Azathioprine
Hi All, I am starting azathioprine on Thursday and have been suspended from work while I am on them as they are
immunosuppressants
and I work in a lab.

Immunosuppressants
If you have not done so already, please have a discussion with your transplant team re the affects of
immunosuppressants
on the gut microbiome. It is not a question of "if" but "when" changes will occur.

Methotrexate
So I'm wondering and concerned about taking 2 strong
immunosuppressants
. I would love to hear what others think about this and how it has helped or hindered you.

Low T3
Hi This is my first posting on this site. I was diagnosed with hashimoto's in 2012 and have been taking levothyroxine since then. Am currently taking 125mcg daily and still have lots of symptoms of hypothyroidism, fatigue, hair loss, difficulty losing weight, brain fog, poor memory to name a few.

Feeling down
I have hyper mobility, mild asthma and connective tissue disease (probable lupus) I was put on a immunosuppressant back in July. They are strong so I said I didn't want my dose increased when I saw the nurse a couple of weeks ago. My fatigue reduced. I started to feel well again apart from when I come

Flu jab if having a flare up ?
I've been having a flare up since June so am on high dose steroids and
immunosuppressants
. It's still not under control yet. How I look at it is that drugs are trying to suppress my immune system and putting a flu virus into me now could make me poorly and poor body won't know what to do.

Worrisome info about vaccines
This is specific to NEuromyelitis Optica but the overlap with MS and the odd fact that immunosuppressive DMTs are protective makes me want to "watch this space" Plus if you are on an immunosuppressive DMT, I wonder how effective your immune response to a vaccine is? Is there reduced efficacy? https:/

Alternative Treatment for RA
I was diagnosed with RA in February 8, 2017. This is the most painful experience that I’ve ever been through. October 2016; after two weeks of training for employees to run new machine, I did a lot of heavy lifting at work which I normally don’t do at work. I felt pain on my right shoulder but I told

Shingles vaccine or not with immunosuppressant
I have chronic sarcoidosis in the lungs and am permanently breathless if I move around. I take prednisone and mycophenalate. The mycophenalate switches off my immune system. L had a flu and pneumonia vaccines last week , but they also have me down for needing the shingles one. I thought I wasn't allowed

Insomnia and mycophenalate/ immunosuppressants? Anything anyone's had to help?
Hi, Wondering if anyone is on mycophenalate (cellcept) and has had problems with insomnia from it and if so what helps please? I'm just upping my dosage (still only on half of what I will be on in a month) but really can't sleep. I'm also on prednisolone so that might be affecting it too. I hate taking

A Quick Question About Immunosuppressants and Exposure to Chickenpox.
What I'm not clear about is whether having these antibodies provides
complete
protection against infection with chicken pox when also on
immunosuppressants
?

10 Weeks post Transplant
Anyway I am now on fortnightly visits to the post tx clinic and steroids have been lowered but still waiting for the
immunosuppressants
to be lowered so I can be relieved of this horrible symptom.

Levothyroxine therapy and impaired clearance are the strongest contributors to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
Given the prevalence of gut issues reported here, often (but not always) in those taking levothyroxine, I hope the existence of this paper helps. At least it is something to quote! Very interesting to know how adding liothyronine (T3) - or liothyronine-only - would be assessed. [i]World J Gastroenterol

Azathioprine advice?
I'm new to this site, and also
immunosuppressants
. My doctor just prescribed Azathioprine for active Crohn's, and as I am planning to return to Spain (from the US) for another school year, and won't be in the US with my regular doctor, it makes me kind of nervous.
