Hi all 1st of all hey red_34 im so happy for you, I to am doing great from i started imuran over a year ago tho like you i still get some ibs symptoms but thats like a walk in the park compared to my UC the last 6 years.Yes imuran{6mp} does sound like scary drugs but so does eating to much red meat or smoking and drinking, the benefits by far out way the risks, Maybe in a few years i could stop it and see if my UC has gone, for now im feeling great and if any1 was like me depending on steroids for years please give imuran or 6mp ago its change my life and the life of my family.I have not been on here much but would love to here from all my old buddys and any input or questions from you ALL. THANKS FOR READING...
