have slept all day-  I have been so uncomfortable for the past week I have not been sleeping well.  I probably should have take off  work earlier-  so hard to see patients ( am a psychotherapist) in that kind of pain.  Still nausaus and havingsoem discomfort where i metioned before but nithig like last night or the any of this week.

the melamines have not done much for me-  can't take the enemas due to a pelvic floor disorder which was made worse by the enemas.  Not sure what they will suggest next.  Do you thik 6mp would give me the same side effects?

i told ya. same exact thing for me.

you're just intolerant to imuran. its not the end all or be all of meds.
not to worry. just on to the next thing.

at least your not in that horrible pain anymore. omg

I thi9k they were ok- but not 100% sure. I am seeing my doc. next tuesday to review it all.
