I have been on 100mg of azathioprine for two weeks. I've been taking it when I get up, around 5am. The last 3 or 4 days, I've been experiencing some pretty good fatigue in the afternoon - starting around 2 or 3pm. Yesterday, along with the fatigue, came some stomach discomfort and general body soreness.
The stomach discomfort felt mostly like I was very full, even though I hadn't eaten more than usual. A week ago I started taking greens powder (1 tbsp), potato starch (2 tbsp), and psyllium seed powder (1 tbsp) in the morning (with two glasses of water), so I don't know if this could be the cause of the discomfort.
Anyway, today I have been feeling fatigue (worse than before), chills (it's 72F, but I have a sweatshirt, hood, slippers and a blanket on), stomach discomfort (same or slightly worse than yesterday), and body soreness (worse than yesterday). I feel like I have a fever, but I do not. This all started much earlier than yesterday, around 9 or 10am, and I haven't eaten anything since I had an english muffin for breakfast.
Does this all sound like side effects of the azathioprine? Or something else? If it's something else, when do I start getting concerned?
Thanks very much!
