Azathioprine

Hi peeps, I started on aza 6 weeks ago having put it off for years as I was scared - but now my skin is suffering from being too long on budesonide I am trying it. At first I thought I wasn’t having side effects and my blood results have been acceptable. However I have now realised that my bad low back pain, tummy pains after eating, zombie malaise, and now sore throat are all side effects and seem to be getting worse. I also have a UTI that doesn’t seem to want to go away even after second lot of antibiotics. Does anyone have experience of similar ? Should I persevere?
