Experiences with

Imuran

That concern is magnified because my elderly mother has Myesthenia Gravis, not doing well and on Imuran and I don’t want to pass any illness to her. I have an appointment for Thursday to discuss it with my doctors assistant.

Hello, my doctor at Cleveland Clinic called yesterday and told me that they want to put me on Imuran. He said it's better for my liver than other medication for Takayasus (I now have definite diagnosis from CC). He wants me to start it right away.

My Rheumatologist is suggesting adding Imuran (Azathioprine) but I am very hesitant to take an immunosuppressant/anti rejection drug... I feel very alone and would just like to hear other people's stories and see what everyone has to say and how they deal with and treat their Lupus or nephritis.

Has anyone had an intolerance to Imuran? If so, what was successfully prescribed in place? Extremely interested in LDN. Even read something about hydroxychloroquine. Are the side effects temporary and should just endure it?

I also just started Colchicine for flares and Imuran daily. I've also been on Otezla since August of 2023. I guess my question is how long did it take you to notice a difference on Otezla? Because I honestly don't know if it's doing anything for me and it's been several months now.

Levels moving in right direction with Imuran and prednisone titrating down 5mg weekly from 60mg. Frustrating though that I don’t know if my actions are directly positively or negatively affecting my symptoms or labs. Like with my daughter’s type 1 diabetes, we exhaustingly manage all day.

My son has had pain around, or just above his belly button since end Nov. It went away for 2 weeks, and has since been bad again for another 3, preventing him attending school. Eating doesn't seem to affect it, and he is going to the toilet normally. We have tried buscopan (didn't seem to make

I was first told that I had Autoimmune Hepatitis after my Fibro scan results and that I needed to start treatment with Imuran and prednisone. GI dr said that if treatment didn't work I would be put on a liver transplant list. She then said. "I'm sorry".

I failed methotrexate and Arava and Imuran. I’m simmering at tolerable pain with 7.5mg of prednisone and plaquenil and some occasional ibuprofen. It’s not ideal and I suffer but it’s what I have right now. My new doctor is ready to get approval for Orencia.

Therefore my immune system has been battered by imuno suppressants and Pred for many years - although since 2016, I have been off the Imuran and no Pred for about 10 years. Since 2010, I have had cardiac ectopic beats followed by ache in my chest/neck/sternum and shoulders.

The doctor who ordered the followup cMRI wrote me in the patient portal and said that he wanted to see another cMRI in three months, and at that time if it is not completely cleared, he wants to give me one of two drugs: Azathioprine (known in the US also as Imuran) or mycophenolate (also known in the

has anyone switched from MMF to Imuran and felt the benefits ? I want to come off MMF because of stomach issues and muscle aches thii oh a us what’s being suggested as an alternative . Jo

apologies sent last post too soon ….. I’m on Immuran ( Azathioprine) and Adoport ( Tacro) and have diarrhoea that isn’t unbearable but would be nice if I didn’t have it. Saw my consultant today who said he’d like it not to be there , and is thinking of a solution …. Anyone any suggestions . Does anyone

I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable.

So a week after finishing the antibiotics I re started imuran, 3 hours after taking it I vomited constantly for 4 hours. I thought I was going to die. I thought maybe my tummy was a bit iritated from the antibiotics and waited another week to try imuran. 

i’ve been started on Imuran/Azathioprine, for arthritis. I will have to be monitored closely, with labs due to my PBC. I was wondering if anyone else had their liver enzymes(inflammation), Get better while on this medication? My hepatologist, and Rheumatologist .

Im not wanting the Imuran and want to get off prednisone. My dream is that Plaquenil takes care of it. Thank you as always. Stephanie

I'm also wondering why I wasn't tried on Imuran. I'm seronegative RA. Anyone want to share their experiences or expertise, i would much appreciate it
