I never got sick on Imuran, but I started at 75mg, 6 weeks later went to 150mg and I got really tired, and went back to 75mg. The dosage might be too high for you, or it's not for you at all, either...
No problems here generally, I love fuzzy peach gummys :)...
Glad to hear the good news :)...
I'm on Imuran and my liver enzymes are up, I heard the same thing happens with Remicade too. I hate blood work, I had to go every week for a month, and now its every 2 weeks, thankfully soon every 4...
3-6 months it can take to kick in, everyone is different ;) Best of luck to u...
In Canada its about $200 for 100 pills, at least in Toronto, ON :) I only paid 20% when I was on that drug, that rest was covered by my work....
Get your potassium levels checked, I had this issue when it was low, was put on potassium pills for a few months, i'm better now ;)...
I hate to say it, but FirzyK23 is so right!! ;)...
I started Imuran 75mg 6 weeks ago, and last week upped it to 150mg (I'm 5'7 and 130lbs) so I'm at the full dose where I should be. I'm feeling better in terms of my CD, but I do still have some...
If it gets really bad and your in a ton of pain go to the ER and they will fix it. In the meantime I'm hoping its nothing like that and only minor if that :)...
I've been tapering my pred for weeks now, and I noticed I feel like that a lot the last 2 weeks or so as I got under 10mg. It's a nasty drug indeed, and sadly I heard from some members it can linger...
I was getting them like crazy too while on entocort but when I came off it I had them too, so I wasn't sure, and well I got blood done and my potassium levels were really low, was put on potassium...
loose weight while on prednisone, I wish! I gained 15lbs in 2 months on it, was on 50mg for a week, then 40mg for 4 weeks, and got down to 7.5mg now, I made a mistake by eating a lot as it gave me...
Since prednisone I've been sweating a lot, but since I went under 10mg it's not so bad anymore :)...
How long did you take prednisone? High doses too? It's very like prednisone caused it, depending on how long you took it for and the dosage. Prednisone is an evil drug long term, even short term! I...
I get these noises sometimes, depends what I eat, or if I don't eat for like 12hrs, its like its saying i'm hungry eat! LOL MY friend gets it often too, he doesn't have CD, I think it varies by the...
Sorry to hear how ur feeling. I've given up on many foods too, onions is a big no no, and popcorn I can handle but after hearing horror stories on here i'm gonna stay away from it.. lol Best wishes...
I'm 5'7.. I was 115lbs a few months ago, I started prednisone in October 5th or so, i'm now 135lbs... I gained 20lbs in 2 months... it's a good thing, but it's bad weight, fat around my belly and...
Been on Entocort before, it worked for about a yr and a bit and then stopped working, so he pulled me off it and got me on pred, and now Imuran for long term. It sucks I know, great suggestion tho ;)...
Thanks for the replies :) @wednesday2007, the pain is in my lower to mid back, hands, and knees, never had this till I started pred, and it's hard to describe, it feels like its burning sometimes or...
I hard about this, I thought about taking it, but I heard if you take too much of it you can get D and I don't know how much is too much, and I hate D... lol.. has anyone tried it?...
I started Imuran 5 weeks ago today, was on 75mg, tonight I was told to go to 150mg which was my target. I don't know if i'll go lower on it later or what now, but I guess he wants me into remission...
For me a flare of symptoms are gas, pain in my right side non stop (where my CD is) and sometimes D which happens usually every 3 weeks if i'm active with my CD. If your having D everyday your CD can...
Last time I saw my GI doc he advised me to taper off prednisone, i'm at 10mg now, on Friday 7.5mg and every Friday go down 2.5mg till i'm off it which is first week in Jan 2008. My symptoms are still...
I drink OJ with Imuran and I have no issues, that has 125% of Vit C per cup and I drink 2 glasses a day ;) No issues here, however if anyone takes too much Vit C they can get D, but when I mean a...
When I was on Entocort I started getting back pain after the first week, I brushed it off tho, it wasn't too bad, it went away for the most part after a few weeks but now and then I still got pain in...
Sorry to hear that you got dumped, there's millions of guys out there, never give up ;) Getting a little drunk is fun, the day later isn't tho, lol.. BUT the main thing is, if you had fun that night...
Drinking more water will help you go to the bathroom I generally drink about 6-8 glasses a day (which is 4x500ml water bottles). The longest i've gone was 5 days, and yes it feels weird cos I usually...
Good question! Well diaherra can happen right after a meal for some, or 1-2hrs after eating dairy foods, but most food I heard is 4-6 hrs till its worked on well, and up to 12hrs to fully digest for...
Everyone is different, some can eat this and some can't eat this (this being a certain food) I can't eat Eggs at all or i'm gas central, lol.. but I agree fast food is a big no no, which is obvious,...
Side Effects of Remicade, Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur: More common Chest pain; chills; fever; flushing of face; hives; itching; troubled breathing...
Apprently tho smoking makes things worse for CD, so I guess eating it is better?...
I'm sorry to hear your not feeling that great, never heard of Tetracycline as an option, but hope it works for you. As your concerned about sun while your away just wear strong sunscreen and you...
^ I remember that episode, lol Odd remedy tho.. hmmm.....
Probiotics usually help me only if I take it before the meal however I tend to forget.. lol If your eating right and taking them still avoid pop, it really does it, for me anyways. Gas is my major...
Well generally it depends on your weight and they determine your dose that way, some respond to low doses tho, the lower the better they hope for :)...
Hey we have something in common granna i've been on Imuran for a month as of yesterday too! LOL I'm still having pain, gas tho but no other issues. I'm hoping the pain will go away, but for all I...
Hope your doing better :)...
I got bad acne on my back and chest, I hate it! Also, my face puffed up too and I gained about 15-20 lbs, and it's gone to my stomach and upper chest area. It is really depressing but it's all from...
Let's hope, the more drugs out there for us the better I find :)...
Hi there, i'm taking Imuran which is in the same class as 6MP. I find taking it at night i'm not as tired in the day. The side effects do go away usually after a few weeks at most. Hang in there, as...
Were u feeling sick before you went on aziothioprine (Imuran)? Or did it occur a few days after going on it? When did you start the prednisone btw? It should kick in within 4 days or so, it helped my...
I'm in the same boat as both of you, but I have a bit of pain on my right side, but more so on the left. It drives me crazy. I get a lot of gas tho, that could be it too. Go figure ;)...
That's horrible they accused you of such, it's never happened to me but my family doc gave me percocets for pain but when I went to my GI he said don't take percocets as they will constipate me and...
I believe life expectancy will be a bit better now than it was 20 yrs ago. Just imagine being only on pred as the hope to help you. However, all of these medications in the end can't be good, sure...
It's happening to me and I'm tapering prednisone, I was given Ativan 1mg as well, take it when needed for anxiety. Prednisone is a horrible drug, I'm now on aziothiaprine (Imuran) and that's it for...
Hey tater, did you gain weight by taking prednisone? I gained 20 pounds in 1.5 months of taking 40mg, i've been tapering the last 4 weeks, I hope the weight gain slows down. I never weighed 135lbs...
I know your not taking prednisone, but I had migrating joint pain in my hands, knees, arm, and feet for a week when I started it and I was screaming in pain and was given oxy to handle it. I'm...
Sorry to hear that, and 4yrs too, wow! Well it's his loss in the end, what a shame to break up over this. It's not easy for us at times and everyone has hard times. I know it's hard for our bf/gfs to...
Eat it with food and it's not too bad, I try to swallow it as fast as possbile....
