Hi, I have been on 50 mg/imuran per day and remicade once every eight weeks since Jan. 2009. How often does your doctor monitor your blood and liver enzymes? Is it every infusion or just once or...

Have you had a liver panel done where they check your liver enzymes? I was on 100 mg of Imuran about five years ago and my enzymes were very high. I stopped the medication for a few years. Recently I...
It has opened my eyes to medical issues. I have a greater curiosity as to what goes on in ER rooms and hospitals. I can not see enough on the Discoery Health channel. Now I find out it is going to be...
