So happy for u...
I started off at 60mg and was tapering by 10mg a week. When I got to 50mg I got really sick but I wasn't on any other meds besides flagyl and cipro. I'm at a stand still of 40 mg now and doing so...
I was also stArted on imuran as a first med. I was on prednisone for a couple weeks first. I guess he thought that alone would wound clear the inflammation. I'm only on 50mg though and have been for...
I'm so sorry, praying you get some relief...
I've been on azathropine/imuran 50mg for a month now and also on prednisone 40mg until the imuran gets in my system. How long was it before you started to feel better with the imuran?...
It's not hard pebbles just thicker than usual. Like almost formed. But less quantity. I don't eat very very much tho. 2 small meals a day basically. I'm hoping not constipation. I'm so scared of...
Thank you so much, we're u able to taper off prednisone ok with imuran?...
Is the Metamucil powder ok? How much?...
Since it's more formed has it been less? My urgency has gotten so much better and I have been going only 2-3 times a day but only a pebble may come out or only gas. I don't eat nearly as much as I...
Still on my first rx of azathioprine so it hasn't started to work yet. Just waiting for some relief. Predisone has helped with bleeding and my urgency is better. Idk if it's either one working but I...
Thanks for the responses I feel a lot better....
I'm a lil 200lbs, and i have read imuran goes by your weight. My GI says they have to monitor my blood before he ups my dose...
Wonderful...
Levi I hope it puts me in remission also, and I have rx for rectal meds but waiting on insurance. Generic rowasa $400 for 7???? Ridiculous...

Thanks for the responses, still wondering about the pancolitis...
I long for remission, people have been on these meds for years. If they are not making me feel worse I'm taking them especially if I was symptom free. Anything bad can happen to either one of us that...
Please forgive me if this is a dumb question. But how do you know if it's mucous in your stool. I never could tell. I'm checking my symptoms everyday but I don't remember ever having mucous. Is it...
Don't know if it helps but in bed if I lie on my right side it helps with the bathroom breaks....
My situation is pretty different but I understand this disease affecting surgery. Ever since I was dx with Uc my c section incision has opened back up sum and drain and having a hard time healing....
You think if you added sum texture to it that would give the look of thickness? I'm a hairstylist too and that's what I useably would do to a client with thinning hair. Get a good volume thickening...
Thanks ipoop pretty much sums it up huh...

Thank you Judy because I have done it and won't do it again. Madcat after 40mg I go to 35 and so forth, thanks...
I understand, I'm self employed but that only means yea I can take off but there's definitely no pay. I wish I would have gotten insurance that would cover if I had gotten sick. But who thinks they...

Thanks for that info aguy It seems asacol helps a lot. Does it work faster than imuran?...
