Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm on 150mg Aza which I believe is maximum dose for my weight now? Previously that dose has kept me very well generally aside from the odd very mild flare. Pred in...
Thanks Andrina, I haven't got an appointment with him until November now but I can see my GP and see if they can put me back on Pred and see how I get on....
Hi, No not at all, I've taken it solidly since 2009 but missed about 3 doses in a row one week (I was working nights and totally forgot!) what I meant by 2-3 months is I haven't forgotten a dose at...
Hi all, Not been here for some time, thankfully i've been in remission from UC for several years (albeit with the odd mild flare that a short course of steroids sorted out). However lately I haven't...
Hi all, My U/C history is in my sig to save me repeating myself but a few days ago I didn't go to the toilet for 2 or 3 days, have been going the past 2 days ok but I've developed a cramping pain on...
Congratulations! Glad everything went well :)...
I've never heard of the mists before, I'm in the UK though? Will swine flu vaccine be live then when we finally get it?...
Ah, that's ok then. No i don't think flu vaccine is live, infact the only live one i knew about here was polio and i'm not even sure they give that live on a spoon like they used to anymore....
I've been advised to have a flu jab this week but the Azathioprine leaflet says you shouldn't have immunisations whilst taking it? Has anyone else had flu jab whilst on it and was everything ok?...
I'm female, i was on warfarin a couple of years ago and lost some hair with being on that and just recently my hair dresser had noticed how it had become thick and recovered nicely again and now...
I started Azathioprine almost 6 weeks ago and have been suffering hair loss since around week 2, i was also on pred though but came off that 2 weeks ago. It doesn't seem to be slowing down though and...
Thanks everyone, will keep an eye on my temp, so far it's fine though, just feeling a bit rubbish! Unfortunately when i get ill my body doesn't forget about my colon though lol, it always makes the...
Hope it went well, i had it happen during an exam in June, it was so embarrasing in such a silent room!...
Two of my children have started with a cold and this evening i can feel myself coming down with it too, i've been on Azathioprine for about 5 weeks now and at my last appointment my gastro nurse said...
I got pregnant during this flare last October, it got worse and i had a miscarriage at 9 weeks in December. Definately not risking another pregnancy until it's under control but even then not sure if...
I see you are on Azathioprine, can you have an IUD with that because i read in the booklet it makes it less effective, or is that just the copper ones? I'm sort of stuck at the minute you see as with...
Thanks for your replies, it's been getting better again now, i saw my gastro nurse today who thinks it's more likely just a virus rather than anything to do with the azathioprine yet as she said if...
I started 100mg Azathioprine on Thursday and since last night have been suffering from slight breathlessness and a cough that has come from nowhere, do you think it could be something to do with the...
Thanks everyone, I went to see my gp about my eyes today and he thinks it could be linked to the UC or it could be an allergic reaction to something so before prescribing anything for it just going...
I've been on prednisolone since March after a bad flare left me in hospital, since then we have tapered down very slowly whilst trying other 5ASA drugs, as it is i've reacted to them all so they've...
I have been advised to wait until i'm not flaring before getting pregnant as pregnancy can send you either way, for some pregnancy sends people into remission but for others it makes it worse. As it...
I've been flaring in varying degrees since August last (yet to find meds that work) but i have noticed getting a cold virus has made it worse for me, i brought a cold back from holiday last week and...
I've also been put on a starting dose of 125mg of azathioprin, i thought it seemed high too after seeing what most people here are on. I have to admit though i still haven't started it as i'm a bit...
Thanks for the replies, I guess if i don't take it i will never know, i think just after the 3 we have already tried i'm just assuming nothings going to work and i don't like what the azathioprine...
Hi I'm new here, I started having problems last August, had a sigmoidoscopy last November and finally got diagnosed in February with proctitis, got put on mezavant and ended up hospitalised not long...
