Hi All
I rather recently had my official DX of BD and they have recommended a reverse taper of Azathioprine starting low and increasing dramatically to dampen symptoms alongside Colchicine to aid with muscular issues. All that sounded well aside from the obvious immunosuppressant questions I had as a newbie. However I threw a bit of a spanner in the works when I informed them I am currently under investigation for skin cancer meaning I am currently ineligible for Azathioprine until dermatology gives me the all clear or the bad news (whichever becomes apparent).
My question is has anyone had skin cancer and been offered an alternative to azathioprine or is it just a case of riding the storm? Also has anyone had any successes with the autoimmune protocol diet, it was recommended to me a while back by the CoE but it seem like a radical choice.
