Hi amandajane76,

I'm sorry to hear that you struggled with imuran. For some reason some people with lupus just don't respond well to certain treatments but do to others. There is currently a big national research study being started to investigate this more closely.

Have you discussed the possible side-effects with your consultant? They vary so much between patients that it isn't possible to say what may affect you and what may not.
