Whats the soonest you've seen Imuran work for you? Weeks, months?

i went on pred and imuran together, the pred was supposed to be a "bridge" to remission.  I was on pred for 6 weeks, went off, small bit of blood, gi increased imuran from 50 mg to 100mg and ive been pretty much in remission since. 

so to answer your question, looks like the imuran took about 6 weeks to start to see improvments. 

Yes no drugs. Um...lets see started out going to the bathroom about three times and that was clearing my fiber. I take fiber every night before bed. No blood or any, no urgency but still feel a little pressure in the butt. I had pork chops and potato for breakfast, just a little not a whole bunch. A glass of unsweetened almond milk with honey in it.

 I know my poops are not normal and I'm very excited about starting Imuran.

I'll tell you what I've been on Candida Freedom for 5 days as well and I feel better bowel wise but it's not a cure all and I'm experiencing DIE OFF (herx) from it that's for sure.

I just wanted to get things on a clear if I could before I started Imuran.

 

Unfortunately, it took almost 6 months for imuran to kick in for me. It allowed me to get off prednisone, but has not put me into full remission. Soooo much better than I was though.

     When my doctor started me on 6MP I was also on prednisone.  I believe it took 3 months to "kickin".  I did enjoy a two year remission at first, but then started to flare yearly, then twice a year...then all the time.  Tried Remicade and Humira, both failed.  I had surgery in 2010.

I'm at 4 months now and almost in remission
