I'm still taking it because it's supposed to prevent my body from making antibodies against Remicade. The Remicade keeps me feeling great and I don't want to risk losing that. | F | 13 | 2 years | 2/6/2005 | 4 | Ulcerative Colitis | After about 4 weeks I started to feel nausea each day, then started to be sick. My blood results where good so there was no explanation for this. My IBD nurse suggested that I take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 late afternoon (I take 100mg). This worked a treat and I am no longer sick! I was almost taken off of the drug because of the effects - I'm so glad I tried this first. | F | 27 | 6 weeks | 1/27/2005 | 3 | Ulcerative Colitis | Nausea, tiredness, stomach bloating | It's too early to tell if this is working well for me, but my UC symptoms have subsided quite a bit. The main problem I have is the nausea and bloating - which seem to happen about 1 hour after taking the Azathioprine. I am now taking the tablet before bed to see if this will help. | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 1/22/2005 | 5 | Kidney Transplant | Minor hair loss. Cough from a cold will last 3 months. Some Joint Pain in Rt.

Very pleased with my health considering. | F | 39 | 13 years | 1/18/2005 | 3 | Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia | I have a considerable amount of hair loss but am not sure that is all due to the Imuran. I was having hair loss before but it does seem to have intensified. I have been taking the Imuran for 9 weeks now and just last week began to feel extremely tired again. All of my counts were good just the week before so I believe it probably is the Imuran causing the fatigue. I would love to hear from anyone with hemolytic anemia. I do believe the Imuran is helping my blood counts to stay up though. | F | 41 | 9 weeks | 1/17/2005 | 5 | Multiple food allergies | Longer duration of colds, bronchitis, & sinusitis - taking twice/three times as long to | I can now eat (in moderation) most of the foods which before gave me chronic itching, rashes & constantly flaking skin.

After about three to four weeks on it, I suddenly had lots more energy and felt tremendously better. I stopped taking it a couple of times, worried about infections or thought maybe I just didn't need it anymore. Big mistake. Disease symptoms, that I had forgotten just how bad they were, all returned. I went right back on Imuran. Huge improvement for me. I still worry about the possibilty of a suppressed immune system and possilble infections, although no major problems yet. | F | 45 | 2 years | 12/10/2004 | 3 | crohn's | lots of hair loss, joint pain, (fatigue- but that could be due to iron deficiency) hair loss is definately the hardest part. | F | 30 | 1 days | 12/7/2004 | 3 | agf | adf | afd | F | 1 | 3 days | 11/11/2004 | 5 | Lupus & Psoriatic Arthritis | Breats feel very tender and a little swollen.

I feel 29 again instead of 99. My kids are amazed and laughing because their mom can get off the couch and play with them like I used to.
